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.
Cancun Waters Bracelet
I used glass beads of delightful blues and greens and attached them to a sterling silver plated chain with square and round jump rings. I made the ‘S’ clasp from 16 gauge sterling silver wire. This piece is breezy and cool and remind me of the waters of Cancun Mexico, thus, the name!
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 […]
Goddess Pendant Necklace
This 21″ necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4″ bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it’s “earthy” feel. The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a […]
Angel Story Charm Bracelet
I particularly love the angel charm in the middle as she seems to be in thought or having a quiet moment. I wanted to make something that was a little fairytale-like and sweet, so I put the basket and umbrella as part of the design, making them seem like they belong to the angel. The […]
Bling Cuff Beaded Bracelet
I strung random glass beads and Swarovski crystals onto a sterling wire which I then wrapped onto a handcrafted wire cuff to create this bracelet. It took some time, patience, creativity and lots of wire. I wanted to create something I could wear to work, weddings or casually.
Bluesy Lampwork Pendant
These lampwork beads were the first in my series of two-two beads featuring an opaque half and a transparent half of the same color. I have made these glass beads from moretti/effetre glass with a trail of fine silver melted through the middle. Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents finish off the pendant.
Blue Love Car Jewel
I created this piece for Valentine’s Day. It consist of a hand-made glass pendant with blue and white swirls. I paired it with a blue hexagonal crystal bead and clear bicone crystal beads.
Pink Shell And Crystal Necklace
This piece was created around the pendant. I wrapped the large round pink shell with silver plated wire and threaded the little flower charms through the wire as I wrapped. Since the pendant was large, I went with a longer necklace, using clear crystals, pink jasper, and salmon glass beads with a metallic hue. The […]
Lampwork Beaded Earrings
These earrings have blue raised floral lampwork glass beads along with Capri Swarovski Crystals, brown Cats Eye Fiber Optic Glass Beads, sterling silver beads and caps. Sterling Silver Hooks – Length 2 1/2″
Ivory Pod Earrings
My lampwork beads in this earring pair measures 15x10mm. They are made with a base of black and dotted with ivory and grey suckers. Each sucker is made by placing dots of molten glass around the bead and then poking each one in the middle with a sharp tool while hot. After they were annealed […]
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 […]
Angkor Earrings
These earrings were handcrafted using turquoise beads, white glass beads, and silver filler beads. The drops were attached to the exotic looking frames with wire.
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 […]
Amber Charm Bracelet
This was one of the first pieces of jewellery I ever made. I had a pretty shell heart piece that I wanted to base my bracelet around and went from there. Using a variety of glass beads in amber, gold and brown shades I created a charm bracelet on antique chain. This is one of […]
Asymmetrical Silver Bracelet
I made this bracelet with a wealth of silver elements, some of which were made by me. I have added a unique half aqua and half silver glass rectangular connector. There is also a charm made with an aqua tiger’s eye stone, and the same stone can be found in a silver beadring near the […]
Electric Blue Bracelet
When I was a child in New Jersey my mother went through a phase where everything in our home was electric blue and chartreuse. This bracelet really brings me back to those times! The handmade glass beads are complimented nicely by the bright sterling silver chain, bells and clasps.
Nesting Bird Necklace
I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]
