Jewelry Ideas Using Gold, Page 5

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 […]

Goldie Beaded Bookmark

This beaded fish bookmark is one of the fish bookmark that I have made for my “Fish Fry Club” series. I wanted bright cheery colors to make the beaded bookmark pop and so for this beaded fish, I used shining glittering metallic coated Miyuki seed beads. I attached a Czech pressed glass leaf for the […]

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 […]

Heart Of Light Necklace

I created this piece from rainforest jasper (rhyolite) and carnelian, and 24k vermeil bali spacers. I was inspired by nature, the lush green of the rainforest, and the glow of an orange sunrise. I used silver-plated beading wire because I love the glow it creates within the carnelian beads. Gold filled twisted crimps, and a […]

Mountain Mist Necklace

I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]

Golden Rays Necklace Set

This necklace is suggestive of the warm, golden, sparkling rays of the sun. This piece is made with 6mm gold Swarovski pearls, 6mm round golden shadow Swarovski crystals and 4mm bicone golden shadow Swarovksi crystals. The dangles are made with sterling silver tubes and 4mm bicone golden shadow Swarovski crystals.

Key Lime Bracelet

This bracelet was my second project. It is made with enamelware starfish focal beads, Czech rounds, Swarovski rounds, bicones, cubes, squaredelles, geometric shaped beads, all separated by gold filled spacers and clasp. I used beading wire, gold filled crimps, and jump rings for the dangles. The color kiwi is my favorite and that is what […]

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.

Sunny Skies Earrings

I made these earrings with 2 large, genuine citrine faceted ovals and 2 smaller larimar blue lace agate ovals. Silver plated findings were used. I just love the golden,sunny color of the citrine stones. The inspiration for this piece was simply my love of citrine.

Long Black Brown Gemstone And Copper Necklace

This long sturdy necklace is very easy to make. It is the beauty off the beads that makes it. I put small onyx beads, long tube red jasper beads, golden brown rectangular mother of pearl beads, small dark orange carneol beads, golden brown freshwater pearls and a lot of red copper rings together on just […]

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 […]

Genuine Leaf Pendant And Earring Set

I love leaves! Fell in love with this pendant instantly and had to have it. It is a genuine leaf that has been set on coconut shell and coated in epoxy. I have added freshwater pearls and antique gold metal accents. I think even though the leaf is green that it is still a wonderful […]

Golden Arielle Bracelet

This bracelet is composed of cute little golden bows separated by bronze flowers. The flowers are arranged from fire polished beads and golden Japanese seeded beads. I used matte gold findings to top it off.

Asymmetrical Leather Necklace

This piece is made with navy blue goat leather (roll and circles) golden wood, resin and chain. I tried to make something very modern and different and the result was amazing. I loved it. I showed it in a Art Fair and it was a success. I sold it as the first place. The colour […]

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 […]

Turkish Twist Necklace

I love the variety of textures and colors available through twist necklaces but I also wanted a pendant to tie all of them together and give the piece a focal point. The Turkish eyes seemed perfect. There are five strands altogether: a strand of teal glass beads, a strand of blue seed beads, a strand […]

Green Aventurine With Gold Disk Earrings

I wanted to attempt something sculptural with these triangle shaped green aventurine beads. They are polished, but have a matte finish; so I used contrasting shiny 16k gold plated textured disks and 8mm carnelian beads to add color. I like the mix of the different shapes. It’s a bold unique design.

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.

Fall Colors Necklace

The turning leaves in fall inspired me to make this set. I used a gorgeous Garnet for a pendant, fire agate and Czech crystal, burnished gold balls and chain complete this beauty. It will go with almost all the colors of your wardrobe. The necklace is 20″ long, extendable to 22″. The Earrings dangle 1.5″.
