Byzantine Chain Mail Bracelet

This bracelet was constructed using a variation of the byzantine chain mail weave. Instructions for this weave and many others can be found here. Materials used include: aluminum rings, freshwater pearls, sterling silver wire, and sterling silver toggle clasp.

Longevity Jade Pendant Necklace & Earrings

I was inspired by the “longevity symbol” jade pendant bead and added accent silver chain links and purple crystal beads to drape from the pendant piece to create a contemporary feel. Then I used beading wire and threaded rectangular sunstone beads, marble, tumbled green aventurine stones and sterling silver accent bead caps to create this […]

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 […]

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 […]

Pearl & Tigers Eye Necklace And Earring Set

I purchased this gorgeous pendant from an online auction, but didn’t like the pendant bail that came with it. It was too large. I cut it off and used industrial strength glue to attach a tiger’s eye bead to the pendant and used it as an attachment point for the necklace. I then strung matching […]

Winter Amethyst Necklace

Inspired by beautiful, snowy New England nights,this necklace is made of coin-shaped amethyst with white striation, dark amethyst rondelles, oval frosted moonstone beads, spun sterling silver oval beads, and a large rectangular piece of amethyst for a focal bead.

Imagination Facination Bracelet

This bracelet is an African opal bracelet with Czech crystal bi-cone flirts. How to make it: Cut two pieces of leather cord about 1 1/2″ shorter than you want it to be to allow for the focal bead and the clasp. I used a heavier 20 gauge half hard sterling silver wire, and did a […]

Memories Bracelet

This 36 inch bracelet, strung on memory wire, is made with mother of pearl beads, Swarovski round and AB crystal bicone beads and Swarovski fireballs. A friend’s deeply cut in halter top wedding gown inspired me to make this. She wrapped it around her upper arm. The ends of the memory wire can be finished […]

Salmon Coral White Shell Necklace

I have wire wrapped this vintage style necklace with 5 mm round salmon bamboo coral beads and 8 mm round white shell beads into three strands using copper eye pins. One of the strands overlaps the other two strands. I finished it with a brass lobster claw. The length of the necklace is 18 inches.

Diamond Drop Choker

Three different sizes of glass bicone beads are used, along with gold wire. I also substitute 6mm round or oblong lampwork beads for the center piece on the diamond. This is a fun piece to make and looks great with every outfit, from jeans to formal gowns.

New York Black & White Cookie Necklace

Hand sculpted of polymer clay, silver bail and steel choker wire with magnetic closure. I wanted to make something unique to this area so that people could have a bit of “home” or “a taste of NYC” with them wherever they went.

Carnelian And Turquoise Necklace

I use to shy away from turquoise only because of the way the pieces were set. They were all the same. It is such a beautiful stone and such a compliment to many other stones, I couldn’t help myself. This combination reminds me of a sunset walk on the beach, cool waves and warm skies. […]
