Jewelry Ideas Using Seed Beads, Page 6

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 […]

Wise Woman’s Necklace

This piece was created because we are wise women. Our knowledge has been handed down through the wise women of our past and the wise women we deal with today. This multistrand necklace is made of seed beads interspersed with glass leaf-shaped beads. Elegant cones finish off this elegant roit of color.

Woodland Brooch

I started off with some Lacey’s Stiff Stuff as the bead embroidery foundation. I dyed it to a suitable shade of black. I had a beautiful African turquoise cabochon which I had stashed away, waiting for the right moment of creativity to spark. I sewed different semi precious stones around the cabochon, choosing muted tones that would […]

Tassle To Go Necklace

I created this necklace by stringing Rainbow Flourite donuts, Violet Swarovski crystals, a silver plated hammered circle center piece, and purple matte seed beads. This necklace has a lobster clasp and chain so length can be adjusted.

Three-strand Purple Bracelet with Charms

I was just playing around with some leftover beads from a double-strand watch project when I made this bracelet. The heart charm was an afterthought because I was having fun shaping eyepins and made a few different ones. I used crackle glass beads, metal spacer beads, stone disc beads, hematite beads, one interesting glass bead […]

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.

Mix and Match Reversible Beaded Necklace

I had a few larger beads and I did not know what to use them for (my necklaces are usually more delicate). One day the inspiration came in a store catalog–the idea of combining one strand of large beads and six strands of small beads. It is wearable top side down or up. It can […]

Druid Necklace

I just loved these beads, they were made by Caron at halo beads. The colours just lent themselves to be blended with black seed beads and some multi-faceted beads, to add a bit more sparkle. The little diamonte heart clasp just finished it off nicely. This is quite long and I did take it apart […]

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 […]

Ethnic Fire Necklace and Earrings

I created this unique piece around these beautiful antique silver connectors. I used 6mm and 8mm bright orange Czech crystals, orange seed beads and different shapes of black glass beads to make charms and attached to connectors. I used 2-toned seed beads on tigertail to emphasize the ethnic look and finished it with a silver […]

Good Juju Wire Wrapped Collar

This piece was inspired by a friend’s Kenyan necklace made of bone & horn. I loved the strong shapes and the way the horns tapered around the sides of the neck. My beaded version looks nothing like hers, but it captures a similar earthy, bold feeling. I made frames with 20 gauge sterling plated copper […]

Flame Necklace

As I work with an open flame I felt it was appropriate to create a necklace celebrating my passion. In this necklace my handmade lampwork beads, gemstones, and Japanese seed beads are finger woven together with my forged sterling silver pieces suggesting the lick of the flame.

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.

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 […]

Erica Tiara

This tiara was handmade by myself using cream Swarovski crystal pearls, clear Swarovski crystals and silver lined seed beads. This tiara features three wire wrapped flowers as the side focal which are complimented with wire wrapped leaves. I wanted to create a statement piece that was romantic and girlie whilst alluding to a sense of […]

Beaded Bead Three Strand Necklace

This necklace came about because I absolutely LOVE the size 11 seed bead mix I purchased at my local bead shop. I also learned to bead a bead, using these tiny beads. It’s very labor-intensive, but really worth it. The focal glass bead is beaded with these no. 11 beads, as well as four other […]

Amethyst Embelished Bracelet

I created this bracelet using square stitch, flat black cubes embelished with amethyst seed beads and silver spiral spacers. The total length of this bracelet is 8″. The clasp is a dark button that matches with the seed beads.

Ram Horn Peyote Stitch Necklace

I was influenced by Hittite figures and forms for this piece. I used the peyote technique with Japanese seed beads size 13 and size 15. The figure at the center of the necklace is handmade from 22 carat gold. I also used herringbone technique for clamps.

Red & Black Loomed Bracelet

A woven bead bracelet of red, black, and white seed beads.

Grass Koi Necklace

This necklace was made using Beadalon 49 strand flexible wire and was inspired by the idea of the lush green surroundings of a summer pond. The fish pendant is Hill Tribe Thai silver, and the beads are vintage West German Givre glass, Swarovski crystal, Delica seed beads, Czech glass, and celery colored freshwater pearls. The […]
