Amethyst Chip Three-Strand Necklace
This piece began as a large bag of amethyst tumbled chips which needed to be used up. I had plenty of fishing line, three-tier spacer bars and a normal clasp so I played around to see what I could come up with. My design was based on inspiration from my mother as her birthstone is […]
Starry Night Beaded Necklace
I consider simple necklaces very beautiful. When I made this one I used a combination of dark blue semi-precious sodalite and golden Czech crystal glass beads. The colors remind me of a night sky with golden stars. I made the pendant by wrapping sterling silver wire and a few beads around the main sodalite bead. […]
Cool Blues Necklace
I started with cool blue lampwork glass beads with foil detail stripes and added blue lampwork glass cubes to accompany them. The sequence is suspended from a double cotton thong and completed with a silver plated toggle clasp. I live a short ride from the North Sea and this was the inspiration for this piece–the […]
Ocean Drops Necklace
This necklace is made up of Swarovski crystal drop pendants in aquamarine, sapphire, and tanzanite. The pendants seem to float amongst the sterling silver liquid beads. This necklace is finished with a square shaped sterling silver toggle clasp. It was strung using .019 SoftFlex beading wire and is 19 1/2″ in length.
Navajo Mix Set
I picked up some size 6 beads in this color mix called “Navajo” and was inspired to make myself a necklace and matching earrings. I also used various stones from a mixed set, silver spacers and bead caps and metallic copper seed beads. I made the earrings by threading seed beads with the size 6 […]
Red Aventurine Necklace
This necklace is quite a stunning piece! It is strung with red aventurine rectangle beads, large sage green freshwater pearls and mocha Swarovski crystals. Silver daisy spacers add a nice accent. I started with the aventurine and added the pearls and crystals in colors that would give a fall themed look.
Fernwood Forest Heart Leaf Gemstone Necklace
This beaded necklace is made up of green garnet lentil gemstones, oval-shaped wood beads, sterling silver beads and sterling Bali spacers. I added a Karen Hill Tribe heart-shaped leaf pendant and used a sterling silver clasp and chain to allow it to be adjustable. I was inspired by the lush green trees found in the […]
Buddha Necklace & Earrings
To start the necklace, I cut 3 pieces of beading wire, the first one longer for the focal point of the Buddha. I strung the charm, amazonite 4mm round beads, and bali saucers on the first length of wire and crimped both sides around small round pewter links. The round links are then attached to […]
Four Strings Dark Pearl Necklace
This necklace is made of pearls and onyx round flat beads. It consists of four strings of black, grey and blue pearls in different sizes which I separated with little metallic pony beads. I used round flat onyx beads here and there to connect the strings and to finish the necklace of. The clasp is […]
Purple Moon Necklace
I made this necklace on 3 purple metal threads, finished of with a Tibetan silver toggle clasp and close with 2 shrink beads. I used glass beads in all shades of purple, different shapes of black onyx beads and miracle beads. I especially like the deep dark purple color of this piece and the way […]
Seaweed Necklace
I combined peridot chips and nephrite Jade in this three strand necklace to create a piece which reminds me of the seaweed we see along our coasts. I love the way the greens work together and the contrast in textures between the peridot and the smooth jade. The strands are loosely woven in and out […]
Australian Outback Evening Sky
This necklace is a wonderful two strand necklace with a lobster claw clasp. One stand is 17″ and the other is 19″. I created a matching 3 strand bracelet and earrings to accompany this necklace. I used fire polished glass beads in the shapes of butterflies and circles with moon and stars, silver cast metal […]
Coral Charms Necklace
This necklace was inspired by one of my favorite orange-y colors (even my car is this color!). I had the flat beads, round beads and heart lying around and they just finally came together. Clear pony beads act as spacers. The dangly charms are on silver headpins and I used silver wire to string it […]
Oceans Of Malachite And Aventurine Necklace
In the heat of summer, I wanted to create an oasis of cool colors. I started with a silver, green, and blue pendant which I wrapped in green 20 gauge wire with a few silver spacers. I combined some of my grandmother’s large malachite beads with aventurine rounds, lapis lazuli chips, green seed beads, silver […]
Handmade Brown Swirl Beads And Pearls Necklace
I just love the handmade clay beads in this necklace. They are a combination of brown, tan, and white. I combined them with freshwater pearls and antique silver spacers that have a slightly bronze cast to them which makes them coordinate very well. The necklace measures 15 and one half inches long with a lobster […]
Not Your Mothers Pearl Necklace
I took the softest black suede cord, approx. 72 inches and after each knot I would string a freshwater pearl that was hand-wrapped with fine silver. I would repeat this pattern randomly to the end of the cord. Then I would double wrap and sometimes triple wrap making it a multi-stranded necklace. I finished it […]
Olivia Necklace
The blue, green and dark grey 6 mm bead combination and the intricate central motif add up to a vibrant necklace that makes me think about spring and blossoms. This necklace measures about 46cm and it is finished with a silver plated lobster clasp and a chain that makes it adjustable.
Summer Necklace
This necklace is made of various Swarovski crystals and silver findings. It is strung on Beadalon 49 .018 silver plated steel wire. I love both of these materials, and I think they suit each other very well.
Orange Clay Bead Choker
Very simple choker but I really like it. These are orange clay beads, I think 10mm spaced with 4mm black beads. It’s attached in the back with a simple toggle clasp and a piece of silver plated chain. The crimp beads at the ends are covered with silver bead caps. This necklace looks great.
Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant
The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]
