Treasure Box Necklace Set
The inspiration for this set was the antique gold finish filigree pieces that seem to have a charm all their own. I connected the filigree pieces with jump rings, strung deep red, small glass disks, garnet and lime Swarovski crystals onto olive colored beading wire, and repeated the process to add more filigree pieces and […]
Byzantine Rose Choker With Fresh Water Pearls
This is a Byzantine rose weave with fresh water pearl dangles. I coiled and cut the rings myself except for the dangle chain. I purchased the rings to make them. The rings used are 5mm ID and 3.5mm ID 18 gauge on the main choker and the dangle chains are 2.5mm 22 gauge. Fresh water […]
Handmade Chain With Pearls
This necklace I made from wire cutted in to small pieces and made into “links” to from a chain. Light blue swarovski pearls was added to finish it of. This is very time consuming but the result was worth every second.
A Marriage In Purple
Purple is one of my husband’s favorite colors and animal print is one my weaknesses. So accidentally dropping a dyed hammer-shell bead next to a piece of purple leather in my workroom made me think the two were meant to marry! I accented zebra print shells, mother-of-pearl nugget shells and hand-cut leather with multi-shaped black […]
Carmenita Necklace and Earrings
Exotic necklace made of Amethyst stones, red-brown Agate chip stones, Swraovksi pearls. The center drop contains Amethyst and red-brown agate stone (attached with a black Swarovski crystal. I specially designed this for my friend from Vietnam for her birthday. I really like the colour combination. It’s easy to make but takes a lot of patience, […]
Neo-victorian Serpentine And Frosted Glass Necklace
For this necklace I started with a serpentine (new jade) cabochon and put it under a large antique brass hoop. I used a piece of oxidized brass filigree as backing to hold it in place. For accent beads I used a few smaller matching serpentine jade beads and some flat oval beads made of frosted […]
Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set
Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.
Flower Ribbon Necklace
I created a hot pink organza ribbon flower and attached it to the center of the necklace. I then strung together hot pink, cool pink and black faceted beads to create colorful strands of dangling drops. I added three cool pink pearls at the top of the strands for contrast of color. I used silver […]

This necklace is made with a yellow lemon jade gemstone set in one of my silver beadrings. It is connected to other unique patterned silver links. On the other side is a silver spiral linked to an antique silver flower patterned round link attaching to the focal. The focal is a twisted silver circle with […]
Asymmetrical Leather Necklace
This piece is made with navy blue goat leather (roll and circles) golden wood, resin and chain. I tried to make something very modern and different and the result was amazing. I loved it. I showed it in a Art Fair and it was a success. I sold it as the first place. The colour […]

A tiny silver cross and antique style crescent moon and star dangle from the pendant also. To finish off two crystal fire-polished Czech […]
Fall Cluster Statement Necklace
With most of my work this season I have come to the realization that I am in a ‘bigger is better’ frame of mind. I am leaning more towards chunky statement type pieces. Also, I find I enjoy mixing gold and silver a lot and this piece reflects that. I began with only an inkling […]
Green Pearl And Hoop Necklace
I started with a piece of silver plated double hoop chain and put small jump rings on both ends. On head pins are two green bicone pearls with a clear Swarovski crystal in between. Near the clasp again on head pins are two different size green pearls with the smaller of the two in the […]
Asian Gold And White Necklace
I’ve had this pendant for several years, it just laid in a drawer waiting to be used in something…I just had no idea how to use it in a creative way. When I found the chain, I thought it would be a great way finally to showcase the very ornate pendant. I wrapped a a […]
Lucky Dice Necklace
This was the very first piece of proper jewellery I made. It was made for a friend who has her lucky number tattooed on her back in the form of two dice. I made it as a gift for her to celebrate her pregnancy. I used plated silver chain, head pins, eye pins, glass seed […]

Tale Of A Seahorse Necklace
First I formed the frame by hand – no solder here, all cold connections. Once the frame was secured I used countless feet of hair thin wire to stitch the hundreds of 2mm – 4mm sterling silver beads. I added some beautiful blue apatite beads around the belly for a splash of color, and another […]
