Red Double Dash Bracelet

I started with the square Bali sterling silver beads and loved their exotic look. I paired them up with the red coral 6mm rounds and some additional sterling silver spacers that gave the bracelet a strong yet elegant look. I finished it off with a sterling silver toggle clasp. I used soft flex wire and […]

Melted Chocolate Bracelet

This piece was inspired by love of chocolate. I am a big fan of white chocolate, caramel flavoured and milk chocolate. Right there you have three different shades. Using Swarovski crystals I have incorporated these different shades of chocolaty brown. Swarovski crystals are one of my favourite materials to work with, as they come in […]

This bracelet is comprised of round, crimson glass beads and ornate, silver metal bead caps. The central bead has different metal bead caps than the others, and is the only variation is this simple design. I finished it with an antique silver metal hook clasp, which keeps with the design of the bead caps. I […]

Classic Pearl Illusion Necklace

An illusion necklace is much easier than it looks! The cord, sold on some beading websites, is called invisible cord or illusion cord. It is also sold as fishing line and the technical name is monofilament. I’ve seen it in black and a translucent white, so this necklace can be made for light and darker skin […]

Asymmetrical Blues Necklace

The vast majority of my pieces are symmetrical and I wanted to experiment with an asymmetrical design. The large pendants are turquoise dyed jasper and the smaller round beads are amazonite separated with small silver-plated spacers and wire wrapped glass turqoise beads. The final bead dangling from the very bottom is a large, ornate silver-plated […]

Oceans Of Malachite And Aventurine Necklace

In the heat of summer, I wanted to create an oasis of cool colors. I started with a silver, green, and blue pendant which I wrapped in green 20 gauge wire with a few silver spacers. I combined some of my grandmother’s large malachite beads with aventurine rounds, lapis lazuli chips, green seed beads, silver […]

World Tour Mosaic Turquoise Necklace

This necklace was inspired by a piece I saw of someone whose work I admire. I wanted to see if I could render something like it but in my own style. I love the boldness of the 20mm round mosaic turquoise beads and the contrast that the antiqued brass leaf motif beads caps provided against […]

Amethyst Chip Three-Strand Necklace

This piece began as a large bag of amethyst tumbled chips which needed to be used up. I had plenty of fishing line, three-tier spacer bars and a normal clasp so I played around to see what I could come up with. My design was based on inspiration from my mother as her birthstone is […]

Jaffa Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the artisan crafted lampwork beads. The leopard fire agate, fossil coral focal, autumn jasper and bronzite all compliment the colors in the lampwork beads.

I strung them on Accuflex along with 4mm Swarovski crystals and 8mm and 4mm […]

Midnight Rendezvous Bracelet

All I wanted with these beads was for the shape and color to take front and center. The puffy triangle shape of the onyx made a beautiful statement. To highlight it’s beauty I used sterling silver beads and two square filigree bead caps. Since this is a fairly weighty piece, I added additional reinforcements by […]

Washer Necklace

To create my “washer” necklace, I took two washers commonly found at your local hardware store. I used 2 different sizes, and hammered them to give them texture. I then attached them to an olive green suede cord. I added a few additional beads, and then attached a toggle clasp using 18 gauge wire.

Red Coral Double Strand Bracelet

I primarily used red coral chips in this bracelet. I made two strands of them and interspersed two silver color beads. I finished it with a barrel clasp. When I saw these beads in the craft shop I couldn’t resist.
