Triangle Bead Necklace

This necklace is similar to two others I have posted that are sold.  I have found this pattern to be liked by many customers.  This particular necklace uses a 'bead soup' mixture of three different color triangle beads for the tubular part of the necklace.  The accent beads are tiger's eye and have lots of detail in the striations of browns and golds.  The new creation is available for $50.

Lentil Beads - my newest passion!

I have begun using 6 mm lentil beads that are drilled off center. This allows the beads to "stand up" to give the bracelet extra texture.  The top bracelet is 1 inch wide and lays flat on the arm.  The colors remind me of sea glass.  The bottom bracelet is a tube with a magnetic clasp.  The colors range from some gray to black and amethyst.  It's perfect with a plum colored sweater or blouse.  Both bracelets are available to purchase for $50 each.

Chunky Brown Free Form Bracelet

This bracelet has a 1.5 inch brown and cream colored Jasper stone in its center.  I created it for a customer who was looking for something large and chunky in fall colors.  The free form portion includes hues of brown, gold and some hints of purple.  I will be shipping it out early this week, but if anyone is interested in a similar bracelet, contact me and I'll create something specific to your likes.

Peyote Tube bracelets

I created these peyote tube bead bracelets today to replace some that I sold at the Farmer's Market this summer.  The top bracelet that closes with a magnetic clasp, combines black and deep green colors.  The bottom bracelet that closes with a metal toggle type clasp is in light brown, bronze and gold.  Both bracelets have crystal accenting the larger beads.

  These bracelets are available for purchase for $25 each, or 2 for $40.

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.
