Pearl Bridal Necklace  My younger sister is getting married, so I thought I would make her something a little special..
This beautiful, pearl necklace was made using fresh water, potato pearls to give an organic, natural look. I have used swarovski crystals at the front of the necklace. They graduate in tone from clear, to lilac then hot pink. At the ends of the necklace I have used some vintage, swarvski crystals and a stunning sterling silver, floral, toggle and loop clasp. This is all traditionally knotted onto silk thread to complete the look.My sister was thrilled with the necklace and will be wearing at her wedding.I will be reproducing another necklace, just like this one for sale soon. Keep a look out on the necklaces gallery for more information. |
18th Birthday Necklace It was my youngest sister's 18th birthday this year. To mark the occasion I made this necklace for her. This was made to go with an outfit that she wore to a hen night party. The theme was 60's and she was wearing black & white so this set her outfit off perfectly.
The centre-piece is a lampwork pendant. This is a work of art in itself. No two pendants are the same. To compliment this, I threaded white seed beads interspaced with black tourmalines and snowflake obsidians on one side of the necklace. The other side has black seed beads and two different sizes of moonstones. I have used a sterling silver toggle and loop set for the catch. |

Pirate Bracelet  This bracelet was made for a young customer of mine who is mad about all things piratey!
This is different from all of my other bracelets as it was made using square stitch rather than peyote. This is a more time consuming stich, but is the strongest off loom stitch I know of.
I hope to add more square stich bracelets soon. |
| Racing Green Bracelet  The webmaster of Violet Fusion wanted a bracelet with racing stripes on a dark green background, and that's what he got!
The green beads are firepolished so they have an iridescent finish.
|
| Red and Black Check Bracelet 
This peyote stich bracelet has a really funky, checkered design.
I tried this design in a few different colours, but the red and black combination was my favourite.

Black with Garnets Collar Necklace I actually lost count of how many garnets are in this necklace! I know there's over 120.
This was a treat for myself. I made chains for the back of this necklace, that dangle down my back. These chains are made with garnet rounds and heamatite stars.

Pearl Swirl with Pink Earrings 
What a difference a colour change makes.
The same earring as before, but with a totally different look.
This time baby pink, lined beads have been used. These beads have the colour applied to only the inner most core of the bead, leaving the outer layers clear. The outer layer is then firepolished to give an iridescent sheen.

Success in Art Bind Rune A very personal bind rune.
I made a special set of bind runes for me and my family. This is my rune. I wanted success in art. So combining two different runes I came up with this bind rune to suit my personal needs.
This rune, is made in the same way as the runic keyrings that I have for sale. I have added a sterling silver bail to the top and threaded it onto some leather thong.
