Swarovski sew-on crystals are excellent for necklace. This gorgeous necklace has been made using chainmaille princess weave. Since I used Swarovski golden shadow sew-ons, I chose gold-filled wire to reflect autumn colors on necklace. Light red freshwater pearls are adding sensitivity to the jewelry. For an eye-cathcer I’ve used Swarovski rondelle which is a cap for fine chains. I was inspired by sparkling crystals and coming wedding show. This jewelry would be perfect for a mature bride, slightly girlish and still gorgeous at the same time. A perfect match for a woman who knows what she wants in her life!

Colors of the Holiday Season

Holly Berry Quartz BraceletGlass Pearl and Crystal Disc Choker

Faux Malachite Filigree EarringsTwinkly Crystal Holiday Bracelet

I love the traditional colors of the holiday season–green, red, white, silver and gold. But sometimes these colors are so strongly associated with the holidays, like red and green, it seems inappropriate to use them any other time. So when the end of the year rolls around, I take full advantage of these festive color pairings to spread my brand of holiday cheer.

Check out these pieces at my etsy shop.

by justatish on Oct.08, 2009, under Jewelry Making

Never be without a head pin again! If you have wire, you can create a head pin to use in any of your designs.

What you will need:
1 pair of side nippers
1 pair chain nosed pliers
Wire
Daisy spacer (optional)

Cut a piece of wire 1 3/4″ in length. Pictured here is 22 ga sterling wire.

Grasp the very end of the wire with the chain nosed pliers, turn the pliers in a counter clockwise direction 180 degrees.

You have a ‘hook’

Pinch the hook together with your chain nosed pliers

There is your head pin!

You can use a daisy spacer bead as a decoration or as a stopper if the beads you are using have a larger hole.

Lava stone bead necklace

by justatish on Oct.08, 2009, under Handmade Jewelry

Multi layered and bulkly is the trend for fall 2009  jewelry fashion. Leave the weight behind and have fun with bulky beads of lava stone.  Lava stones are fun beads to work with, loaded with texture and character, you can load up your design with them and not have to sacrifice you neck to the weight, or use them as accents to draw attention to the design, not so much the bead.
