HAND BEADED JEWELRY Jewelry is all hand beaded using my own designs. Most items are one of a kind patterns or color combinations. I use primarily Czech Pressed Glass, manmade Cat’s Eye beads or Cloisonne. I frequently use small imitation pearl beads to accent the shade variations in the beads. Occasionally I will purchase other beads to make something that is completely different. I try to combine various shapes, sizes and textures to create unique pieces. Necklaces are typically about 19 inches long and are strung on a nylon covered wire. They use a lobster claw style clasp. Bracelets are about 8 inches and are made on an elastic line unless otherwise requested. The line is prestretched and then stretched again when the knots are triple tied. All elastic will stretch out over time. By stretching it first, the bracelet will not loose its shape as fast since a lot of the slack is taken out in the beginning. Earrings use fish hook style wire commonly referred to as a French coil and ball earwire. They are made out of surgical steel and then gold or silver plated. The drop of the earrings vary in length from ½ inch to 4 inches. All metal pieces in the Necklaces, Bracelets or Earrings are either Gold-Plated or Silver-Plated. Gold filled or Sterling silver earwires can be used for an extra $3.00 charge upon request. Jewelry Extensions are made with Gold Filled or Sterling Silver chains. All jewelry is individually priced based on difficulty to create and prices of the individual pieces. Please call or email me with any questions. Custom Orders are welcome. Necklaces and Bracelets can be made to any length. Earrings can be converted to clip-on, post or lever-back by request for $1.00 more. I will also use your own beads or old jewelry to make you a new creation. |
