Jewelry Ideas Using Seed Beads, Page 4

Palatial Bib Necklace

This necklace contains Czech cristals, velvet for the cordon, and size 11 and 15 seed beads. I added seed bead fringe with nylon thread to the velvet for the neck side cordon. For the main part I used eyepins which I ran through chain to form the structure. I used beading glue to affix the […]

Blue Crescent Necklace

Very simple and fun piece! I’ve used a tigertail wire base, with no clasps. Inexpensive materials include: blue ceramic disc beads in small and large, tiger eye beads, a dichroic glass pendant, and a few metallic seed beads! Make sure to make the initial strand very long! Good luck!

Autumn Flower Necklace

This necklace combines the colours of brass, cream and amethyst. For the chainmail part I used 8mm rings, putting some 6/0 seedbeads on them before closing them. On the bottom of the focal I worked with the seam measure rings. For the connection with the chain I kettled some Swarovski and other beads between the […]

Amber Web And Heart Necklace

This necklace has an amber foil lined lampwork heart focal bead and a mix of smaller Czech glass and lampwork glass beads to finish. 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 […]

Teal & Pink Looped Over Pendant

This set is made with hand crafted lampwork glass beads, some with pink swirls and some with raised floral patterns (even better in real life!). The rest of the lampwork beads are pink. There are also some silver coloured metal Bali-like spacer beads to finish. The seed beads used are clear teal. All mounted on […]

Midnight Bloom Necklace

I love vintage style jewelry and wanted a necklace that would be perfect with a little black dress for an evening out. This beaded necklace was made using Swarovski Elements crystals, Miyuki seed beads and silver metal beads. The lacy filigree look of the beaded pendant gives the necklace a 3D effect.

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 […]

Mykonos Sunrise Bracelet

This is a bold needlewoven bracelet of metallized glass beads with Mykonos discs. Glass triangle and round beads are handsewn in a square stitch in four sections. Between each section is a Mykonos ceramic bead for accent. The beaded loop and clasp makes it look like a continuous band. I love these greek beads! After […]

Mother Of Pearl Beaded Necklace

This three strand necklace is made from an old one that I bought when I traveled. I “recycled” the mother of pearl chips by combining them with some seed beads and this little necklace was born! I placed a unique hand made clay bead on the longest strand to give it some weight. The necklace […]

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 […]

Faith Car Jewel

I love creating car jewels. Just hang them on your rear-view mirror and it is a constant reminder of good things in life. I named this piece “Faithfulness” because it reminds me of God’s faithfulness in my life. It is created using a fancy earring frame. I used seed beads of various amber hues with […]

Aventurine Cleopatra Necklace

These aventurine beads range in hues of honey, amber, citrine and caramel. Their triangle shapes are varied and lend an interesting feature to a “Cleopatra” look. I finished off the necklace with small aventurine nuggets in the same tonal colors. Tiny honey colored seed beads separate the aventurine beads. I’ve used a vermeil (gold plated […]

Aquamarine Morning And Amethyst Night

One early spring day I was so inspired by the sky that I decided to recreate this picture. I felt like I was working on a painting… First, I made the base for the necklace, using seed and bugle beads. Then, I made two-layered and three-dimensional blossoming full flowers, also using seed beads and bugle […]

Faith Cuff Bracelet

This bracelet is made with a cabochon, amethyst, and brass and purple seed beads. This bracelet won the third prize in a contest about faith. I used a Buddha, a cross, an angel, but also things out of nature, because nature is very important to me.

Vintage Hair Tie

This black Goodies hair tie was very plain and needed a little more style. I wrapped a portion of the hair tie with beautiful pastel blue glass beads, white Japanese seeded beads, and to add a little colour I put antique coloured plated metal bead caps around the glass beads. It turned out more vintage […]

The Golden Empress Necklace

This necklace was made with two sizes of gold and silver seed beads. The main part of the necklace is in a Victorian lace style and is made with small seed beads, and the center piece has a large amber cosmic shaped Swarovski crystal surrounded by larger gold and silver seed beads.

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 […]

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 […]

Green Seed Bead Triple Strand Bracelet

This bracelet is very simple to make and looks great! Each of the three segments has 20 green seed beads separated by a pewter triple spacer. All the crimps have crimps covers over them. The clasp is a lobster clasp. What I like about this piece is that it can be worn as casual or […]

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 […]
