Jewelry Ideas Using Wire, Page 11

Koala Scribbly Pendant

Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]

Coral Charms Necklace

This necklace was inspired by one of my favorite orange-y colors (even my car is this color!). I had the flat beads, round beads and heart lying around and they just finally came together. Clear pony beads act as spacers. The dangly charms are on silver headpins and I used silver wire to string it […]

Princess Net Necklace

This piece I worked long and hard on. I used imitation pearls and black seed beads, with tigertail wire and silver headpins. I saw a necklace in this style but with different colors and it was not as sassy. I saw the necklace as a challenge for me so I decided to look at it […]

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 […]

Spring Love Earrings

To make these earrings I placed three mother of pearl beads in complimentary colors on gold-tone brass wire and formed a loop. I then fed the wire through the orange lace lentil beads. I wire wrapped one wire around the base of the second wire and formed a loop out of the other wire. In […]

Montgomery West Jewelry Set

This set was made using glass beads with a brown and yellow swirled pattern, glass pearls and smokey topaz Swarovski crystals. I made the ‘S’ clasp on both the necklace and the bracelet from 16 gauge brass wire.

Mixed Stone Earrings

These earrings were made using a mix of stones: turquoise, jasper and sodalite. I connected them using 18 gauge silver wire. I left a large loop on the end to add 3 hammered pieces of 18 gauge silver wire. I put a small loop at the end of each of the hammered wire pieces to […]

Aaliyah Matti Necklace Set

The name and inspiration for this necklace set was derived from my late grandmother and favorite singer, the late Aaliyah. The beauty of this set just reminded me of their beauty. I worked with beautifully glowing faceted Peruvian blue chalcedony briolette beads and iridescent peach puff coin freshwater pearls. I strung the beads onto gold […]

Ammonite Earrings

Ammonites became extinct 65 millions years ago along with the dinosaurs so these fossilized shells are 65-400 million years old! When ammonites are found in clays their original mother-of-pearl coating is often preserved, you can see this in the back shot. These beautiful ammonite fossils are 1 1/4″ long and set in solid .925 sterling […]

Black Coral Earrings

These are dyed coral sticks. Most of my inspiration for my creations come from nature. As these have such an organic look I could not resist them. To give the sticks some elegance I have wrapped the tops with wire and made a loop with which to attach the ear wire.

Orange And Blue Swirls Necklace

I wanted to create a piece with bold blues and oranges, a fun color combination I think. I tried a few different pendant ideas which either didn’t sit right on the neck or didn’t work well with the necklace before settling on the pendants in the picture. I used blue 18 gauge wire to create […]

Terra Cotta & Turquoise Necklace

This necklace has a silver toggle that goes in front. Whenever I see someone wearing a necklace of this style, I always love the way it looks. This one consists of 4 mm terra cotta beads, turquoise stones, teal-colored “E” beads, short bugle beads in white, and silver wire coils I shaped with round-nose pliers. […]

Ocean Treasures Necklace

Most of my inspiration comes from nature and the environment that I live in. I live on the north coast of British Columbia Canada in a small port/fishing town. When I came across the wire mesh in the teal color I instantly thought of fishing nets capturing the sealife in its path. This is my […]

Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant

The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]

Autumn Leaves Bracelet

This bracelet is made using 14kt gold filled wire and lots of little glass beads left over from other projects. I twisted some curlicues, wired up some beads and hung them on the curlicues. I also made the simple hook and eye clasp from 14kt gold filled wire. This one twinkles, it is one of […]

Summer Necklace

This necklace is made of various Swarovski crystals and silver findings. It is strung on Beadalon 49 .018 silver plated steel wire. I love both of these materials, and I think they suit each other very well.

St. Tropez Wire Pendant

This piece is inspired by mid summer-the colours look so cool on a hot hot day, the colours make me think beach sand and cocktails!

Black & Pink Rhapsody Earrings

These beautiful earrings are made with glass beads with a rose design and surrounded by Swarovski crystals. Earwires are 14k gold plated. Measures 1 1/2″. These are the perfect accent to your spring wardrobe! So pretty and sparkly.

Emerald Green Earrings

I have created these earrings using silver plated ear wires, a variety of green/emerald beads and recycled green and silver charm from a broken necklace. I used nickel free headpins, spacer beads and jump rings to complete them.

Silver And Copper Scroll Bracelet

I wanted to make something that used both copper and silver wire and I wanted it to be feminine. This is what I came up with. One of a kind bracelet is made with sterling silver and copper. The individual pieces were shaped by hand then soldered in place and given a light brushed finish.
