I created this glass seed bead necklace created using a spiral stitch, combining gold and brown silver-lined beads. Intricately woven for a beautiful, flexible necklace. Finished with a brass toggle clasp. |

| "Memories of Africa"  (click on photo for larger image) |
An intricately woven seed bead necklace originally made in South Africa about 12 years ago. I was asked by a client to repair it - the cotton thread used to create this spectacular design was beginning to disintegrate. Here is a picture of it after I repaired it and replaced a few missing beads. |

| "Emerald Beach" 
(click on photo for larger image) | I was asked by a client to create a jewelry item using a piece of emerald sea glass that she had collected on a special day at the beach. I set the glass piece inside a freeform sterling silver bezel/cage and centered the pendant on a sterling silver chain with Czechoslovakian crystal glass accent beads. |

| "Amber Splendour" 
(click on photo for larger image) | A new client ordered a custom-designed necklace & earring set using amber chips and silver beads. After confirming the details, I created the earrings and designed the necklace to match. The amber is shown off beautifully by the contrasting silver-lined bugle and seed beads. The necklace is finished with a hand-crafted, original sterling silver chain and wire links with amber chips to create an extension for adjustability. |

| "Midnight" 
(click on photo for larger image) | A good friend requested a custom-designed pendant. She chose the blue goldstone cabochon, and I set it within a hand-crafted, sterling silver wire bezel. The pendant is suspended from a delicate, sterling silver figaro chain. |
