I am a stay-at-home mom and I have been beading jewelry for over 10 years now. I finally got my stuff up on etsy.com and am really excited. I love all crafts but jewelry is my favorite! I get inspired by a color or a particular bead and then I go from there.

Blue Quartz And Blue Opal Multistrand Necklace Project

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 […]

Carnelian Earrings Project

Carnelian Earrings

Carnelian is a beautiful stone! It goes perfectly with copper. Beneath a copper metal connector I hung a gold glass cube, a copper cube, a faceted fire polished amber colored bead and a polished oval carnelian. The colors complement each other beautifully. The beads are strong on decorative headpins and the earrings hang from sterling […]

Hanging on sterling silver ear hooks are large, faceted, pale yellow, honey jade rectangular stones measuring 11x17mm. The stones are strung on headpins which are attached to silver colored chain. The whole earring dangles about 2 1/2″ from top to bottom. They are simple but still elegant!

These 10x14mm oval blue quartz beads are faceted to give them some sparkle. Hung from the sterling silver French earwires with a copper headpin and a faceted glass bead gives it a little extra detail. They measure almost 1 3/4″ from top to bottom.

Flower Labradorite Leaves Bracelet Project

The leaf-cut labradorite stones have a lot of beautiful blue flash with black faceted Swarovski crystal spacers and faux grey pearls. Strung on beading wire, measures about […]

Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace Project

Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace

My inspiration for this necklace were these large 12x18mm blue agate beads. They are like a cool faceted barrel. I wanted the blue to stand out so I added the leaf-cut labradorite beads with the blue flash to match the blue in the agate. In between each labradorite are 2 glass beads and a clear […]
