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 […]

Olive Jade And Queensland Agate Necklace

This necklace is made using round olive jade beads, cultured freshwater pearls and an unbelievable Queensland agate and olive jade pendant. This necklace’s leaf shaped sterling silver toggle clasp is just as beautiful. Necklace is strung on softflex .019 beading wire and is 20″ in length.

Faceted Crystal And Pearls Necklace

This is a very simple piece. Faceted flat top tear drop clear crystals are teamed up here with tiny fresh water pearls wrapped in sterling silver. The chain and clasp are sterling silver. The ‘pendant’ focal was strung onto a 22gauge sterling silver wire and attached to the sterling silver chain with jump rings.

Pearl & Sterling Treasure Necklace

This necklace reminds us of an oyster opening up, full of a pearly treasure! A sterling silver teardrop focal is hammered, textured and formed by hand, then oxidized and polished to bring out the gorgeous pattern. It is accented with peacock colored freshwater pearls, an almond twisted Swarovski pearl, and a single small white jade […]

Ms. Suge Sugilite Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the Suge Avery character from the movie, “The Color Purple”. It is made up of several layers of deeply etched brass tubes which reflect the troubled layers her character possessed. The faceted crystal stones, potato pearls, mother of pearl shell beads and amethyst chips creates a halo that enhances the […]

Goldie’s Garden Bracelet

I often get requests for birthday bracelets. I use the stones that correspond to the birth month and the individuals astrological sign. This piece was inspired by my girlfriends mother “Goldie” who is a lovely, lively, bubbly and happy go lucky lady! I used 24 gauge silver wire to string smokey quartz beads and a […]

Brown And Cream Freshwater Pearl Necklace

My love for chocolate inspired this piece. I made it with brown, copper, and creamy pink colored freshwater pearls that I wrapped with 14kt gold filled wire. I decided the Y-drop was the perfect accent for it. I then finished it off with a 14kt gold filled lobster clasp and some medium sized 14kt gold […]

Princess Net Necklace

This piece I worked long and hard on. I used imitation pearls and black seed beads, with tigertail wire and silver headpins. I saw a necklace in this style but with different colors and it was not as sassy. I saw the necklace as a challenge for me so I decided to look at it […]

Copper And Glass Pearl Necklace Set

This piece combines the earthiness of copper with the elegance of pearls. I created four cooper beads using 20 gauge copper wire (7″ pc.) hand wrapped into two sizes of swirls going in opposite directions with a loop in the middle for beading. One 8mm, several 4mm and 6mm white glass pearls as well as […]

Amazonite Necklace With Smoky Quartz And Pearls

This piece is made with antique brass, amazonite, smoky quartz and pearls. Blue and brown make a nice color combo, and amazonite and smoky quartz are two of my favorite gemstones, so I figured the two stones would look great in a necklace with a little bit of white thrown in somewhere. I took a […]

Pearl, Shell, Crystal & Cats Eye Necklace

This exquisite piece is the essence of summer. Warm, glittery and soft. It consists of four strands of bronze Swarovski pearls, golden shadow Swarovski crystals, cattlehead beige shell and taupe cat’s eye with a touch of brown bugle beads. Necklace is 18″ with 1″ sterling silver chain extender. Sterling silver hook clasp.

Oval Wire Wrapped Crystal Earrings

I wanted a soft look on this wire wrapped earrings so I used Swarovski crystals of aquamarine, light rose, and light sapphire. I also added pearls and mini handmade spirals to bring out the classy look of this pair of earrings.

Autumn Splendor Necklace

The centerpieces of this necklace are Tazwood cherry burl cabochons with subtle inlays of turquoise. They inspired me to create Autumn Splendor. I first beaded around the cabochons, and then with a netting technique and embroidery, blended two sizes of wooden round beads, six colors of seed beads in three different sizes, as well as […]

Violet Embroidered Fantasy Necklace

Bead embroidered cuff and necklace made from rough opals (polished by myself), charoite, amethyst, pearls, swarovski, silver beads, rainbow moonstone beads, purple jade, violet glass beads (roses) and Miyuki Delicas. For the base I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff and a blank brass collar and cuff. To make this whole set, including polishing the opals, takes […]

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!

Bead Embroidery Necktie Necklace

This necklace was made in crazy-quilt style with pearls, seed beads, and glass beads embroidered on cloth.

Orbital Rings Wire Wrapped Bracelet

I have wire wrapped some freshwater pearls in lime and spruce to this antiqued silver large round link chain. I have added some 4mm filigree antique silver beads as well for two reasons. One for a decorative touch and second to fill in the gap as the pearls were too small.

Purple and Blue Beaded Necklace

I used purple pearls, metal flowers, dark blue seed beads, and light blue crystals to make this piece. It has a lobster clasp set with crimp beads. I used wire, but beading thread can work too. String the beads in a pattern of two seed beads, then a purple pearl, then a blue crystal, then […]

Four Strings Dark Pearl Necklace

This necklace is made of pearls and onyx round flat beads. It consists of four strings of black, grey and blue pearls in different sizes which I separated with little metallic pony beads. I used round flat onyx beads here and there to connect the strings and to finish the necklace of. The clasp is […]
