Pink Ripple



This was my trial run for a crochet bracelet and earrings. It's the first piece that I have done in the crochet style. I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. There is such a wonderful air of unrefined beauty to this style of jewelry. Granted while this is slightly rougher being a test run, there is still such a diamond in the rough quality to it. It's much like turquoise to me...Beautiful things with a ripple flowing through them, just for you to see the earth that they come from. Next I plan to do some in which the beading is actually encased in the wire work.

Autumn Kissed

This Item Has Been Sold.


My first true cuff style bracelet...and I love it. Yes, I know, I made it so it's only natural for me to love it. Still, I just love the way it catches the light. This is definately an autumn inspired piece, but instead of being typical autumn colors it has browns, rust, peaches, and gold all on brass wire. This is something that I will be coming back to make more with similar looks to them.

Shell Shimmer


This necklace is one that I did with sterling silver wire, fluourite chips, seed beads, and a shell focal point. The picture honestly doesn't do it justice because it catches the light so well. I had to keep the necklace design very simple and clean because the shell has so many flashes of color that I simply couldn't pull attention from it.

This Item Has Been Sold.

This set is my newest piece. The necklace uses various crystals and glass beads along with gold and green dyed pearls. The strand of pearls and two strands of mixed beads and crystals are strung on gold filled wire with 14k gold bead chain finishing it with a delicate touch. The necklace is apprx. 18 inches long, and lays beautifully. The earrings are, of course, hypoallergenic hooks with gold wire and green pearls. The rolling swirls finish the earrings well without taking attention from the necklace.

Blue on Brass

These Items Have Been Sold.
This set uses various blue and cream beads on brass wire with some gunmetal finished wire for warm accents. The necklace is strung on three single strands of colored bead string in warm gold and brown tones loosely crocheted together giving it great texture. The bangle bracelet mimics a smaller scale version of the neckalce centerpiece tying the two together seemlessly. The sides are accented with larger beads along the front sides and smaller, smooth beads on the underside for comfort.

Green and Yellow Bangle

This Item Has Been Sold.
This bangle bracelet is done with sterling silver wire woven and twisted forming the bangle from one single piece. It is accented with yellow crackled glass, green specialty beads, and glass beads with green, yellow, and orange tones. It has a hook and large ring closure to make opening and closing easy with one hand only, and lays comfortably flat while your wrist is resting.

Butterfly




I really enjoyed doing this set. The pendant gets a whimsical feel from the wavy pattern given to the sterling silver wire with lavender and plum swarovski crystals. The earrings are done with sterling silver wire spiraling to match the "tails" of the butterfly and adorned with swarovski crystals. The earrings also are made with hypoallergenic earwires. The pendant is 2 1/4"w and 2 3/4"h. The earrings are 1 1/4" long from the base.
