I can reproduce some of my designs in White Gold (KTW), Yellow Gold (KTY), and Gold-filled (GF). The Gold-filled I use is 70% Gold verses the usual 50%. The higher Gold content helps keep the skin healthy and free of allergic reactions. Dyane |

| Melora's focal point is this beautifully Hand -crafted Sterling Silver Flower. It has a very Asian feel to it so adding pearls, even if they are Swarovski Simulated Pearls was only natural. |
| There is something very feminine about these hollow Sterling Silver beads. They have a lacy design. I couldn't resist using Swarovski Simulated Pearls combined with Their crystals. I've added liquid silver beads in between and have strung this piece on Soft-Flex(49 strands of stainless steel encased in nylon). |
| -There is nothing delicate about the way April grabs and holds peoples' attention. This very dainty and feminine pieces with its roses has an understated elegance. |
| -Colleen is two pieces in one because it is a lariat. It can be worn as pictured with the strands doubled or the long way. The finished length is 45". You can place a custom order for a shorter version. I'm willing to take a custom order for this piece in 14kt Gold or Gold-filled |
| I love the juxtaposition of the LASER-cut Sterling Silver beads, which look like silver sand and twinkle like silver stars with rough edged Crystal Quartz chips. These components create a piece which features a strong contrast in textures. The rest of the piece features Swarovski Crystals and Sterling Silver beads with a smooth finish. The length is adjustable from 16in- 18in. The piece is strung on Soft Touch beading wire. |
| My Susie Necklace was inspired by this Sterling Sliver Frame and these square, hollow Sterling Silver beads all created by Bill Rerich of Pegasus Imports. This piece also features Swarovski Simulated Pearls adorned by more crystals. |
| - One of the things I pride myself on, is my quest to create pieces that are versatile, this is one of those pieces. Eve was created by a method Beaders call "Bead Soup". It is a process where a collection of beads are combined in a bowl and strung at random. Its a fun and spontaneous technique. This "Bead Soup" necklace contains hypoallergenic Sterling Silver leaves (& beads), Swarovski Crystals, Crystal pearls, fresh water pearls, Crystal Quartz, Czech pressed glass (beads and seed beads). Its strung on a beading wire called Soft Touch, which is 7 strands of stainless steel encased in nylon. This necklace can be worn 3 ways, with the clasp in the front featuring the pretty "dangle"(shown), twisted (with the dangle in the front or down your back), or loose with the "dangle" in the back(see other views). Its length is 18" but I welcome Special orders for shorter (16in.) or longer lengths but they cost a little more. |
| -Victoria is a piece I envision being worn by a young "Noble" woman on her Wedding Day. It is a little more elaborate than Anne yet I kept the overall look very delicate. I have combined Sterling Silver beads created by Bill Rerich of Pegasus Imports with Beads designed by Nina Cooper of Nina Designs, Swarovski Simulated Pearls and Crystals. |






| This is Mia, a collection of some of the most beautiful beads available. I have combined Venetian Hand Blown glass beads created by an American Artist, who has a studio in Venice, Italy. Hollow Artisan Sterling Silver Repousse and other patterned Sterling Silver beads add some visual interest to the necklace. I've added Onyx, Swarovski Crystals and Czech pressed glass beads to carry the colors of the Venetian glass beads throughout the necklace. The black links are coated with a black metal sealant and the links have hash marks created by LASER She started out as a simple multi-strand necklace. Oh well, this is what happens when I try to do that! The inspiration for this piece came from a strand of black chain. I always use supplies that are hypoallergenic (Nickel-free) in all my Wire Wrapped" pieces. I wanted to use this chain but I needed to find a supplier who carried a chain that had a coating on it that was permanent. Once I did, I was able to play with the idea for a multi strand piece. I don't make these very often so it was a challenge to balance each strand to create the vision I had in my head with my hands. Here is the result. The first version was three strands which were not connected but The largest glass bead made the piece off balance, somehow. So, I played with a variety of ideas and here is the result. The finished necklace is adjustable between 22in. and 24in. |
