Sterling Silver Mabe Pearl Necklace

Sterling is composed of rich textured silver freshwater pearls laced with silver beads and accented with a large silver plated mabe pearl pendant.

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 […]

Earthy Blossom Tiger-Eye Necklace

This is one of my signature pieces. The pendant in this necklace is handwoven with agate stones and petal beads strung together with three strands of Czech tiger-eye beads on each side.

Leafy Green Necklace Featuring Aventurine

This necklace is a 17 inch choker made with aventurine beads, faux green pearls, and 13 mother of pearl tear drop shaped pendants in green and white. I wanted to create a leafy look with the pendants (which hang about 1 inch long with the faux pearls at the end of them). The piece fastens […]

Coloured Soul Tagua Necklace

This is a simple necklace to construct but fashionably effective. I paired tagua and acai berry with faux brown leather which I hand-knotted to allow the natural “vegetable ivory” tagua to show. The necklace is adjustable. I added cherry red acai berry beads to the ends for a finished look.

Jade Gemstone And Crystal Drop Necklace

For the drop there is a large oval gemstone with small bicone Swarovski crystals on a long headpin. Attached by a small jump ring is a 4mm round gemstone and attached at the bottom is a large Swarovski crystal. The necklace has a pattern of small bicone crystal, 4mm round gemstone, Bali tube spacer, gemstone […]

The Raya Necklace

The wooden crescent used in this piece was part of findings reserved for an upcoming collection for Chanel. I was lucky to run across this piece. The texture is very smooth and the pendant is large and unique. I added intricately carved cylinder wood as an accent and coconut beads to complete the necklace. I […]

Onyx and Wood Tribute Necklace

This piece was inspired by a very special person. Recently, I was honored to be present at a local church to witness a performance by the African Children’s Choir. The choir director, a striking woman and former member who has since earned a degree in design, participated throughout the moving concert. Though I was far […]

Turquoise Twist Choker

This is my favorite piece. It’s a 3-strand choker, one strand large turquoise nuggets, and two strands of small nuggets. I used silver separators and a silver hook clasp at the end. This was a custom design for a friend. She wanted something different for a function and couldn’t find what she wanted in stores.

Autumn Spirit Necklace

This was made with recycled vintage materials including vintage glass beads, vintage brass beads, and a focal bead made from a vintage earring. I played with the rhythm on this piece, varying the bead positions. My inspiration was the fall season and all its glory. Recycling vintage materials is a wonderful way to be kind […]

Blue Ice Bracelet

Over a matter of a couple months I started putting beads into a container to make something with. When I finally felt I had enough to work with I started putting them together. Of course I must have tried 7 or 8 different patterns, but in the end this is what I came up with! […]

Blue Agate And Labradorite Necklace

My inspiration for this necklace were these large 12x18mm blue agate beads. They are like a cool faceted barrel. I wanted the blue to stand out so I added the leaf-cut labradorite beads with the blue flash to match the blue in the agate. In between each labradorite are 2 glass beads and a clear […]

Long Black Brown Gemstone And Copper Necklace

This long sturdy necklace is very easy to make. It is the beauty off the beads that makes it. I put small onyx beads, long tube red jasper beads, golden brown rectangular mother of pearl beads, small dark orange carneol beads, golden brown freshwater pearls and a lot of red copper rings together on just […]

Wise Woman’s Necklace

This piece was created because we are wise women. Our knowledge has been handed down through the wise women of our past and the wise women we deal with today. This multistrand necklace is made of seed beads interspersed with glass leaf-shaped beads. Elegant cones finish off this elegant roit of color.

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 […]

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 […]

Mix and Match Reversible Beaded Necklace

I had a few larger beads and I did not know what to use them for (my necklaces are usually more delicate). One day the inspiration came in a store catalog–the idea of combining one strand of large beads and six strands of small beads. It is wearable top side down or up. It can […]

Scorpion Necklace

For this necklace I used a cabochon with a real scorpion within. I made the combination with shell pieces, bone beads, miyuki seed beads and beautiful filigree beads. The combination of the different materials and the copper and cream colors give this necklace a friendly instead of a scary look.

Three-strand Purple Bracelet with Charms

I was just playing around with some leftover beads from a double-strand watch project when I made this bracelet. The heart charm was an afterthought because I was having fun shaping eyepins and made a few different ones. I used crackle glass beads, metal spacer beads, stone disc beads, hematite beads, one interesting glass bead […]

Sweethearts’ Day Watch Bracelet

I made this watch for Valentine’s Day – sold one so I thought of making another. The colors are inspirational to the holiday for lovers. This is one of many watches I have made and truly enjoy the outcome of each piece created. The watch face is silver tone and the bracelet is strung with […]
