Turquoise, Emerald and Pearl Necklace in brass
Handcut brass necklace with turquoise and emerald chip beads and freshwater pearl beads. It is from my Flower Power range and there are different shaped flowers hanging from the pendant. I took this design from a necklace I made 25 years ago! it was made from copper and then enameled, the main piece was black the rest multi coloured. I don’t do much enameling now, I must fire my kiln up and dust off my enamels!

Brass,topaz,aquamarine,apatite and kyanite necklace
This handcut brass necklace has apatite, topaz , aquamarine and kyanite beads, lots of lovely shades of blue. It also has a gold plated chain and gold plated beads. It is from a collection I did a few years ago, I didn’t name them then but do now, it makes life easier when do price list, pics and loading onto my website. It is also fun to thinking up names for each collection although it can be quite hard, it has to sound right and not to silly.

Brass,garnet and black pearl
This necklace is from my Love Hurts range, it is made of brass and is all handcut by my fair hands! I have used faceted garnet beads and black freshwater pearls, the pendant is a heart shape and there is a handcut brass heart hanging next to the clasp. I used longer garnet beads in the ‘chain’ of the necklace to echo the long brass pieces.
