Blue and Gold Necklace

The necklace consists of three strands of seed beads, E-beads, glass beads and silver coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. The earrings consist of the same elements, although the coils are much smaller.

Carnelian Lampglass Bracelet

This piece was constructed with lampwork glass beads, czech glass, Swarovski crystal, and silver spacer beads. The bracelet was finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Beaded Fabric Bookmark

This is a fun and creative gift for all occasions. What you will need: 2 – 10 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ scraps of heavy cotton fabric. I used apolstry samples. 1 – 9″ x 1″ piece of fabric bonding material – Sticth Witchery. 1 – 2″ piece of nylon cord. 14″ of 22 gauge sterling […]

Red Mayan Pendant Necklace

Memory wire was used. Beaded with black and red glass beads. The middle front has silver spacers. A round ring piece is connected with a split ring and beads and charms are connected to that with head and eye pins. I love red and this is one of my favourites in my collection!

Pretty In Yellow Tiger Eye Necklace

I was charmed by the warm color of this big semiprecious stone and thought of using it as a focal bead. To highlight its glow I placed at each side of it a metal bead in bright silver. The brown and yellow tones of tiger eye beads complement its rich yellow hue.

Winter Amethyst Necklace

Inspired by beautiful, snowy New England nights,this necklace is made of coin-shaped amethyst with white striation, dark amethyst rondelles, oval frosted moonstone beads, spun sterling silver oval beads, and a large rectangular piece of amethyst for a focal bead. Together they inspire the magic of snowflakes against a dark sky. The piece is strung on […]

Romance Necklace

This necklace is made of sterling silver chain with a centerpiece of genuine garnet set in sterling silver. The main design is made from sterling silver eyepins threaded with Swarovski montees and finished off with sterling wave chain and two Swarovski heart drops. I decided to make this design as I wanted something very different […]

Golden Cuff

My inspiration was exotic rock star glam. I love creating pieces that easily transition from day to evening. Being glamorous all day can be easy with great transitional pieces. I used 14kt gold-filled wire and textured chains to create this piece. For added detail and contrast, I introduced sterling silver textured chains. I also used […]

White And Green Coil Beads Necklace

I just purchased a coil gizmo, and went a little overboard creating coils. I knew I wanted to make a tiered or layer necklace, what I described to myself as a collar. I wanted each layer to more simple as the layers got smaller. The coils are a pristine white, the large beads are silver […]

Lucky Dice Necklace

This was the very first piece of proper jewellery I made. It was made for a friend who has her lucky number tattooed on her back in the form of two dice. I made it as a gift for her to celebrate her pregnancy. I used plated silver chain, head pins, eye pins, glass seed […]

Elegant Zebra Bracelet

The focal lampwork bead in this bracelet was made by me in my home studio in Pompano Beach, FL. of Italian soft glass and was designed to look like a zebra skin. The bracelet is accented by Swarovski crystal, czech glass, and sterling silver.

Brazen Necklace

I created this necklace by stringing African Blue stones, Blueberry glass, Bronzite, Czech Fire-polished bronze glass beads, and seed beads. This necklace is finished off with an antique silver lobster claw clasp.

Blue Lapis Filigree Snowflake Pendant Necklace

This beaded pendant necklace features blue lapis gemstones, jet Swarovski crytals, sterling silver Bali and a beautiful silvertone Snowflake Cut Filigree Metal Pendant. With a sterling silver clasp this necklace measures 18″. This necklace was inspired by snowflakes falling against the midnight sky. I also made coordinating beaded earrings which are on my website.

Sea Palling Iolite Necklace

For this piece I wanted intimate how the sea – beautiful but menacing – is threatening our coastline. Sea Palling is a village on the North Norfolk coast which is under threat from coastal erosion. I tried to capture both the beauty of the sea and the threat in this necklace of inky blue iolite […]

Double-strand DNA Necklace

When I saw a sample of stitching seed beads into the twisted rope called DNA, I had to try it. It’s pretty time-consuming, especially with small #11 seed beads. After many weeks of starting and stopping, this is the result. I added silver spacers, my favorite green triangular beads and a toggle clasp.

Carnelian Neck Collar

This has almost a full troy ounce of 20 gauge square sterling silver wire. It is wrapped with 20 gauge 1/2 round wire. The sterling silver is graced with a carved carnelian fan and tiny Hilltribe silver beads. The inspiration for this piece was the beautiful wrap around torque necklaces in medieval times. (Ed note: […]

Iona Prehnite and Amethyst Bracelet

Prehnite, amethyst and silver beaded bracelet. These beautiful pale green prehnite pebble beads are strung simply with small round amethyst beads and a contemporary silver plated toggle clasp. The bracelet was inspired by the lovely prehnite pebble beads, and some purple tulips that I bought recently. I love beads but i like things to be […]

Flame Necklace

As I work with an open flame I felt it was appropriate to create a necklace celebrating my passion. In this necklace my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones, and Japanese seed beads are finger woven together with my forged sterling silver pieces suggesting the lick of the flame.

Grass Koi Necklace

This necklace was made using Beadalon 49 strand flexible wire and was inspired by the idea of the lush green surroundings of a summer pond.

I’ve used gold and silver Bali spacer beads along with red glass berry beads to create an ending to connect the […]
