Jewelry Ideas Using Wire, Page 13

Autumn Jade Necklace

Inspired by colorful, fragrant, crisp autumn leaves. Large slabs of rich yellow jade, small cream and brown round beads of jasper and oval white potato pearls capture the best of my favorite season! Wire-strung with sterling silver crimps and crimp covers. Secured with a magnificent laced, long-oval sterling silver clasp.

Summer Flower Bracelet

The materials used are carnelian beads, purple glass beads, dark brown beads of Japanese glass, and stainless steel wire. The bracelet contains a flower with orange petals and a purple and orange butterfly.

Key Lime Bracelet

This bracelet was my second project. It is made with enamelware starfish focal beads, Czech rounds, Swarovski rounds, bicones, cubes, squaredelles, geometric shaped beads, all separated by gold filled spacers and clasp. I used beading wire, gold filled crimps, and jump rings for the dangles. The color kiwi is my favorite and that is what […]

Capri Copper Wire Jewelry Set

Copper wire is curled into s-links, figures of eight and jump rings to make the chain, with the art-deco style pendant pieces. Fire-gold swarovski crystals set off by deep red ones. The result is Italianate, and surprisingly delicate.

Ring Of Fire Necklace

This necklace was a challenge to make! I wanted to incorporate strands of cord in with the beads and was unsure how to fasten them all together neatly. I ended up using a 26 gauge wire to bind the cords together, then I stitched seed beads over the wire with thread so the wire wouldn’t […]

Splatter Wirework Necklace

This necklace was made from 18 gauge copper wire. I randomly shaped the wire into a design I liked. I added a few copper beads to the wire. I then hammered the copper in a few places, mostly on the curves, to add character. I finished the piece by attaching it to leather cord.

Silver Garden Necklace

This sterling silver necklace is made with wire wrapping techniques, which involves cutting wire pieces and wrapping the ends of the wire around varying cylinders. Beads and findings are all sterling silver. Inspired by flowers! The background is a leaf from a bird of paradise plant.

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 […]

Pearls On A Silver Lily Pad

This pendant combines three of my favorite jewelry making mediums: wire wrapping, beading and Precious Metal Clay (PMC). It all started with a lovely peach colored pearl. I then designed the lily pad of PMC to nestle around the pearl. I wire wrapped the lily pad to transform it into a pendant. It is finished […]

Pearl Spear Necklace

A chain and wire-strand necklace with a hammered steel toggle clasp. Made with sodalite beads and pendant, small Swarovski bicone crystals, and mother-of-pearl spears. Simply attach the tigertail wire to one end of a bit of chain, string your beads, and then connect the wire to the other side of the chain! All materials used […]

Antiqued Silver Swirl Pendant

I really enjoyed creating this set. It’s made of 18 gauge sterling silver wire and antique silver beads. For the posts and pendant, I started with the swirls with the beginning of the wire, allowing enough wire at the end to form the posts on the earrings and the bail which is hidden behind the […]

Czech Iris Brown Dangle Earrings

These earrings were designed by myself for my mother-in-law. I used silver plated earwires, silver plated 20 gauge wire, silver plated 3mm balls and Czech Fire Polished Iris Brown 6mm faceted glass beads.

Simple Pink O-Ring Earrings

These earrings are a snap to make using several shades and diameters of pink and purple o-rings. Start with a large jump ring and thread the O-rings on and then attach a small silver O-ring to attach the earwire. The result has a messy charm and adds a pop of color to your outfit.

Flowering Green Pagoda Pendant

In my exploration with the application of the needle lace technique to wire work, I created this lovely pendant. It reminded me of the Japanese Pagodas, hence the name. Created with 20 gauge wire as the base element and 26 gauge sterling wire for the netting. Swarovski crystals were used on the ends of the […]

Spirit Yeah I Have It

I bought this antique key from an antique seller last summer. I finally got the nerve to use it. I attached some dangles of wire-wrapped beads and a SPIRIT charm from Earthenwood Studios, to the handle. The chain is made up of Green jade rectangular tube beads, that are each wire looped to each other […]

Handmade Chain With Pearls

This necklace I made from wire cutted in to small pieces and made into “links” to from a chain. Light blue swarovski pearls was added to finish it of. This is very time consuming but the result was worth every second.

Amethyst Loop Earrings

These were made with Czech druk 4mm amethyst glass beads, silver plated earwires and 22 gauge silver plated brass beading wire.

Nesting Bird Necklace

I created this necklace using Vintaj Brass Co. chain. In a few spots around the chain, I attached wire-wrapped red Czech glass beads for accents. The focal I used is a pewter bird bead from Mamacita Beadworks. I used an eye pin, and off the bottom hook, dangled a brass wire nest that I stuffed […]

Tale Of A Seahorse Necklace

First I formed the frame by hand – no solder here, all cold connections. Once the frame was secured I used countless feet of hair thin wire to stitch the hundreds of 2mm – 4mm sterling silver beads. I added some beautiful blue apatite beads around the belly for a splash of color, and another […]
