Americana Set

The 4th of July is almost upon us!  In honour I've made this set based on the American Flag.


The pendant was donated.  I'm not sure whether it's glass crystal or quartz. 


The pendant hangs from multi-layered cobalt seed beads and metalised acrylic star beads.


Next, are two layers of red seed beads, and between them a string of quartz chips.  The rest of the necklace is strung on a single strand of clear silver lined seed beads and connected by lobster clasp.


The earrings are a new design I'm trying out.  I made a square hoop using the cobalt seed beads and hung a star in the middle.  Hanging on the bottom are alternating red and clear seed beads to represent the stars and stripes.  The earwires are nickel free. :)

My Beating Heart Set

A new one-of-a-kind set made with bought beads mixed with recycled beads and rose quartz nuggets.


The pendant is this beautiful metal heart...



This is a marble type bead that I found.  I'm not sure what it came off, but I've had it ages and could never find anything to do with it.  The other recycled beads are these milky glass round beads...


The rest of the necklace is comprised of these glass marbled rose beads...


The beads are wrapped in twisted antique silver knitted wire, which gives it a romantic feel.


The matching earrings are based on dreamcatchers.  Pink acrylic bicone beads are threaded on silver wire which is haphazardly wrapped and bent around square wire that I've made into oval hoops.  The earwires are nickel free.


From the wire, I've hung these white faceted glass hearts.

3 Poppies Necklace

New for June!  I've finally got my alternate petal colours, so I decided to show off the red daggers in this design.



I created this pendant from three "flowers" that I made from Czech glass daggers wired around an opaque black glass bead.  The finished "flowers" are then tied together and hung from a length of leather cord.  The cord is connected by a gunmetal lobster clasp.


Other petal colours available: rose pink, red [pictured], clear, topaz, peridot/light green, black, green, amethyst, amber, royal blue, turquoise, gunmetal, pale pink, lilac, aqua, sky blue

Calypso Necklace

I'm designing more summer jewellery and here is the latest installment:


The Tagua Nuts are back, this time in fuchsia pink!  I wanted a bright, colour clashing necklace that really stood out.


I added these pretty flower spacers and used the beaded star bead caps to cover the large holed Tagua nuts.


Next we have these turquoise and black Greek ceramic beads and in between those are lime green acrylic beads with an AB coating (reflects various colours), which were taken off an old bracelet. 


I thought I'd show you a close up of what one of the bark blemishes look like.  As you can see, it only adds to the uniqueness of these beautiful beads.


Finally; the necklace is strung onto leather cord, and connected by a lobster clasp, although it is long enough that it should fit over most heads.

There is a limited supply of this necklace.  Once they've gone they've gone.

Wavy Cage Ring

I was playing around with aluminium wire the other day and ended up with this really cool ring:


I manipulated the wire with my pliers and ended up with this wavy pattern.


I finally have a ring mandrel so I'll be able to recreate this.
