Garden Romance Necklace

I love anything dainty and feminine. The pinks, reds, ribbons and rose beads bring that out in this piece. This necklace is very simplistic in construction. I fed rose gold rope chain to through the porcelain beads and the center focal bead, which is faceted carnelian agate. To keep the beads in place, 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.

Antique And Tortoise Bracelet

This bracelet is 7 1/2″ and strung on 5mm clear stretch cord. It consists of antique gold medallion charms, metal antiqued green long beads, tortoise shell glass beads, small round wooden beads, square antique gold spacer beads.

Patra’s Strut Egyptian Necklace

I love anything Egyptian. Some of the pieces I design will have a hint or full inspiration of this beautiful civilization. This bib-style necklace took just a little time to make as I did the measurements freehand. I wanted it to lay gradually with the focal point being the etched brass pendants with matte gold […]

Koala Scribbly Pendant

Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]

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 […]

Heart Of Gold Necklace and Bracelet

I made this necklace and bracelet set for my mother — gold is her favorite color. I wanted to make her something I knew she would really like, and as soon as I saw the heart-shaped glass beads with accents of gold and brown, I was totally inspired. I used gold colored beading wire and […]

Spring Love Earrings

To make these earrings I placed three mother of pearl beads in complimentary colors on gold-tone brass wire and formed a loop. I then fed the wire through the orange lace lentil beads. I wire wrapped one wire around the base of the second wire and formed a loop out of the other wire. In […]

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 […]

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 […]

Green Lariat Necklace

Black stones with green marbling are highlighted by lime green crystal & gold spacers. Gold chain hangs through the jade donut.

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 […]

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.

Knotted Pendant Necklace

The materials I used were small black beads and medium sized gold coated beads. I made it because a client needed a black and golden colored necklace for a party. I strung the necklace and made a knot for the pendant and butterfly like earrings. I just love the colour combination.

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. […]

Multi-coloured Tile Bracelet

I bought these tile beads but had no idea what I would do with them. I’ve been making what I call “eyepin bracelets” and thought that these tiles might look great linked in between two gold chains. I found some leftover Swarovski crystals that matched many of the colours in the tile beads. I’ve had […]

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 […]

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.

Blue Rain Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using African cream disk trade beads, cream coral beads, and West African lost wax brass beads (basket shape). To add color to this piece I’ve added blue turquoise beads and antique gold Bali style spacers. Completing the necklace is a 22mm oxidized copper ring as the toggle clasp. This necklace measures […]

Frozen Summer

This is the first time I’ve worked with sterling silver. I designed a pendant, and while I was working, more ideas came to mind. I had no idea that you needed so many different techniques and materials in working with silver, but I loved it. The stone inside is a blue Goldstone, lovely. It looks […]
