Jewelry Ideas Using Turquoise, Page 3

Turquoise And Brown Bracelet

I made this for my sis who loves the combination of turquoise and brown. This is my first beading project and she loved it. I used strechy cord and a collection of assorted beads from Darice for this. I secured the cord with two knots and an overhand knot. I used Hypo cement to secure […]

Mix and Match Reversible Beaded Necklace

I had a few larger beads and I did not know what to use them for (my necklaces are usually more delicate). One day the inspiration came in a store catalog–the idea of combining one strand of large beads and six strands of small beads. It is wearable top side down or up. It can […]

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.

Nesting Bird Necklace

I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]

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 […]

Three-strand necklace with stone pendant

The strands consist of copper-tone and magenta seed beads, turquoise beads, silver spacers, E-beads, and my favorite green triangular beads. I approached this necklace like I sometimes approach a quilt project–what “scraps” do I have sitting around?

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 […]

Green Goddess Earring

These are soooo glamorous, a lightweight but eye catching long pair of earrings, great for a special ball or gala occasion. The hoop earwires and heart shaped chandelier hangers are shaped and hammered from wire. At the top hangs a chrysophase mini nugget, next swing the gold heart shapes from fine chain. Under the hearts […]

Vintage Garden Necklace

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 […]

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 […]

Long Colours Necklace

This necklace is made from handmade rope and tassel, turquoise stones, pebblestones, shell, wood beads, and metal wire.

Turquoise Beaded Footlet

I used turquoise waxed cord, millefiori beads, small yellow plastic beads and a turkish blue eye. the closing knot that is around your heel can be adjusted to your foot size. My inspiration for my anklets collection was a French woman who used that style. Then I tried it myself, but with other materials and […]

Ne-zhoni Toh-yi-kal

Pretty Tears (Ne-Zhoni Toh-Yi-Kal) jewelry set consists of a 27″ Necklace, 7 1/2 bracelet and 3″ drop earrings. My materials are torquoise bead nuggets, ovals, chips and a 22mm focal bead, and contrasted with buffalo bone beads. All accent beads are gold plated, and I use a stainless coated wire to prevent corrosion and add […]

Carnelian And Turquoise Necklace

I use to shy away from turquoise only because of the way the pieces were set. They were all the same. It is such a beautiful stone and such a compliment to many other stones, I couldn’t help myself. This combination reminds me of a sunset walk on the beach, cool waves and warm skies. […]

Hawaiian Bridesmaid Necklace

This set is made from chunky turquoise and orange coral pieces strung on 24k gold wire and gold fittings. I made and wore this necklace as the maid of honor for my friend’s wedding in Hawaii.
