This stripe rhondelle bead was from the African ceramic bead mix I used to create the last two pieces.   Swarovski crystals add some sparkle since the rhondelle has a matte finish.  The components are wrapped onto the leather cord with silver plated copper wire.  The necklace is 18 inches long and is attached with a small lobster clasp.  The pendant wire wrap  spiral attaching the pendant to the cord can be removed from the leather cord in order to use the cord to wear a different pendant.

I purchased a mixed bag of ceramic beads quite some time ago that have been calling me to design–it’s challenged me every time I start to work with my jewelry.  It’s crazy how many ways these beads can be used and how the different colors and shapes inspire different pieces.  The ceramic beads are with silver plated beads and wire.  The leather cord was hand wrapped with the wire and secured to the leather cord with adhesive.  The closure is handcrafted along with the swirl dangle.  The beads are strung onto wire and slightly bent to adhere closer to the wrist.  The bend in the wire also serves to hold the beads on the top of the wrist.  The bracelet is approximately 7 1/2 inches in length.

My granddaughter found lady bugs on her lawn–I designed this bracelet for her to remember them.

The bracelet measures 5 inches which should fit a child who is 2-5 yrs of age, wrist size will vary according to the child’s individual growth.

The peyote method was used to create the tube beads as a component to this bracelet.  Although the beads are small, the tube beads can be completed quite quickly.

The bracelet measures 7 1/2 inches in length.

Jasper, like agate, is a powerful healing stone. It helps us move beyond just surviving to making us glad to be alive.

The challenge with this freehand design is completing both earrings of the same size and shape.  These were created using 20 guage  silver plated copper wire.

These are classy, petite earrings can be worn anywhere.
