Jewelry Ideas Using Seed Beads, Page 7

Ceramic Delight

The focal beads for these earrings are ceramic beads that reminded me of some dishes my grandmother used to have. Seed beads and blue glass beads serve to offset the ceramic beads. These are simple drop earrings with the beads strung on headpins and the headpins attached to earwires.

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.

White And Green Coil Beads Necklace

I just purchased a coil gizmo, and went a little overboard creating coils. I knew I wanted to make a tiered or layer necklace, what I described to myself as a collar. I wanted each layer to more simple as the layers got smaller. The coils are a pristine white, the large beads are silver […]

Three-strand necklace with stone pendant

The strands consist of copper-tone and magenta seed beads, turquoise beads, silver spacers, E-beads, and my favorite green triangular beads. I approached this necklace like I sometimes approach a quilt project–what “scraps” do I have sitting around?

Elegance Necklace

This necklace is strung on wire with white glass seed beads, brown, yellow and clear crystal 6mm bicones, with a silver plated toggle closure. My inspiration for this piece was simply to try to match a brown, white & black stripe shirt that I have. I think it gives a great business look for the […]

Blue and Gold Necklace

The necklace consists of three strands of seed beads, E-beads, glass beads and silver coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. The earrings consist of the same elements, although the coils are much smaller.

Sea Flower Necklace

This necklace consists of sponge coral and pink coral rounds, pink shell, and seed beads, with a sterling silver toggle clasp.

Back To Nature Necklace

This is a piece I have always wanted to create and many hours later I have succeeded! I have used the method of finger weaving to achieve this look incorporating gemstones, seed beads and my lampwork beads.

Sun Goddess Necklace

I wove a freshwater pearl with golden seed beads to create a rose feature. I used strong fireline to weave the seed beads around the freshwater pearl. I made a circle with the seed beads and then wove the pearl on, then working in rounds I added the petals. Around the rose sit clusters of […]

Amber Waves Bracelet

This 5 1/2″ stretch bracelet will fit most children (although I do not recommend it for children under the age of 5 years) or a small adult wrist. It is double standed with stretch cord and made with antiqued silver Swarovski amber charms, glass amber and gold seed beads, clear round glass beads with amber/gold […]

Double-strand DNA Necklace

When I saw a sample of stitching seed beads into the twisted rope called DNA, I had to try it. It’s pretty time-consuming, especially with small #11 seed beads. After many weeks of starting and stopping, this is the result. I added silver spacers, my favorite green triangular beads and a toggle clasp.

Fall Rhapsody Necklace Set

The idea of this set came to me last fall and was inspired on a very sunny day. It was what we call Golden Fall. First, I weaved the necklace base using vertical netting stitch technique. I used tiny seed Czech beads #12 of amber color. Then I made seven leaves for the necklace and […]

Goddess Necklace

This is a long necklace, that has a romantic touch to it. It is made up of light green foil glass twists, faceted clear glass beads, jade, glass pearls, Tibetan silver, seed beads and a gorgeous goddess bead to finish it off. The twirl on the end is sterling silver wire.

Peach Perfect Necklace

I have made this elegant piece with the method of finger weaving incorporating freshwater potato pearls, Japanese seedbeads and my focal lampwork bead. I was after a soft and feminine look which had a natural flow.

Queen Of The Night

A necklace inspired by Verdi, the Magic Flute. I learned this bead embroidery technique in a book by Heidi Kummli and Sherry Serafini. The cabochon face, was done by me in cold mass of glass, and painted. The materials I used were Miyuki seed beads, Czech bugle beads, pearls, rocailles, and fire-polished beads. Some decoration, […]

Faith Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the seasonal time of the year. The SRA glass cross pendant I used is complimented by the handmade green and autumn brown spacers. Clear glass seed beads and Tibetan silver findings help to give the necklace its sparkle. I think this would be quite effective in other colours too.

White Rose Of Texas

I started by gluing the white resin rose to the leather, and then embroidered around it with white seed beads, crystals and pearls. I backed the creation with camel-colored leather. The necklace is strung with white beads of stone and resin as well as crystals of different sizes. It is about 20″ long.

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 […]
