Gold Wire Wrapped Necklace

This necklace consists of 0.80mm gold colour wire and 11mm glass pearls.

Purple Moonstone Brooch/Pendant

I got this beautiful purple moonstone from a local cabochon dealer and was nervous about working with it. But after a class by a great friend I was able to bead around it with no problem! I posted the piece on my website as a pin/pendant combo and it was snatched up in no time! […]

Imagination Facination Bracelet

This bracelet is an African opal bracelet with Czech crystal bi-cone flirts. How to make it: Cut two pieces of leather cord about 1 1/2″ shorter than you want it to be to allow for the focal bead and the clasp. I used a heavier 20 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, and did a […]

Good Juju Wire Wrapped Collar

This piece was inspired by a friend’s Kenyan necklace made of bone & horn. I loved the strong shapes and the way the horns tapered around the sides of the neck. My beaded version looks nothing like hers, but it captures a similar earthy, bold feeling. I made frames with 20 gauge sterling plated copper […]

Salmon Coral White Shell Necklace

I have wire wrapped this vintage style necklace with 5 mm round salmon bamboo coral beads and 8 mm round white shell beads into three strands using copper eye pins. One of the strands overlaps the other two strands. I finished it with a brass lobster claw. The length of the necklace is 18 inches.

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace

I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.

Horn, Wood & Glass Bead Necklace

The necklace is handcrafted from horn, wood beads, tiger’s eye beads, crazy lace agate beads, glass beads, silk cord, and is finished with a copper hook and eye clasp. It makes a bold statement and is approximately 26 inches long.

Fall Colors Necklace

The turning leaves in fall inspired me to make this set. I used a gorgeous Garnet for a pendant, fire agate and Czech crystal, burnished gold balls and chain complete this beauty. It will go with almost all the colors of your wardrobe. The necklace is 20″ long, extendable to 22″. The Earrings dangle 1.5″.

Pretty In Yellow Tiger Eye Necklace

I was charmed by the warm color of this big semiprecious stone and thought of using it as a focal bead. To highlight its glow I placed at each side of it a metal bead in bright silver. The brown and yellow tones of tiger eye beads complement its rich yellow hue.

Golden Arielle Bracelet

This bracelet is composed of cute little golden bows separated by bronze flowers. The flowers are arranged from fire polished beads and golden Japanese seeded beads. I used matte gold findings to top it off.

Nature Leather and Seeds Necklace

Necklace made with goat leather, jute, wood, and seeds from a fruit from Amazonas (a

Red Mayan Pendant Necklace

Memory wire was used. Beaded with black and red glass beads. The middle front has silver spacers. A round ring piece is connected with a split ring and beads and charms are connected to that with head and eye pins. I love red and this is one of my favourites in my collection!

Macrame and Beads

This necklace was made using macrame knotting with glass beads and shells.

Ceramic Delight

The focal beads for these earrings are ceramic beads that reminded me of some dishes my grandmother used to have. Seed beads and blue glass beads serve to offset the ceramic beads. These are simple drop earrings with the beads strung on headpins and the headpins attached to earwires.

Venture Necklace

This necklace consists of bronze metal chain with round filigree coins, metal beads, opaque Swarovski bicones and Czech faceted beads.

Curlyhead Bezel Pendant

Cabochons of bone and leopardskin jasper were bezel set for this pendant. For all those folks out there who are blessed with curls!

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 […]

Carnelian And Turquoise Necklace

I use to shy away from turquoise only because of the way the pieces were set. They were all the same. It is such a beautiful stone and such a compliment to many other stones, I couldn’t help myself. This combination reminds me of a sunset walk on the beach, cool waves and warm skies. […]

Pink Dangle Necklace

I found the large silver wire pendant in a craft shop and it took me quite a while to come up with something to put it with. I used bright pink stones along with some pearly beads in pink and cream. I added the bunch to an extra long black cord to create a long […]

Anatolian Wedding Necklace

In Anatolian tradition girls organize a party before getting married. It is traditional to sing very sad songs to make the bride cry before she leaves her family and goes to her husband. In this ceremony usually the bride wears 2 or 3 dresses and changes the jewellery. This is one of them.
