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 Delicasies 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 beautifuly, 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
