Pretty In Pink Strawberry Quartz Pendant Necklace
Created with rose quartz, pink czech glass, pink and gold lampwork, crystal, gold and a stunning circular strawberry quartz pendant. The necklace measures 16 and one half inches and the pendant is 1 and one half inches in diameter. I used a gold toggle clasp to finish it.
Butterfly Brown Necklace
This necklace consists of many of my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones and Japanese seed beads. My theme and colour palette were decided upon as part of a nature series, this piece being the butterfly. I have hand forged silver pieces to represent the slender butterly feelers, with my lampwork glass butterfly sculpture becoming the focal […]
Violet Embroidered Fantasy Necklace
Bead embroidered cuff and necklace made from rough opals (polished by myself), charoite, amethyst, pearls, swarovski, silver beads, rainbow moonstone beads, purple jade, violet glass beads (roses) and Miyuki Delicas. For the base I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff and a blank brass collar and cuff. To make this whole set, including polishing the opals, takes […]
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 […]
Red Glass Autumn Necklace
First, I made these round beads from off cuts glass. Due to unknown C.O.E. of the glass I couldn’t mix any other colors on the beads hence I made the disc beads to add interest to my piece. I strung some citrine chips on small waxed linen thread in different length with small knots on […]
Queen Of The Undead
I created this set to accessorize my costume one year when I attended a Halloween party dressed as a vampire. The set consists of faceted dark blue glass beads used to set off the primary irridescent glass skull beads throughout. The beaded flowers and main pendant are made from wire shaped into flower bases and […]
Orange Madness Necklace Set
I fell in love with these bulky ceramic beads. Their surface is shiny and smooth and they have a funky look. I combined them with glass beads to lighten and brighten them and at the same time enhance their orange shades. I put together different shapes to achieve a more dynamic composition. I did not […]
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 […]
Black Filigree & Hematite Vines Ornate Pendant Necklace
This ornate set was made with a matte black coloured 3D filigree pendant (5.7cm x 5cm), Hematite rice shaped and round beads, facetted opaque black glass beads, some with fire polished finish and silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads. The seed beads used are foil lined dark grey and opaque black. The beads were strung […]
Jessica’s Big Blue Glass Drop Necklace
Inspired by a friend who wanted something bright for an outfit, this dichroic glass necklace was designed with a simple bright blue oversized glass drop hanging on small silver lined crystal seed beads (so they wouldn’t compete with the drop and would add some “bling” at the same time). While simply composed, this piece is […]
Hippy Chick Necklace
I used a Bronze Metal Clay pendant by Summers Studio, lengths of brass chain, and an assortment of Czech glass beads, leaves, and flowers. I wanted to make something airy, fun, and a little playful without it being too girly-girl. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or a blouse and a long, […]
Maile Leaf With Fresh Water Pearls And Green Glass Leaves
The pendant was the inspiration for this piece. It’s a Hawaiian Maile leaf (from my home state), dipped in gold. My husband wore a fragrant Maile leaf lei in our wedding, so Maile leaves have sentimental value for me. The rest of the necklace is comprised of green glass leaves, and other green glass beads […]
Rattlesnake Choker
I’ve been working a lot with a weave pattern involving three strands of beads…I wanted the challenge of creating a five strand necklace and I thought it worked well as a choker. When I finished it, my little son looked at it and said it looked like a rattlesnake…I thought he described it quite well. […]
Earthy Delights Necklace
I made this necklace using a ceramic pendant that is handmade by RedCrowArts of Etsy. It is handstamped with a leafy pattern and glazed a beautiful green color. I paired this pendant with gorgeous fancy jasper disc beads, green spotty Czech glass, faceted glass rondelles, and teal blue glass petal beads. On the front of […]
Antiqued Copper Pearl Necklace
This necklace was designed with 7-8mm antiqued golden copper freshwater cultured pearls. I separated each pearl with small clear glass seed beads. Chrysolite Swarovski Austrian crystals and sterling silver beads are also used to design this necklace. The large pendant measures 2″x2″ and features colors of frosted amber/copper with hints of green. I finished this […]
Mountain Mist Necklace
I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]
Spring Maiden
Diane Breglieb’s ‘The Face’ accompanied by vintage glass cabs, swarovskis, pearls, and of course, seed beads.
Evening Delight Fringe Choker
This fringe choker was designed for my daughter’s prom party. She had picked a gorgeous pink silk gown with embroidered gold beads–I used glass seed beads to match.
Koala Scribbly Pendant
Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]
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 […]
