Jewelry Ideas Using Seed Beads, Page 4

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 […]

Purple and Blue Beaded Necklace

I used purple pearls, metal flowers, dark blue seed beads, and light blue crystals to make this piece. It has a lobster clasp set with crimp beads. I used wire, but beading thread can work too. String the beads in a pattern of two seed beads, then a purple pearl, then a blue crystal, then […]

Australian Outback Evening Sky

This necklace is a wonderful two strand necklace with a lobster claw clasp. One stand is 17″ and the other is 19″. I created a matching 3 strand bracelet and earrings to accompany this necklace. I used fire polished glass beads in the shapes of butterflies and circles with moon and stars, silver cast metal […]

Butterfly Brown Necklace

This necklace consists of many of my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones and Japanese seed beads. My theme and colour palette were decided upon as part of a nature series, this piece being the butterfly. I have hand forged silver pieces to represent the slender butterly feelers, with my lampwork glass butterfly sculpture becoming the focal […]

Bead Embroidery Necktie Necklace

This necklace was made in crazy-quilt style with pearls, seed beads, and glass beads embroidered on cloth.

Black Filigree & Hematite Vines Ornate Pendant Necklace

This ornate set was made with a matte black coloured 3D filigree pendant (5.7cm x 5cm), Hematite rice shaped and round beads, facetted opaque black glass beads, some with fire polished finish and silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads. The seed beads used are foil lined dark grey and opaque black. The beads were strung […]

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 […]

Theatre Memory Wire Necklace

This necklace consists of memory wire, seed beeds, small Swarowski beads, and pendants.

Shanghai Rose Necklace Set

A Thai silver spiral pendant is the focus and the two strands are composed of Thai silver, crackled mother of pearl, Swarovski crystal and Japanese seed beads. The necklace is finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp and has an overall length of 24 inches. […]

Jessica’s Big Blue Glass Drop Necklace

Inspired by a friend who wanted something bright for an outfit, this dichroic glass necklace was designed with a simple bright blue oversized glass drop hanging on small silver lined crystal seed beads (so they wouldn’t compete with the drop and would add some “bling” at the same time). While simply composed, this piece is […]

Mountain Mist Necklace

I love being able to use up leftover beads to create a beautiful eclectic piece. I used gold beading wire to string green agate chips, green glass beads of different shapes and sizes, clear Swarovski bicones, and green metallic seed beads. This is one of my favorite brass clasps, so I had to have it […]

Winter Berry Earrings

These earrings are made of beaded seed bead fringe with unakite beads to represent berries. They are finished with French earwires.

The Love Necklace

This necklace is made of clear fluted fire polished glass beads which have a beautiful Aurora Borealis finish. (An Aurora Borealis Finish refers to a rainbow-like finish added to the outside of the bead. It gives added shine and play of color to each bead.) Each bead is separated with red foil lined glass seed […]

Wire Lines

This choker is Turkish and consists of spirals of wire, seed beads, and cloth.

Goldie Beaded Bookmark

This beaded fish bookmark is one of the fish bookmark that I have made for my “Fish Fry Club” series. I wanted bright cheery colors to make the beaded bookmark pop and so for this beaded fish, I used shining glittering metallic coated Miyuki seed beads. I attached a Czech pressed glass leaf for the […]

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.

Butterfly Brooch

The wings are kept in resin. I glued them onto Stiff Stuff and surrounded them with very small Miyuki Delica beads and rocaille seed beads . The back is finished with dark green Ultrasuede and a brass brooch pin.

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 […]

Bold Orange and Green Bracelet

Orange is in this summer in New Zealand. I love orange, and I feel very fortunate to have created this piece with my own beads combined with my favourite technique which is wire work. I made the base of the bracelet with size 6 seed beads, it took me 4 hours to create this piece […]
