Copper And Glass Pearl Necklace Set

This piece combines the earthiness of copper with the elegance of pearls. I created four cooper beads using 20 gauge copper wire (7″ pc.) hand wrapped into two sizes of swirls going in opposite directions with a loop in the middle for beading. One 8mm, several 4mm and 6mm white glass pearls as well as […]

Purple Cascade Necklace

Perfect to wear on a night out or to dress up a cute tank and pair of blue jeans. This necklace is made of purple coin pearls, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver wire and chain.

Georgia Necklace

Inspired by my clever, sweet, tough, loyal daughter, I present this piece which displays nuggets of pink / brown howlite and chocolate brown potato pearls. This piece materialized after my youngest daughter insisted we purchase the howlite beads. If something is pink and interesting, my Georgia will see that it is not left behind. Wire-strung […]

Funky Wire Wrapped Carnelian Necklace

This wire wrap necklace is made from mix of fine and sterling silver wire and different shapes of carnelian beads. In this necklace I wanted to create something suitable both for casual dressing and for evening gown. It’s one of my first creations in silver wire and absolutely one of my favorites!

Collage Pendant With White Crystal Agate Druzy

I started out with the fabulous crystal agate druzy. To get together an interesting mix of complimenting gemstones, I chose different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of Prehnite, amethyst, garnet, apatite, citrine and peridot. The ‘backplate’ is a round shaped grid which offers options to fix the gemstones anywhere you like and is also solid […]

Felicity Necklace

Felicity is made of four strands of magnetic hematite beads, hematite chips, snowflake obsidian chips, moonstone chips, wire wrapped clear quartz beads, and two types of metal beads. All of these are strung and wrapped together to create Felicity. I wanted a piece that was chic, and embodied the icy, winter atmosphere.

Buddha Necklace & Earrings

To start the necklace, I cut 3 pieces of beading wire, the first one longer for the focal point of the Buddha. I strung the charm, amazonite 4mm round beads, and bali saucers on the first length of wire and crimped both sides around small round pewter links. The round links are then attached to […]

Mosaic Horse Bust Pendant

The frame was made by hand using cold connections. I used 26 gauge sterling wire to secure the hundreds of 2mm – 4mm freshwater pearls and silver beads to the frame adding a 5mm apatite in a herringbone wrap for the eye and finally a coiled mane. A little LOS and a lot of hand […]

Shell Necklace and Earrings

This necklace and earring set is made of curly shells, clam puff shells, and 6mm and 4mm green pearls. The findings are silver toggles, headpins and earwires.

Patra’s Strut Egyptian Necklace

I love anything Egyptian. Some of the pieces I design will have a hint or full inspiration of this beautiful civilization. This bib-style necklace took just a little time to make as I did the measurements freehand. I wanted it to lay gradually with the focal point being the etched brass pendants with matte gold […]

Heart Of Gold Necklace and Bracelet

I made this necklace and bracelet set for my mother — gold is her favorite color. I wanted to make her something I knew she would really like, and as soon as I saw the heart-shaped glass beads with accents of gold and brown, I was totally inspired. I used gold colored beading wire and […]

Queen Of The Undead

I created this set to accessorize my costume one year when I attended a Halloween party dressed as a vampire. The set consists of faceted dark blue glass beads used to set off the primary irridescent glass skull beads throughout. The beaded flowers and main pendant are made from wire shaped into flower bases and […]

Relic Necklace

I hand cut the focal stone for this piece then designed the rest of the necklace around it. I used 14, 16 and 18 gauge sterling silver wire. The pendant is about 2 inches (5cm) long and 1 1/4 inches (3cm) wide. The organic links measure approximately 2 inches (5cm) long on each side, then […]

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 […]

Orange, Red and Blue Polka Dot Lampwork Earrings

These earrings feature colorful orange, red and blue polka dot lampwork beads. I accented them with solid blue lampwork beads, red coral beads, sterling silver spacer beads and small round sterling silver beads. They measure approximately 2 inches from the top of the sterling silver earwire.

Marrakesh Express Necklace Set

An exotic necklace made of Hickoryite jasper, natural peach jade, red tiger eye, stick pearls and copper over pewter beads and clasp. The necklace is 21 inches long and the matching earrings have grey niobium ear wires. I was inspired by the Hickoryite jasper ovals and everything else fell into place.

Poppy Fields Necklace

The poppies have been glorious this year and those sudden flashes of red amongst the green in the countryside, and the lovely focal bead by Ciel Creations inspired me to make this necklace. The basic stitch is spiral weave, using lots of Czech leaf and flower beads as well as a few firepolish crystals. I […]

Blue Agate Earrings

I love these blue agate stones, they are so beautiful and unique! The blue agate measures 12x18mm. They are accented by a clear faceted glass bead on top and a metal flower spacer beneath it. Earrings hang from sterling silver French earwires. They measure about 2″ from top to bottom.

Purple Mood Wire Wrapped Pendant

The heart of this flower pendant was made from amethysts, garnets and silver beads. The petals were wrapped with sterling silver wire. I like to mix different thicknesses of wire. The pendant is strung on a black leather cord.
