Jelly Bean Set


Disclaimer:  No copyright infringement is intended.  These are my own interpretations of various sweets and candy using various beads.  Nothing in the Sweet Tooth collection is edible.  Please try to refrain from eating!

Who doesn't love Jelly Beans?  Whether it's the gourmet Jelly Belly's and Jelly Bean Factory or their bigger counterparts, they are a yummy staple of the sweet community.
Jelly Bean Set
 Obviously like a real bag of Jelly beans each set is going to vary, but you can be sure you will get a good mix of colours.  I've used many different types of glass beads, and also thrown some semi-precious into the mix.  In the set pictured there is Amethyst, New Jade, Dyed Cherry Jade, Bowenite and Onyx. Spaced between each bead are silver ball spacers like you get on top of biscuits and cakes.  But please note that like the disclaimer says - they are not the edible kind and are made of metal!

Jelly Bean Necklace
 Feel free to request a particular colour of "Jelly Bean" for your earrings!  And please tell me if you require nickel free earwires as the ones pictured are black plated.  (Tip: If you do have a nickel allergy and still want these earrings, try coating the earwires with clear nail varnish.)

Jelly Bean Earrings
 The bracelet is on a coil of memory wire so it will fit all sized wrists. :)

Jelly Bean Bracelet
 I bought some adjustable bling ring blanks and have fallen in love with them.

Jelly Bean Ring
 The finished ring becomes a real statement piece - plus it jangles! ;)

Greek Earth Set

This is the set I made my Mom for her birthday.  She wanted something striking, so I mixed semi-precious stones with a mixed selection of brown glass beads. The list of semi-precious stones include; amethyst chips, smoky quartz chips, lapis lazuli chips, and wooden agate beads.  The rest of the beads are; Czech fire polished light green glass beads, antique bronze spacers, and some lime silver lined spacers.


The pendant is "S" shaped light green veined Jasper topped with wooden rondelles that were off an old pair of earrings.
 

On the earrings, the beads are a mixture of glass shapes, amethyst chips and smoky quartz chips hanging from Greek metal pendants.
 


This set isn't for sale and cannot be recreated. Sorry. :(

Amethyst Chip Set

I bought this necklace for my Mom...


When I got into jewellery making, she asked if I could make her some earrings to match...


Not only did I make the earrings, I also made a ring...



...and a bracelet.


This is the whole set together.
