Peridot colored bracelet and earring set

This is a piece I made for my colleague. I used all sterling silver findings, hooks, and connectors. the green bead is very pretty - my picture does not do any justice to it. I also made a pair of earrings that go with the piece. tfr!

This piece is made of cat's eye 8mm and 4mm rounds, silver plated connectors and toggles, and some silver plated cones. I enjoyed making this for my colleague and df Lisa J. I appreciate her doing business with me. tfr!

Lisa's Pink Bracelet

This bracelet was custom made for Lisa's mom. She wanted to have something made for her mom's birthday along with her other pink gifts for her. Once again, I was glad to make this project for her. I am positive her mom will like this piece not only because it's pretty but also because she's very thoughtful. tfr!

custom order

I am looking for some big jump ring for my friend's order. Iam not really sure where to pick them up! If you, by any chance, have any idea where to get one like these, please drop me a line or leave a comment.

I tried the local craft stores that I frequent but they don't carry links like these. I even went to the "big stores " and a bead show but to no avail.

I really hope I will be able to find one of these soon.

Pink/Purple bracelets

Here are some of the bracelets I made for my colleague, Lisa. I enjoyed stringing these drop beads using power pro. The dainty pink drop beads are just so girly, I can imagine the the little flower blooms in the spring. I also added some crystal AB glass drop beads to the bracelets and not to forget those freshwater pearls and other round beads to complement the pinks.

The purple bracelets are so similar as the pink bracelets except, of course, with it's color. I love playing with colors. I am sure she is going to love these! Now, I just have to make matching earring with the bracelets and I they will be off to go...

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Lisa for patronizing my small business! You inspire me to keep beading...

tubular crochet ~ choker and earring set

Here's my take on the mauve/black diamond/crystal order that Lorraine made last month. I strung a pattern of different colors and kinds of seed beads. I use the miyukis since they look so uniform and perfect for this project. I also used the German made top stitching thread to crochet the beads together to make this elegant piece. I did not want to put all my hard work in vain so I used the sterling silver findings to finish off my set. I am looking forward to make my own findings in the near future...






This necklace will be a Christmas gift for her daughter. I hope that she will love this for I love creating this set of jewelry.

Finally Finished

My colleague asked me to make her a necklace using a certain kind and color beads that I thought would be easy to find but I was mistaken. This fringe miyuki bead mix took me forever to get my hands on! I can't believe it!

I like to go to a "mom and pop" bead shop instead of big giant craft stores. Well, my friend over at the little mom and pop store was patiently waiting for the order to come in, including the beads I want to buy from him. It seems like he kept rescheduling the date the order comes in. I understand how things can be in the mail, therefore, I patiently waited. It took me two Wednesdays after I looked for it somewhere else.

When I finally had my hands on these little darlings, I did not waste time - I made the necklace with care, pride, and such joy as I always do with my other creations. I am happy that it look really nice when I finished the piece.

I used sterling silver for the closure.

The appreciation I've got from my colleague when I gave her her order was just a pleasure to see. The thought of knowing that someone will use what I've made for special or even casual occasion and take care of it - is just encouraging. For my colleague, I thank you for doing business with me.
