Mae Necklace With Chrysocalla and Malachite

A strung piece made for my Chinese Malaysian mother-in-law for Christmas 08, this necklace incorporates Thai Silver seed pod beads and toggle, chrysocalla, and malachite chips. The Thai silver components were temporarily stranded in the Bangkok turmoil as the Christmas deadline loomed, so this one is fresh off the beading board – I hope my […]

A White Dream

I used pearls in diferent sizes, fish scales, mother of pearl, antique beads, and antique swade leaves. I embroidered all of this onto an antique piece of material. In the back I used a fine piece of bronze in the same shape, covered by grey velvet, and used some memory wire inside to help keep […]

Green Aventurine Pendant Necklace

I have been creatively thinking about how to dress up a plain donut pendant for weeks now and this weekend I finally came up with something new that I really liked that I have not ever seen done anywhere. I got so excited I made 4 new pendant necklaces – spent my entire Sunday making […]

Pink Teardrops Necklace Set

I needed to create more affordable jewelery for a flea market where the main customers were children and teenagers. So I designed a series of floating illusion necklaces with matching earrings. For this one I used glass beads in light- and fushia pink. For bling, I added small silver balls and seed beads with a […]

Hematite Cabochon Necklace

A dear friend gave me some hematite cabochons. Since I love to combine materials, I started looking for different once. I combined the hematite cabs with Swarovski pearl beads, freshwater pearls, different colors Miyuki seed beads, treasure beads, silver colored rings and spacers. I finished it all with three-way silver locker clasp.

Stole Pattern Beaded Necklace

This is a beautiful necklace and very simple to design. To make this necklace I took various kinds of beads mixes like glass beads, shells, uncuts, semi-precious, handmade marble glass beads, 4mm glass beads, 11/0 seed beads, bugle beads and some glass flowers. I made two strings of uncut chips, each separated by two black […]

Tools: 2 pairs of long nose pliers, chain cutter and round nose […]

Tristan Blue Quartz Necklace

This necklace has four strands. I used four large blue glitter quartz beads for the focal points, and surrounded them with small round blue quartz beads. The rest of the necklace is a mix of black onyx multi faceted beads and gray seed beads. I saw these beads at the bead store and the vision […]

Pearl Necklace

This necklace was designed with white glass based pearls, Swarovski deep blue crystals, teardrop glass based pearls, and sterling silver.

The upper part of the necklace is sky blue jade and the fringe is a gathering of freshwater Biwa pearls, glass pearls, Swarovski […]

Julie Necklace with Porcelain Jasper

This necklace features three unique strands that compliment each other. I like to layer my necklaces, which is a trendy new fad. I used the puffed coins of porcelain jasper as the inspiration for the color palette. I paired them with porcelain jasper rondelles, freshwater pearls, wooden wheel beads, and glass seed beads in a […]

Purple Swirl Wire Necklace

This piece started out as three hand-made lamp work beads. I had no idea what to do with them for over a month. One day I decided I was going to make something with them if it killed me. I had wanted to try a woven bail treatment and I thought this would be the […]

Matte Gold Necklace

This necklace is a nice combination of gold and brown. I started with a big link gold chain, then I attached a unique big toggle clasp in the same color. To finish I used small link chain to dangle three brown Murano style lampwork glass beads from the clasp.

Love Twists & Locks

This is a two in one piece necklace, with a diachromatic coloring pink and wine at the base. I used the wine color against the white to signify love and passion and the up and down nature of love. On the other side I used pink to signify the purity and gentleness that comes with […]

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 […]

Rose Swarovski Necklace

I am a huge fan of pearls, and I love to use them in many pieces. In this piece I combined a creme coin shaped pearl with 4mm rose Swarovski crystals and attached them to an 18 inch silver plated chain. I think they are a great combination!

This necklace is knit of cotton with a 2.5 inch pendant. Length is 23 inches. I love to crochet with soft yarns and create lovely shapes to adorn the neck or wrist. This one is crocheted from a #3 Cotton and has a large interesting pendant . I also like to use ties so the […]

Seahorse Beaded Necklace

This necklace was inspired by my love of the ocean. Abalone shell pendant with small brass seahorse charm adorns the front.
