Midnight Bloom Necklace

I love vintage style jewelry and wanted a necklace that would be perfect with a little black dress for an evening out. This beaded necklace was made using Swarovski Elements crystals, Miyuki seed beads and silver metal beads. The lacy filigree look of the beaded pendant gives the necklace a 3D effect.

Vintage Locket Necklace

This necklace uses a vintage brass floral locket as a pendant. The locket is wire wrapped to a mix of white freshwater pearls and faceted clear quartz. The stones are then connected to a medium weight gold filled cable chain. The necklace has an adjustable length of 19 to 21 inches, with a keishi pearl […]

Blue Crescent Necklace

Very simple and fun piece! I’ve used a tigertail wire base, with no clasps. Inexpensive materials include: blue ceramic disc beads in small and large, tiger eye beads, a dichroic glass pendant, and a few metallic seed beads! Make sure to make the initial strand very long! Good luck!

Amazonite Necklace With Smoky Quartz And Pearls

This piece is made with antique brass, amazonite, smoky quartz and pearls. Blue and brown make a nice color combo, and amazonite and smoky quartz are two of my favorite gemstones, so I figured the two stones would look great in a necklace with a little bit of white thrown in somewhere. I took a […]

Autumn Flower Necklace

This necklace combines the colours of brass, cream and amethyst. For the chainmail part I used 8mm rings, putting some 6/0 seedbeads on them before closing them. On the bottom of the focal I worked with the seam measure rings. For the connection with the chain I kettled some Swarovski and other beads between the […]

Dragonfly Billabong Necklace

Dragonfly Billabong is a representation of the centrality of water in Australia, a country where droughts feature often with a few “good” years thrown in between in order to make us forget. I used Lacy’s Stiff Stuff as the foundation. I dyed the white foundation with permanent black dye powder mixed into water and let […]

Felicity Necklace

Felicity is made of four strands of magnetic hematite beads, hematite chips, snowflake obsidian chips, moonstone chips, wire wrapped clear quartz beads, and two types of metal beads. All of these are strung and wrapped together to create Felicity. I wanted a piece that was chic, and embodied the icy, winter atmosphere.

Collage Pendant With White Crystal Agate Druzy

I started out with the fabulous crystal agate druzy. To get together an interesting mix of complimenting gemstones, I chose different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of Prehnite, amethyst, garnet, apatite, citrine and peridot. The ‘backplate’ is a round shaped grid which offers options to fix the gemstones anywhere you like and is also solid […]

Copper And Glass Pearl Necklace Set

This piece combines the earthiness of copper with the elegance of pearls. I created four cooper beads using 20 gauge copper wire (7″ pc.) hand wrapped into two sizes of swirls going in opposite directions with a loop in the middle for beading. One 8mm, several 4mm and 6mm white glass pearls as well as […]

Rattlesnake Choker

I’ve been working a lot with a weave pattern involving three strands of beads…I wanted the challenge of creating a five strand necklace and I thought it worked well as a choker. When I finished it, my little son looked at it and said it looked like a rattlesnake…I thought he described it quite well. […]

Black Jade With Ocean Jasper And Black Onyx Necklace

I loved the unusual colours of this Ocean Jasper and chose matte black Jade beads to create a choker style necklace and a small 5mm facetted Black Onyx to provide symmetry. I created the tube bail by reticulating and fusing the silver, then forming into a tube and oxidising. To finish I added a necklace […]

Brioche Agate And Jasper Necklace

Blues, browns and creams blend together in the brioche agate gemstone pendant on this necklace. I love the blues in this pendant and have not seen a brioche agate gemstone with so much blue before. The necklace is strung with 6 mm round dark brown agate, 3 mm round dark brown picture jasper, 4 mm […]

Pearl, Shell, Crystal & Cats Eye Necklace

This exquisite piece is the essence of summer. Warm, glittery and soft. It consists of four strands of bronze Swarovski pearls, golden shadow Swarovski crystals, cattlehead beige shell and taupe cat’s eye with a touch of brown bugle beads. Necklace is 18″ with 1″ sterling silver chain extender. Sterling silver hook clasp.

Dream Catcher Necklace

This necklace was inspired by the Indian dream catchers. It has seven rings from a chain that I attached beads to with wire. I put a small yellow glass bead on the second and second to last ring, and a teal bead on the center ring. I also dangled three teal beads from the center […]

Mother Of Pearl Beaded Necklace

This three strand necklace is made from an old one that I bought when I traveled. I “recycled” the mother of pearl chips by combining them with some seed beads and this little necklace was born! I placed a unique hand made clay bead on the longest strand to give it some weight. The necklace […]

Australian Outback Evening Sky

This necklace is a wonderful two strand necklace with a lobster claw clasp. One stand is 17″ and the other is 19″. I created a matching 3 strand bracelet and earrings to accompany this necklace. I used fire polished glass beads in the shapes of butterflies and circles with moon and stars, silver cast metal […]

Adira Copper And Swarovski Wirework Necklace

I named this necklace “Adira”. It’s Hebrew and means: majestic, mighty and strong. I hand forged copper wire to create the intricate framework. I took more copper wire to create the ornate wirework. The focal point of the necklace is the wirewrapped 15x14mm jet black Swarovski crystal. The necklace also has smaller jet black, siam […]

Enameled Modern Leis

This piece is a handmade enameled necklace I created to represent the flowers I see everyday in my life. I love walking to work and seeing all the blossoms so I thought why not put them onto a necklace to see. I cut each and every flower out of copper, fused glass of varying colors, […]

Four Strings Dark Pearl Necklace

This necklace is made of pearls and onyx round flat beads. It consists of four strings of black, grey and blue pearls in different sizes which I separated with little metallic pony beads. I used round flat onyx beads here and there to connect the strings and to finish the necklace of. The clasp is […]

Seaside Rendezvous Necklace

I bought the very nice fossilized coral squares first and tried to make them fit with other bead combinations that just weren’t working. I went to a bead show and saw the African opal rondelles and amazonite beads that looked great together and thought of my pretty squares back home. I was delighted that they […]
