Purple Crazy Lace Agate Pendant Necklace
This is definitely a crazy necklace. I loved the octagon shape of this pendant, its beautiful combination of purples, greys and beiges and its large size – a little over 2″ across! The necklace is made up of a lot of different beads, two large silver foil lampwork beads balance out the huge pendant along […]
Tropical Rain Forest Necklace
This piece was inspired by the tropical rainforests I have visited in Central America. The dark green leaves, dark undergrowth and sparkling sun breaking through the trees is depicted in this piece. It is made of malachite, obsidian and silver and finished with a toggle clasp.
Seahorse Beaded Necklace
This necklace was inspired by my love of the ocean. Abalone shell pendant with small brass seahorse charm adorns the front. I also used various colored fresh water pearls, and Czech glass beads and then metallic blue/purple seed beads up and around the back of the necklace where it ends at a brass swirl clasp.
Freshwater And Mother Of Pearl Necklace
I love making unique pieces of jewelry. This necklace consists of a strand of delicate freshwater pearls with briolette shaped mother of pearl beads. The simple clasp and findings are sterling silver. This necklace has a wonderful summer feel to it, like being by the ocean. I think the slightly green tint of the freshwater […]
Love Twists & Locks
This is a two in one piece necklace, with a diachromatic coloring pink and wine at the base. I used the wine color against the white to signify love and passion and the up and down nature of love. On the other side I used pink to signify the purity and gentleness that comes with […]
Lillyana Bracelet
I have been making lampwork beads for a while and decided that this flower focal would look good with pearls. I used sterling silver findings and a hill tribe silver heart, just to add a bit more romance to it. It suited a double strand bracelet, due to the size of the bead.
Tigers Eye And Picture Jasper Choker
This piece is a 18 inch choker with two strands closely intertwined. The first strand has tiger’s eye stones and picture jasper beads with the second strand of gold colored seed beads wrapped around the picture jasper beads. Brown glass and copper-tinted spacers are mixed in with the other beads to complete the piece. All […]
Blue Blossom Bracelet
This bracelet was created with rustic aquamarine chips and hilltribe silver bead caps turned in on one another to create the appearance of beads. Finished with one of my signature handmade toggle clasps.
Potato Pearl Bracelet
This bracelet was one of a few designs I made to show a friend for gifts at her wedding. This bracelet used white potato pearls enclosed in bali bead caps with tube spacers in between. Next to each bead cap is a bicone clear Swarovski crystal. The end crimps are covered with crimp bead covers […]
Fluorite Czech Glass Bracelet
I made this bracelet with faceted Czech glass donuts, sterling silver saucers, and sterling silver round beads. This bracelet has a sterling silver chain extender and sterling silver lobster clasp. Bracelet is strung using .019 Soft-flex beading wire. Bracelet is 7 1/2″ in length and extender is 1 1/4″ in length. I love the two […]
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 […]
A Mothers Love Necklace
The inspiration for these piece is my mother who sadly passed away at the beginning of this year (2006). I utilized a puffed sterling silver heart as the focal to represent my love for mom. Swarovski crystals in ruby which is my mothers birthstone and the creamy beige pearls which were my mother’s which I […]
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 the necklace on accuflex wire and then finished it with an antique silver hook and eye clasp. The beads and gemstones are separated and […]
Jade Long Heart Cluster
A large jasper pendant forms the focal point of this necklace. Added to this are topaz Czech faceted glass rounds, amber Czech glass rounds, faceted resin rondelles and some silver plated Bali-like beads caps and spacer beads to finish. The seed beads are foil lined dark brown and clear cream, the bugle beads are a […]
Blue Quartz And Blue Opal Multistrand Necklace
For this 3-strand necklace I started with the faceted oval 10x14mm blue opal stones and added cube-shaped blue opals with light turquoise and darker foiled turquoise colored seed beads. The three strands are 18 1/2″, 20 1/2″ and 21″ in length (including the clasp). The clasp is a metal 3-strand hook with little flowers for […]
Tibetan Colors Necklace
I found the center bead at the local bead shop in my college town. The bead inspired me to make a necklace similar to the necklaces traditionally worn by Tibetans. In general, the necklaces are rather large so I simplified mine to a size that fits my style. The materials used in the necklace were […]
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 […]
Pink Champagne Necklace Set
Made with pink glass pearls and champagne freshwater pearls, this necklace set also has rose quartz beads and large ocean jasper beads with pink swirls. There are gold metal spacers and a flower toggle clasp. The necklace is 17″ in length and bracelet is 8.5″.
Brass Circles Necklace
This has been a work in progress for a while – the links and pendant were a natural pairing – the strung portion took a while of thinking to find the right solution. The circles are brushed aged brass, and the transparent pendant bead and matching nugget beads are raku glass. The strung portion is […]
