Braided green glass beads ribbon necklace and earrings

This stunning necklace set proves that you don’t have to spend a wallet full of money to own a showstopping piece of jewelry.

Handcrafted from green glass beads mounted in a twisted braid and accented by silvertone spiral medallions, the necklace has a satin ribbon tieback.  You can vary the length depending on whether you want it long or close to the neck.  The braiding of the beads creates many facets on which light can reflect off of, to make the necklace appear glowing!  The earrings are a gorgeous match with delicate teardrop shaped glass beads mounted on hooks.

Blue abalone shell, wow this pieces is just stunning! the blue is, well so blue with shades of pink and purple. Then you have the darker blue lines and puddles which remind me of the sand at low tide. I thought little white  freshwater pearls would be perfect with this glorious piece of ‘shell artwork’ all mixed up with some shiny silver!

Although silver jewelry is enormously popular these days, there is a classic elegance about gold that cannot be replaced.

After making numerous pieces of silver and silvertone jewelry with assorted gemstones, we decided to revert to classic gold. Our creation combines a 24K gold plated pendant with brown Jasper beads and fashion goldtone bead accents for a timeless look.

Worn with a simple summer dress or a little black dress, the necklace and earring set will be the perfect accent. By combining gemstones and fashion beads we have created a stunning yet affordable piece of jewelry. Simple classic combination always make for outstanding pieces.

kyanite necklace

I bought this kyanite ‘slice’ because it looks so beautiful, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it! I decided to set it in silver but it was a truly awkward shape so i added some keshi pearls to the setting. It looked pretty good so I then had to decide what next to do. I thought a double strand of silver chain,keshi pearl,apatite and faceted black onyx would look good but it needed something else?  12 strands of silver chain,apatite,keshi pearl,faceted black onyx and really gorgeous black opals, all handing from the pendant of the necklace, did I mention that it became a necklace?
