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 […]

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 […]

Hammered Aluminum Earrings

I started with a sheet of aluminum from the hardware store. I cut out 2 circles and filed the edges. Then I used a doming block to give it a nice dome shape. I hand painted them with acrylic paint and sprayed them with a sealer. I used a hole punch to add a hole […]

Turquoise Butterfly Necklace

This delicate turquoise necklace is accented with silver jump rings and complemented with a silver butterfly pendant. An intricate toggle clasp finishes the piece.

Dorian Necklace With Pendant

This necklace consists of golden plated beads, golden plated wire, turquoise beads, and a turquoise donut. The base is coiled around the beads and woven in a fan shape between the turquoise beads. The pendant is woven in a dorian style. I wove and coiled another turquoise bead in the lower part. The lace chain […]

Turquoise and Aqua Necklace

This 2 strand bead necklace weaves in and out of itself. It is strung with turquoise and aqua seed beads with metallic bronze and pressed glass beads.

Turquoise Mist Necklace

This necklace features 3 strands of silver glass seed beads that space a random pattern of turquoise briolettes, turquoise 4mm rounds, and quartz ovals. The clasp is a sterling silver toggle with delicate details. I was inspired by the briolettes when they were still on the strands that I bought them on and they were […]

The Krishna Indian Deity Necklace

My love for all things royal and majestic is never ending. When I receive a handmade pendant, something just runs through me and the feeling is heightened even more when I find the complimenting beads to uplift the pendant. The Krishna necklace is constructed on softflex wire for flexibility. I wanted something that would add […]

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 […]

Turquoise Nuggets Multistrand Bracelet

A Catapiller braclet woven with seed beads, turquoise, and agate.

Belle Azure Earrings

I like simple hoop earrings, but in creating my version, I wanted to tweak the simplicity of their design with an unexpected element. So I hand cut, fused and hammered bronze metal clay rings and hung turquoise gemstone beads off of them to add the extra edge and pop of color I was looking for.

Bird Family Amazonite Necklace

This is a necklace which tells a story about my family. Our house has a huge California Coastal Redwood tree which we love and is very much part of our life. I loved using amazonite chips because each chip had a slightly different color and a shape. They were perfect for capturing tree leaf effects. […]

Square Rounds Yellow Turquoise Necklace Set

This set is very geometric, as it is made with round, cube, and coin yellow turquoise beads. Four coins are made into squares for the pendant and earrings. Necklace is 17″ in length and the bracelet is 8″ with a magnetic clasp.

Terra Cotta & Turquoise Necklace

This necklace has a silver toggle that goes in front. Whenever I see someone wearing a necklace of this style, I always love the way it looks. This one consists of 4 mm terra cotta beads, turquoise stones, teal-colored “E” beads, short bugle beads in white, and silver wire coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. […]

Turquoise And Copper Vines Necklace Set

This set came to be because of a wedding commission. I wanted to practice the tiara with copper before going with silver, and then decided it would make a great choker! The stones are Turquoise briolettes that I wired together as flowers with a Mookaite center. The leaf accents are also Mookaite. I used multiple […]

Beaded Bead Three Strand Necklace

This necklace came about because I absolutely LOVE the size 11 seed bead mix I purchased at my local bead shop. I also learned to bead a bead, using these tiny beads. It’s very labor-intensive, but really worth it. The focal glass bead is beaded with these no. 11 beads, as well as four other […]

Woodland Brooch

I started off with some Lacey’s Stiff Stuff as the bead embroidery foundation. I dyed it to a suitable shade of black. I had a beautiful African turquoise cabochon which I had stashed away, waiting for the right moment of creativity to spark. I sewed different semi precious stones around the cabochon, choosing muted tones that would […]

Turquoise Twist Choker

This is my favorite piece. It’s a 3-strand choker, one strand large turquoise nuggets, and two strands of small nuggets. I used silver separators and a silver hook clasp at the end. This was a custom design for a friend. She wanted something different for a function and couldn’t find what she wanted in stores.

Antiqued gold cable chain and textured rings, amazonite faceted nuggets, bronze potato pearls and aged brass wire are wirewrapped together to form this necklace. An aged brass leaf charm, a turquoise Czech fluted flower with a Picasso finish, and a copper Swarovski crystal bicone dangle from the main ring. I formed and hammered brass wire […]
