Jewelry Ideas Using Silver, Page 16

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. The fish pendant is Hill Tribe Thai silver, and the beads are vintage West German Givre glass, Swarovski crystal, Delica seed beads, Czech glass, and celery colored freshwater pearls. The […]

Chunky Glass Necklace

I’ve created this necklace using 20mm gold and red gold and red glass silver foil lampwork rectangle beads. A large 25mm by 25mm sterling silver heart dangles as a focal point on this necklace. I’ve used gold and silver Bali spacer beads along with red glass berry beads to create an ending to connect the […]

Elegance Necklace

This necklace is strung on wire with white glass seed beads, brown, yellow and clear crystal 6mm bicones, with a silver plated toggle closure. My inspiration for this piece was simply to try to match a brown, white & black stripe shirt that I have. I think it gives a great business look for the […]

Bluesy Lampwork Pendant

These lampwork beads were the first in my series of two-two beads featuring an opaque half and a transparent half of the same color. I have made these glass beads from moretti/effetre glass with a trail of fine silver melted through the middle. Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents finish off the pendant.

Moss Agate Circle Gemstone Beaded Necklace

This piece consists of a moss agate circle pendant, accented by a sterling silver flower charm, wire wrapped to a strand of watermelon tourmaline gemstones.

Goddess Necklace

This is a long necklace, that has a romantic touch to it. It is made up of light green foil glass twists, faceted clear glass beads, jade, glass pearls, Tibetan silver, seed beads and a gorgeous goddess bead to finish it off. The twirl on the end is sterling silver wire.

Teal & Silver Swirls Necklace

Made with a very pretty (3.8cm, domed with flat back) hand crafted swirled clay pendant that has a glittery finish to it, some silver plated solid metal beads and some very small sterling silver square cut spacers to finish. The silver swirl detailing is made with silver plated wire. The seed beads used are foil […]

Gypsy Garden Earrings

I like to think of myself as a little bit gypsy, and that inspired these earrings. I used sterling silver, which I dipped in liver of sulfur before construction to give it a nice patina finish. I used purple, red, and topaz Swarovski crystals for the beads. These earrings hang 3.25″.
