Rachel King

Hi! I'm Rachel King from sunny Florida and I love making jewelry. I started about a year ago when my mom bought beads and all the accessories and somehow manipulated me into making all her jewelry! I fell in love with it immediately. I manage a self-storage facility and have tons of time on my hands to create beautiful pieces.

I enjoy working with wire more than anything else, the possibilities are endless in this form. I also use hemp and leather, and the classic clear string that looks like fishing line. I mostly design for friends and family, but have recently started selling at local flea markets and craft shows. I also have a portfolio allowing customers to select the colors and styles they want for completely custom designed pieces, called Uniquely Yours, which will soon be coming to the World Wide Web.

Diamond Drop Choker Project

Diamond Drop Choker

Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.
