Farewell, Gabriel Bracelet

I’ve been experimenting with various styles of wirework. This bracelet is comprised of hand-coiled wire swirls, a handmade wire clasp, blue and red glass beads, and metal spacers. I made charms out of some of the red and blue beads, adding them to the wire swirl charms, and the result is a colorful mix of […]

Memory Wire Bracelet

This simple and fun bracelet was created as part of a “Purple Wire Wrap Set“. Materials: 18″ swarsovski crystals, miracle beads, cracked glass, and other purple assorted beads on memory wire.

Faceted Crystal And Pearls Necklace

This is a very simple piece. Faceted flat top tear drop clear crystals are teamed up here with tiny fresh water pearls wrapped in sterling silver. The chain and clasp are sterling silver. The ‘pendant’ focal was strung onto a 22gauge sterling silver wire and attached to the sterling silver chain with jump rings.

Purple Ice Crackle Beads Triple Strand Necklace

This necklace is a combination of wire wrapping and bead stringing techniques. You can create the three strands of purple beads by stringing them onto either soft-flex wire or thread and finish with bead tips. The ends of the strands are connected with jump rings to the large hammered metal rings. On the other side […]

Halo Peridot Earrings

For a different take on birthstone earrings (August), I decided to make big hoop earrings that are nevertheless surprisingly light to wear. They remind me of a halo which decided me on their name. The hoop is formed out of solid thicker copper wire. It has been hammered flat a bit so that the wire […]

Irises

I used a variety of ceramic beads, ornate brass spacer beads and toggle clasp. They were strung on strong bead wire to hold the weight. I found the beads in 3 different bead stores over the course of several months. I was inspired by the painting “Irises” by Van Gogh that I had the great […]

Copper And Jasper Earrings

I started this project with a sheet of copper. I cut 2 large circles and drilled a hole on the top and bottom. I then used a doming block to give it shape. I attached 4 links of copper chain to the bottom hole. I added 4-5mm jasper beads and a gold bead to the […]

Smoky Quartz & Gold Chain Necklace Set

This set consists of faceted smoky quartz stones that are suspended between links of 14kt gold filled flat cable chain. This set was inspired by the warm colors associated with the fall season. The necklace is secured with a 14kt gold filled lobster claw clasp, and the earrings are set on 14kt gold filled round […]

All Year Round – Tree Pendant

I decided to make this pendant as a display of a whole year in the life of a deciduous tree. It is a wire wrapped solid copper pendant, showcasing a bare, winter tree with the attached Czech glass leaves displaying the seasons change. Starting with bright, lush green leaves in spring, a sparkling pale pink […]

Queen Of Hearts Valentine Earrings

These earrings are made from wire wrapped rosy colored glass suspended from delicate silver chain. The glass briolettes have facets that catch the light and sparkle. They are finished with simple silver ear wires and measure about 2.75″ long.

Marshmallow Turquoise And Chain Necklace

For this necklace I used round marshmallow turquoise beads, cultured freshwater pearls, and sterling silver chain. The beads are strung on .019 softflex and then crimped onto the chain. I used a round hammered toggle clasp which is wire wrapped to a pearl and then the chain. I love how the pearls work with the […]

Copper Explosion Necklace

This piece is made by stringing the larger green and brown beads on stringing wire and then threading string wire through those beads and stringing the copper colored beads on the end. Everything is held in place with crimp beads. There are three strands of wire for the necklace. The strands are braided together to […]

Bold Orange and Green Bracelet

Orange is in this summer in New Zealand. I love orange, and I feel very fortunate to have created this piece with my own beads combined with my favourite technique which is wire work. I made the base of the bracelet with size 6 seed beads, it took me 4 hours to create this piece […]

Agate Wire Pendant

This pendant is made of Agate Semi-precious stone with non-tarnish Silver Artistic wire.

Swirl Pearls Pendant

I used wire wrapping in the construction of this pendant. I started by shaping the wire in a swirl shape and then started attaching the beads to it using freshwater creme pearls and 6mm purple bicone beads. Then, I finished it by a wire wrapped purple briolette. A silver tone chain is attached.

Royal Renaissance Necklace

I was an avid fan of HBOs “The Tudors” and never missed an episode. Besides being entertaining (if not 100% historically correct) I loved the costumes and jewelry. I created this piece from wire shaped into small, medium, and large flower bases then added seed and vintage/new beads to each flower. I worked on this […]

Dorian Necklace With Pendant

This necklace consists of golden plated beads, golden plated wire, turquoise beads, and a turquoise donut. The base is coiled around the beads and woven in a fan shape between the turquoise beads. The pendant is woven in a dorian style. I wove and coiled another turquoise bead in the lower part. The lace chain […]

Sunset Crocheted Wire Necklace

This necklace was crocheted with 26 gauge colored copper wire and dyed glass chips. I love color and that is always my inspiration.

Jungle Fever Necklace

Translucent green glass round beads on brass wire, Vintaj brass hook and eye clasp and Vintaj brass leaf pendant. I love using brass in my jewelry. It’s a look that you don’t always see around.

Saturn Pendant

I wanted to use this lovely glowing Chalcedony bead as a pendant, but it really needed some added interest and color. I hand formed the ring/frame out of thick 18g wire in roughly a similar yet different shape to the gemstone. I then hammered it and used 28g soft copper wire to wrap it with […]
