Caribbean Sea
This necklace is made with a hand crafted polymer clay pendant in shades of turquoise and blue. (The focal bead is an artists designer bead and has been created in an artists studio in the U.S.A. The bead is totally unique and original, even more beautiful in real life. It’s 3.3cm x 2.5cm). The necklace […]
Agate Wire Pendant
This pendant is made of Agate Semi-precious stone with non-tarnish Silver Artistic wire.
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 […]
Tigers Eye And Picture Jasper Choker
This piece is a 18 inch choker with two strands closely intertwined. The first strand has tiger’s eye stones and picture jasper beads with the second strand of gold colored seed beads wrapped around the picture jasper beads. Brown glass and copper-tinted spacers are mixed in with the other beads to complete the piece. All […]
Swirl Pearls Pendant
I used wire wrapping in the construction of this pendant. I started by shaping the wire in a swirl shape and then started attaching the beads to it using freshwater creme pearls and 6mm purple bicone beads. Then, I finished it by a wire wrapped purple briolette. A silver tone chain is attached.
Jaffa Necklace
This necklace was inspired by the artisan crafted lampwork beads. The leopard fire agate, fossil coral focal, autumn jasper and bronzite all compliment the colors in the lampwork beads. I strung the necklace on accuflex wire and then finished it with an antique silver hook and eye clasp. The beads and gemstones are separated and […]

Added to this are topaz Czech faceted glass rounds, amber Czech glass rounds, faceted resin rondelles and some silver plated Bali-like beads caps and spacer beads to finish. The seed beads are foil lined dark brown and clear cream, the bugle beads are a […]
Irises
I used a variety of ceramic beads, ornate brass spacer beads and toggle clasp. They were strung on strong bead wire to hold the weight. I found the beads in 3 different bead stores over the course of several months. I was inspired by the painting “Irises” by Van Gogh that I had the great […]
Turquoise And Coral Dream
A friend of mine had imagined a piece like this for years, but could never find a ready-made one. She asked me to create her “dream” necklace. After a week of emails and questions, I visited my favorite bead shop and found 15mm coral beads, 4mm turquoise beads and a huge 45mm turquoise go-go to […]
Blue Quartz And Blue Opal Multistrand Necklace
For this 3-strand necklace I started with the faceted oval 10x14mm blue opal stones and added cube-shaped blue opals with light turquoise and darker foiled turquoise colored seed beads. The three strands are 18 1/2″, 20 1/2″ and 21″ in length (including the clasp). The clasp is a metal 3-strand hook with little flowers for […]
A Mothers Love Necklace
The inspiration for these piece is my mother who sadly passed away at the beginning of this year (2006). I utilized a puffed sterling silver heart as the focal to represent my love for mom. Swarovski crystals in ruby which is my mothers birthstone and the creamy beige pearls which were my mother’s which I […]
Copper Explosion Necklace
This piece is made by stringing the larger green and brown beads on stringing wire and then threading string wire through those beads and stringing the copper colored beads on the end. Everything is held in place with crimp beads. There are three strands of wire for the necklace. The strands are braided together to […]
Pink Lemonade With Mint Necklace
This was my very first attempt at hand knotting beads. I was so nervous but had to try it. I loved the beautiful contrast that the color salmon has against turquoise. So, with this piece, I hand knotted polished round volcano cherry quartz agate & a stabilized oval turquoise bead on white nylon/silk thread for […]
Tibetan Colors Necklace
I found the center bead at the local bead shop in my college town. The bead inspired me to make a necklace similar to the necklaces traditionally worn by Tibetans. In general, the necklaces are rather large so I simplified mine to a size that fits my style. The materials used in the necklace were […]
Marshmallow Turquoise And Chain Necklace
For this necklace I used round marshmallow turquoise beads, cultured freshwater pearls, and sterling silver chain. The beads are strung on .019 softflex and then crimped onto the chain. I used a round hammered toggle clasp which is wire wrapped to a pearl and then the chain. I love how the pearls work with the […]
Coral Blues Necklace
The inspiration for this piece comes from the coral reefs, which to me is a beautiful harmonious blend of colour. I used American turquoise and pink salmon semi-precious beads for this necklace. For the centrepiece, individual beads were suspended on hand-made sterling silver head pins which were then strung unto beading wire. To finish off […]
Ocean Treasures Beadwork Necklace
This necklace represents my love of the ocean and the beach. It began with a handmade lampwork cabochon which I surrounded with several colors of seed beads, glass pearls and Swarovski crystals. The upper part of the necklace is sky blue jade and the fringe is a gathering of freshwater Biwa pearls, glass pearls, Swarovski […]

A beautiful goddess in pinks and copper. I embroidered her with copper iris colored glass beads, with bits and pieces from other jewelry parts for her crown which has a fabric pink flower rosette and mother of pearl. Inside is black felt and back is black leather. The same coordinating beads around the edges. Pink […]
Brass Circles Necklace
This has been a work in progress for a while – the links and pendant were a natural pairing – the strung portion took a while of thinking to find the right solution. The circles are brushed aged brass, and the transparent pendant bead and matching nugget beads are raku glass. The strung portion is […]
