The "Oops" Necklace

I was asked to create an original piece in these colors.  I previously posted this pendant and planned to ask the customer what type of necklace she wanted....well, it became the "Oops" necklace because she wanted a bracelet instead!  I just laughed and finished this pendant and necklace to my liking.  It is now available to be purchased for $90.

The bracelet  is what I have now created for the customer.  The center is a Paua shell instead of a stone, making it lighter weight for easy wearing.

Long Spiral Necklace

This is the longest necklace I have created so far.  I started with the yellow / gold / tan color scheme and just kept on going.  This necklace can be worn in spring to brighten up an outfit or it can be added to an autumn outfit to add warmth.  It is available to be purchased for $20.

Keeping Summer Alive with a Garden Bracelet

This is one of my favorite bracelets.  I wore one to a meeting last spring and left without it - yes, someone purchased it off my arm during the meeting!  I made this one to replace the original and a second one that was ordered in the same color scheme.  I also did a custom one with more pink in it.  I can modify the width, length and color scheme.  Custom orders for this bracelet range from $60-75, depending on personal choices.

Free form pendant

A good customer requested a free form pendant in black, silver and gold.  This is what a I made for the pendant.  I will be adding a necklace after I talk to her about what length, thickness and style she would like.  That's the fun of having a custom piece created just for you - you get to make the choices and I get to do the creation!

Vines

These vine necklaces were made with the same pattern, but the accent beads were varied.  The earthy copper tones make me think of fall.  One is spoken for, but the other is for sale.  As always, I can make you one in your choice of colors for only $12.

Triangle bead necklaces

Both of these necklaces use triangle beads.  They are difficult to find, but I love to work with them because they provide a unique look.  The necklace on the left was completed with soft edge triangle beads in a modified spiral herringbone stitch.



Both necklaces are spoken for at this time, but if you like the look of the triangle beads, send me an email and I can custom make a necklace for you in whatever colors you like for $30.



The necklace below was completed with sharp edge triangle beads also done in a modified spiral herringbone stitch.  The sharp edge triangle beads provide a more defined edging to the necklace.

Twisted bracelet

This is one pattern I have made 4 different times in different colors and some modifications.  This is the first attempt with the dark green, deep purple and a dark navy.  It is available to purchase for $40.
