Autumn Leaves Bracelet
This bracelet is made using 14kt gold filled wire and lots of little glass beads left over from other projects. I twisted some curlicues, wired up some beads and hung them on the curlicues. I also made the simple hook and eye clasp from 14kt gold filled wire. This one twinkles, it is one of […]
Sweet Nectar Earrings
These earrings are very simple in both style and construction. First I hand wire wrapped gold vermiel wire around medium sized light salmon faceted Chinese crystal briolette beads. Then I attached them to pendants that depicts a hummingbird receiving it’s daily nourishment; nectar from a beautiful flower. I knew that the frames needed to stand […]
Lampwork Bead Ring
This ring was born from the disaster of another project. My beautiful lampwork bead split in half. I just couldn’t throw it away, and so decided to use it as a cab in a ring project that I was planning. The wire used in this project is 22ga gold filled square and 21ga gold filled […]
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. […]
Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set
Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.
Beaded Gold Heart Necklace
Hearts don’t have to be pink! This unique necklace was designed with a stunning large gold heart focal glass bead that has a black and cream swirl design. I added gold foiled glass seed beads, matching yellow crystals and black Swarovski Crystals along with gold plated nugget beads.
Maharani’s Pendant
“Maharani” means “Queen” in India. I call it a Maharani’s pendant because it reminds me of designs worn by the Rajput clan royalty of the olden days from India. I have used 14k gold filled wire to sculpt an 8.20 carat weight of genuine Citrine stone. I have also added a 6mm genuine round Citrine […]
Porcelain With Blues Neckace
I love the delicacy of patterns found in porcelain beads. This piece is longer–strung on 6 strands of 20 inches of tiger tail, 3 strands on each side. I wove seed beads in shades of blue, green and gold are together with electric blue glass beads and porcelain beads, (rounds as well as cylindrical beads). […]
Red Sea Pearls Necklace
The Lady Set was created with red sea pearls, dalmatian beads (10mm), plated gold beads (4mm), and plated gold toggle clasp. Attach a crimp bead, then one end of the toggle clasp. Crimp with crimper, string four gold plated beads, then a dalmatian bead, gold bead and red sea pearl. Continue to follow the design […]
Funky Fringe Beadwoven Bracelet
I absolutely love this funky piece! The pattern on the beadwoven part is my own, and I’ve used it in several other bracelets. This bracelet has a slinky & flexable feel to it. It has a button clasp. I used size 11 delica beads in matte white, golden & black. For the fringe I used […]
The Golden Empress Necklace
This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.
Have A Green Day Bracelet
I used all green, white, black glass luster beads, with some gold colored seed beads strung on memory wire coil. I added one charm on each end of the memory wire coil. I loved the colors of the beads and the colors inspired me to make the bracelet.
Carnelian Earrings
Carnelian is a beautiful stone! It goes perfectly with copper. Beneath a copper metal connector I hung a gold glass cube, a copper cube, a faceted fire polished amber colored bead and a polished oval carnelian. The colors complement each other beautifully. The beads are strong on decorative headpins and the earrings hang from sterling […]
Just Beachy Sea Glass Bracelet
After finding these perfectly round, vintage sea glass beads while shopping for supplies, I knew I had to incorporate them into a fun jewelry design for the summer. Because of their size (12mm), I immediately thought of a bracelet. To enhance the colors of the beads, I created a simple color pattern, detailed with just […]
Citrus Delight
The inspiration for this piece was a large, green, carved jade pendant. I’ve been trying for a while to use this pendant in a simple but elegant setting. Done in shades of gold, orange and bright spring green, this necklace uses chunky millefiori beads surrounded by gold-plated hoops. The smaller round green beads are glass […]
Make Love Not War Earrings
Yes, I know… the 60’s are over. But some might say that the era represented not just a time but a mindset… and couldn’t we use a little 60’s mindset right now? I know *I* could. I bought these little stamped brass flower charms awhile ago and the first incarnation featured small blackstone rondelles. This […]
Chrysoprase And Fuchsia Jade Earrings
I wanted to use golden ear wires, but chunky ones rather than the traditional thin gold ones, so I decided to use solid brass. I took thick brass wire and hand formed it into the ear wires, hammered them first flat and then with a specialist hammer to create the texture. I then added small […]
Summer Blossoms Bracelet
Different shades of pink and green beads were all individually twisted onto a chunky gold tone chain. Beads range in size from tiny 4mm Swarovski crystals to 12mm coloured faux pearls. Chain has large 10mm links joins with a lobster clasp and measures 19cms.
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 […]
Peace + Beads = Happiness
I found this brown brand resin pendant on a shopping trip and couldn’t wait to use it. I love working with earth tones and this pendant gave me the perfect opportunity to mix it up! I used a one leather cord, green and gold glass beads, brown branch resin pendant, a small flower charm and […]
