Jewelry Ideas Using Pearls, Page 3

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 […]

Lillyana Bracelet

I have been making lampwork beads for a while and decided that this flower focal would look good with pearls. I used sterling silver findings and a hill tribe silver heart, just to add a bit more romance to it. It suited a double strand bracelet, due to the size of the bead.

Bohemian Beaded Cuff

Memory wire bracelet incorporating freshwater pearls, mother of pearl beads, glass beads, handmade fabric beads, and a bead embroidery panel. I wanted to create a fun, easy to wear piece with an eclectic feel.

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.

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 […]

Potato Pearl Bracelet

This bracelet was one of a few designs I made to show a friend for gifts at her wedding. This bracelet used white potato pearls enclosed in bali bead caps with tube spacers in between. Next to each bead cap is a bicone clear Swarovski crystal. The end crimps are covered with crimp bead covers […]

Treasures In The Woods Beadded Cuff

I love to combine different materials and colours in jewelry. So this bracelet is made with Fimo cabochons, pearls, lucite flowers and of course Swarovski. The beads are beaded on stiff stuff, with a cuff within. I got my inspiration when I saw the cabochons. Suddenly I got a picture in my head of walking […]

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 […]

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 […]

Seahorse Necklace

I made this Seahorse necklace for a contest in the Netherlands with a Fantasty theme. Its partly beaded on stiff stuff, with ultra-suede on the back. I used a lot of miuyki rocailles in different sizes, vintage brass flowers and freshwaterpearls. On the left side are the waves of the water, the right side are […]

Pink Champagne Necklace Set

Made with pink glass pearls and champagne freshwater pearls, this necklace set also has rose quartz beads and large ocean jasper beads with pink swirls. There are gold metal spacers and a flower toggle clasp. The necklace is 17″ in length and bracelet is 8.5″.

Vintage Treasures Necklace

This necklace is one of a kind. It reminds me of something you would find in a treasure box. The large beads are all vintage. The necklace also contains glass pearls in almond and black, copper Czech glass beads, snowflake obsidian, hematite, and textured circles. I put each individual bead on wire and linked them […]

Golden Ambition Bracelet

This bracelet was created with an off loom beadweaving technique using golden glass seed beads, embellished with semi-precious carnelian and blue freshwater pearls. As a healing stone, carnelian is believed to be a stone of ambition and drive. It protects the user from negative emotions and inspires positive courageous confidence.

Saturn Pendant

I wanted to use this lovely glowing Chalcedony bead as a pendant, but it really needed some added interest and color. I hand formed the ring/frame out of thick 18g wire in roughly a similar yet different shape to the gemstone. I then hammered it and used 28g soft copper wire to wrap it with […]

Natural Shell And Mother Of Pearl Earrings

For these earrings I used ocean theme materials: natural shells, white mother of pearl beads, and pink mother of pearl flat beads. The inspiration came from a Mikimoto picture which was showing a pearl being extracted from an akoya pearl oyster. Trying to capture that image, I have used natural shells to represent akoya pearl […]

Blue Mother Of Pearls With Opals Necklace

My favorite summer vacation destination is Hawaii. I just love the color of Hawaiian ocean and that is what I tried to capture with this necklace. For calm ocean, I used different sizes of mother of pearl flat shape beads with round shape one. I used opal round beads, roundelles and bicones as well as […]

Futuristic Jewelry Set

I love wirework, and this piece is designed using simple wire wrapping techniques. You can make this with seed beads as the base or just chain. I made mine with Swarovski bicone size 6 in clear. I then made the dangles with Bali silver beads, pearls in grey and recycled glass beads I made from […]

Aaliyah Matti Necklace Set

The name and inspiration for this necklace set was derived from my late grandmother and favorite singer, the late Aaliyah. The beauty of this set just reminded me of their beauty. I worked with beautifully glowing faceted Peruvian blue chalcedony briolette beads and iridescent peach puff coin freshwater pearls. I strung the beads onto gold […]

Worlds Of Pearls

I used eye pins and pearls of all sizes to create this piece. My niece really loves pearls and this inspired me to create a necklace just for her. I also completed this piece with a pearl clasp for that last neck loop that would not quite fit over your head.

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 […]
