Coral Blues Necklace

The inspiration for this piece comes from the coral reefs, which to me is a beautiful harmonious blend of colour. I used American turquoise and pink salmon semi-precious beads for this necklace. For the centrepiece, individual beads were suspended on hand-made sterling silver head pins which were then strung unto beading wire. To finish off […]

Tranquility Ocean Jasper Bracelet

The focal beads used in this piece are ocean jasper. I absolutely love this stone and had to create something with it right away. The blues and greens go very well with the aquamarine rounds and jade chips. I’ve also incorporated various Bali bead spacers as well as hand-formed sterling silver beads. This bracelet was […]

Smoke Stack Earrings

These earrings were created using smokey quartz nuggets, silver plated chain and diasy spacers, smokey quartz rondelles, and sterling silver fishhook earwires.

Navajo Mix Set

I picked up some size 6 beads in this color mix called “Navajo” and was inspired to make myself a necklace and matching earrings. I also used various stones from a mixed set, silver spacers and bead caps and metallic copper seed beads. I made the earrings by threading seed beads with the size 6 […]

Cotton Candy Necklace

I love pink and I wanted to make a necklace using pink glass beads. So when I finally found the right color pink glass beads I used them to make this piece which I named after cotton candy. The white beads are acrylic, the pink beads are glass, and there are silver toned spacers used […]

Onyx And Crystal Bracelet

This bracelet is made with beautiful faceted onyx beads and Swarovski crystals. This bracelet ends using a heart shaped sterling silver toggle clasp. Bracelet is 8″ in length.

Antiqued Copper Pearl Necklace

This necklace was designed with 7-8mm antiqued golden copper freshwater cultured pearls. I separated each pearl with small clear glass seed beads. Chrysolite Swarovski Austrian crystals and sterling silver beads are also used to design this necklace. The large pendant measures 2″x2″ and features colors of frosted amber/copper with hints of green. I finished this […]

Olive Jade And Queensland Agate Necklace

This necklace is made using round olive jade beads, cultured freshwater pearls and an unbelievable Queensland agate and olive jade pendant. This necklace’s leaf shaped sterling silver toggle clasp is just as beautiful. Necklace is strung on softflex .019 beading wire and is 20″ in length.

Amber Double Strand Pendant Necklace

This longer length necklace set is made with lots of amber Czech pressed glass beads, some amber lampwork rounds and lots of silver coloured metal Bali-like beads to finish. The seed beads used are foil lined amber as are the bugle beads. All mounted on nylon cords and silver plated wire. Fastening to the back […]

Blue Mother Of Pearls With Opals Necklace

My favorite summer vacation destination is Hawaii. I just love the color of Hawaiian ocean and that is what I tried to capture with this necklace. For calm ocean, I used different sizes of mother of pearl flat shape beads with round shape one. I used opal round beads, roundelles and bicones as well as […]

Black & Silver Charrm Bracelet

The insperation for this bracelet came from me not really liking frilly things, like charm bracelets. This bracelet, made with large acrylic beads connected with 2 chain-links filled with small charms, was the solution to my problem.

Purple Jade and Turquoise Necklace With Carved Rose

The beads in this necklace are purple jade and turquoise. The pendant is a carved purple jade rose. It is 26 inches and finished with a sterling silver lobster claw clasp.

Amber Web And Heart Necklace

The seed beads used are foil lined gold, the bugle beads are foil lined amber/topaz. The beads are mounted on nylon cord and silver plated wire, and fastened in the back […]

Northwest Rain Drop Earrings

Living in the northwest, I see a lot of rain. I wanted to show the positive side of all the rain with these cute little earrings. I used aqua blue briolettes, flowers in Tibetan silver, and fancy earwires. They were very inexpensive to make. They show you can make something beautiful without spending a fortune.

Chain Strands Bracelet

In this piece, I worked with chains to create a modern, contemporary look. I started by attaching round, square, and oval antique silver charms to a shiny silver chain, then repeated the steps creating four strands. I finished the bracelet with a toggle clasp.

Bedrock Bracelet

Having bought a bundle of wonderful bright and somewhat crazy colored lamp work nuggets from blueseraphim (on Etsy), I decided that red coral chips and a bali silver toggle with red tigertail might be a great balance to show off the unusual shapes – I am very happy with the simplicity of the bracelet and […]

Starry Night Beaded Necklace

I consider simple necklaces very beautiful. When I made this one I used a combination of dark blue semi-precious sodalite and golden Czech crystal glass beads. The colors remind me of a night sky with golden stars. I made the pendant by wrapping sterling silver wire and a few beads around the main sodalite bead. […]

Chandelier Earrings in Black and Silver

The “chandelier” pieces in this design are actually elaborate bead caps taken from a Christmas tree ornament! I love to use findings in unusual and unexpected ways. When I found these sterling silver bead caps (at least that is what I think they are supposed to be) at a garage sale I picked them up […]

Indian Agate Pendant

This pendant is a natural Indian Agate Stone wrapped with sterling silver half-round wire. When I wrap natural stones, I allow the stone to determine the wrapping. I try to compliment the stone with the style of wrapping that will allow the stone to shine and become a complete accent piece with the wire wrapping.
