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 […]

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 […]

Peaches And Fairy Floss Bracelet

This piece is made of pink AB bicone glass crystal clusters and peach coloured 10mm glass pearls. I used 28 gauge silver wire for the bicone clusters and 20 gauge silver wire to make my own eye pins to link the pearls and the clusters together. I also encased the pearls with some Bali silver […]
