Turquoise and Aqua Necklace

This 2 strand bead necklace weaves in and out of itself. It is strung with turquoise and aqua seed beads with metallic bronze and pressed glass beads.

I was thinking of a book from my childhood. It was about this little African boy and his adventures. All the girls in the pictures wore anklets made with beads and large teeth! The long green glass beads reminded me of those teeth and the bright green color evokes a bit of a jungle feel. […]

Just Beachy Sea Glass Bracelet

After finding these perfectly round, vintage sea glass beads while shopping for supplies, I knew I had to incorporate them into a fun jewelry design for the summer. Because of their size (12mm), I immediately thought of a bracelet. To enhance the colors of the beads, I created a simple color pattern, detailed with just […]

Sunset Crocheted Wire Necklace

This necklace was crocheted with 26 gauge colored copper wire and dyed glass chips. I love color and that is always my inspiration.

Victorian Elegance Bracelet

The body of the bracelet is made in odd count peyote in angled stripes of various size 11 delica beads, with the main color being black. All the thread used throughout is Nymo. Then I went back around and created a variable sized picot stitch in black size 15 rocailles with 4 mm and 3 […]

Evening Delight Fringe Choker

This fringe choker was designed for my daughter’s prom party. She had picked a gorgeous pink silk gown with embroidered gold beads–I used glass seed beads to match.

Cobalt Lampwork Bead Bracelet

I made this bracelet with handmade lampwork beads. Lampwork beads are made by melting narrow rods of glass by hand over an open flame (usually a torch). The glass is wrapped around a thin metal rod (a mandrel), which later becomes the hole through the bead. Many effects can be achieved through using various colors […]

Black Oil Necklace

This necklace consists of Swarovski crystals and pearls, Czech glass and very unique focal beads. Tiger tail wire was used to string the beads. I have also used antique gold bead caps to accentuate some of the glass beads. The necklace has an antique gold J clasp with a baroque style. The Swarovski crystal colors […]

Jungle Fever Necklace

Translucent green glass round beads on brass wire, Vintaj brass hook and eye clasp and Vintaj brass leaf pendant. I love using brass in my jewelry. It’s a look that you don’t always see around.

Fly Away Home Charm Bracelet

This bracelet features Vintaj brass etched ring, findings, bird charm and swirl clasp. Various semi-precious stones(fluorite), czech glass, and swarovski crystals were used to flush out this wire bracelet.

Brass Circles Necklace

This has been a work in progress for a while – the links and pendant were a natural pairing – the strung portion took a while of thinking to find the right solution. The circles are brushed aged brass, and the transparent pendant bead and matching nugget beads are raku glass. The strung portion is […]

Cool Blues Necklace

I started with cool blue lampwork glass beads with foil detail stripes and added blue lampwork glass cubes to accompany them. The sequence is suspended from a double cotton thong and completed with a silver plated toggle clasp. I live a short ride from the North Sea and this was the inspiration for this piece–the […]

Hammered Brass Disc Earrings

Antiqued brass donut / disc beads are the main feature of these earrings. Wire-wrapped dangles with green Czech fire-polished glass beads provide movement and contrast. It’s a simple design but striking, and the oxidation gives them an vintage look.

Golden Ambition Bracelet

This bracelet was created with an off loom beadweaving technique using golden glass seed beads, embellished with semi-precious carnelian and blue freshwater pearls. As a healing stone, carnelian is believed to be a stone of ambition and drive. It protects the user from negative emotions and inspires positive courageous confidence.

Treasure Box Necklace Set

The inspiration for this set was the antique gold finish filigree pieces that seem to have a charm all their own. I connected the filigree pieces with jump rings, strung deep red, small glass disks, garnet and lime Swarovski crystals onto olive colored beading wire, and repeated the process to add more filigree pieces and […]

Crystal Floral Beaded Necklace

This beaded necklace was designed with smoked topaz (brown) Swarovski crystals, brown fossil beads, sterling silver beads, and copper/brown glass seed beads. The large floral pendant gives this necklace a subtle hint of vintage flare. It holds six large topaz rhinestones centered in each individual flower. Matching Swarovski crystals dangle off the end for a […]

The Winning Heart Necklace

When Rick wanted to add few hearts in this necklace for his wife’s birthday, I thought that his hearts will disappear in the blue ocean with sea creatures but one big heart could be a winner. I created this three-in-one using my own beads that were made from Effetre, recycled glass and sea creature charms […]

Green & Beige Hearts & Vines Necklace

This necklace is made with a hand crafted heart shaped lampwork glass bead (crafted in an artists studio in the UK, 2cm x 1.8cm) in shades of light and dark green, beige, cream and brown, some Czech clear green glass beads, some beige cats-eye hearts and some silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads to finish. […]

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 […]

Buttercup Charm Necklace

I have used a buttercup yellow rose and wire wrapped it along with some beige / latte coloured glass pearls. A little brass key and a flower also dangle from an antique brass hoop to complete the charms. I used antique brass cable chain and a heart lobster clasp to secure. I was inspired by […]
