Jewelry Ideas Using Glass, Page 12

Winter Grass Necklace

I have used my own hand rolled paper beads with glass and Chinese nephrite to create this truly unique and unusual neck adornment! There are two different types of paper beads used: rolled magazine and sponge painted construction paper cylinder beads. Both types are clear coated with glossy polyurethane for added durablity.

Embroidered Floral Bracelet

I embroidered on canvas with seed beads, bugle beads, and glass beads in complementary blue tones. I then lined the canvas with leather.

Fringe Galore Pendant Necklace

This pendant uses a 25 x 30mm snowflake obsidian cabochon. It is hand beaded with 1 row silver seed beads, 1/2 row of 2mm onyx beads, bali silver lace tubes going into 24 graduated/alternating rows of black glass triangle seed beads/gunmetal gray seed beads with matte glass black daggers/sterling daggers. Several loops of black seed […]

Citrus Choker

This 3-strand choker reminds me of a fruity salad. There’s a strand of red coral round beads, a stand of green peridot beads and a strand of orange carnelian beads all connected with 3-hole metal spacers. The 3″ drop has a large dark green glass teardrop at the end. I also made a bracelet that […]

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.

Diamond Drop Choker

Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.

Horn, Wood & Glass Bead Necklace

The necklace is handcrafted from horn, wood beads, tiger’s eye beads, crazy lace agate beads, glass beads, silk cord, and is finished with a copper hook and eye clasp. It makes a bold statement and is approximately 26 inches long.

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!

Summer Anemone

A sunny orange flower design captured in a clear glass bubble surrounded by glass cats eye beads. I was simply inspired by the vibrant colours of summer!

Marigold Splash Bracelet

This bracelet is made of crystal cube beads, oval cut Aurora Borealis crystal beads, Czech seed beads, crystal and yellow cut round glass beads, white seed bead spacers and a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Hanukkah Bracelet

This 8″ bracelet is done with silver stardust beads, blue cat’s eye, white glass pearls and aurora borealis crystal beads. It has a pewter Star of David charm hanging at the clasp.

Rainbow Bracelet

This bracelet is made with faceted glass beads woven together with fire line. I have used a large 8mm glass bead to hold the bracelet together. This piece is for my step daughter Charlotte who likes to wear pastel clothes and pretty things so hopefully this will compliment a variety of outfits!

Goddess Pendant Necklace

This 21″ necklace is made using 16ga copper wire, some really nice matte glass beads, and some African trade beads from Ghana. The 4″ bone goddess hangs between two fluted brass beads. I like this necklace for it’s “earthy” feel. The African trade beads were acquired at a flea market where I came upon a […]

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.

Shell And Amethyst Necklace In Blue and Purple

I made this necklace on only one metal string from purple, blue and sea-green shell beads, amethyst beads and glass beads. It was finished with a nice Tibetan silver toggle clasp and 2 shrink beads. I especially like the combination of the square and round forms and the bright colors which remind me of sea […]

Raspberry Ripple Bracelet

I made this bracelet as I simply like the colour of the glass seed beads. I wanted to use the beads as the main material for the bracelet rather than use them as a connection or surround for larger beads. I used fire line to weave the beads together and 3mm faceted glass beads in […]

Mystery Of China Necklace

First I made some different size peyote stitch beads with nylon thread. Then I made one rose from organza and one of iron thread. I then constructed it, using different glass beads between the larger components.

Ivory & Kronos Silver Core Bead

First, I made the bead from Italian and American glass on a large mandrel, making the bead hole 3/8″ in size. After it is run annealed, I cut a length of sterling silver tubing just a bit longer than the width of the bead. I hammer at both ends of the tubing until they flare. […]
