This is my Tri-Versatility Collection. Tri, as in three because each of the pieces in this collection are
designed to be worn at least 3 different ways. Creating pieces this way means that no matter what neckline,
you don't have to go without an accessory.
The three views of "Eve"- 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"(view1), twisting it allows you to shorten the necklace (view2), or loose with the "dangle" in the back,
(view3). Its length is 18" but I welcome Special orders for shorter (16in.) or longer lengths but they cost a little more.

Neda has a lot to offer because this piece is 45
in. long and offers many opportunities of styles.
Since it is one long continuous strand you can
wear it with any number of necklines and don't
have to go without an accessory. It can be
worn doubled wrapped (shown on previous
page), straight (views 1 & 2), knotted or one
end looped through the other, Lariat style.
This piece was created using hypoallergenic
Sterling Silver components(chain,beads and
leaves), Swarovski Crystals, Ocean Jasper and
the tubular beads are Czech pressed glass.
Katie Details- This necklace was inspired by these beautifully
delicious Furnace Glass beads created by a local Artist. They
look like hard candy and who can resist smiling when they see
this playful color combination.
This necklace is 45 in. long and like the rest of this collection
offers 3 style options. Its like getting 3 necklaces for the price of
one. So, here is one necklace that will compliment basically any
neckline or occasion. You can wear it straight (view 1 & 2),
doubled looped( as seen on the previous page), or loop through
one end.
The design was created using hypoallergenic (Nickel-free)
Sterling Silver( beads, leaves and chain), Artisan Furnace Glass,
Strawberry Quartz (round and oval).
Elegant Delicacies Collection- Cassandra- This piece was inspired by a desire to create a
necklace using these beautiful colors. I love Taupe and when I realized that I had all these
beads that complimented each other so beautifully, I had to make this. I'm having a
wonderful time creating asymmetrical pieces that can be worn with a variety of necklines. I
love the idea because it means that you get more for your money. They are all designed to
give you options, which makes it a great investment.
Just like all the other Sterling Silver pieces I create, this one was created using
hypoallergenic (Nickel-free) Sterling Silver (beads, chain, clasp). I created this piece using
hollow Sterling Silver beads, Swarovski crystals and crystal pearls. These pearls are not your
typical glass pearls because Swarovski only produces the best quality in all they do. They
wont peel like other glass pearls. Another amazing thing about Swarovski is the fact that
they create crystals in a wide variety of shapes. It helps add visual interest yet enables me
to use the same color throughout the piece. Another great way to add interest is to change
the size of the chain. I used the same chain but I used two different sizes.
The finished length of the short strand is 18 in. and the longest one is 34 in
