Dangle Earrings for Alison's wedding

Alison ordered simple and dangling Crystal earrings for her wedding.
I used SWAROVSKI crystal beads #5040, #5301 and #6010 drop beads. #6010 drop beads' facets look like a genuine gem.

I chose Crystal AB and Crystal colour combination. I like to use the beads which have a different colour effect on same colour base.
The synergy creates an effect neither would achieve on its own.

F.Y.I. Crystal AB (Aurora Borealis) was made for Christian Dior's special order.

Jewelley set for Cassie's wedding

My next-door neighbor and gardening guru Cassie ordered a set for her wedding.
I designed a flower motif for the necklace inspired by the embroidery of her dress,
chose blue colours which match her beautiful blue eyes. I added some dangle details on the bracelet and earrings. The bridesmaids and the flower girls wore these.

"Splendid Line" bracelet for Sandra's wedding

This bracelet was a custom order for Sandra's wedding. She liked my "Splendid Line" and ordered a double line to make it more special. I liked the double line idea so I made some with another colour. I like to get new design ideas from customers.

I used silver coloured fire polish beads for the bottom base and set SWAROVSKI crystal beads #5301 Crystal and some Crystal Silver Shade for the design point. Crystal Silver Shade is one of my favorite colours.
It achieves a platinum effect on the crystals so I like to use this colour, especially for bridal jewellery.

"Splendid Line" choker

I made this choker for my husband's sister Adrienne as a birthday gift a couple years ago. The pattern is the same as the "Splendid Line", but I changed one of the bead's size to make it look different and special from the others.






matching bracelet

She liked this colour combination of pale pink, topaz browns and bronze. She told me the colours match a lot of different items in her wardrobe amazingly well.

Chandelier Earrings

These chandelier earrings were made to match with the "Splendid Line" bracelet (below). These earrings have the same motif on the top as the bracelet.

I used three SWAROVSKI crystal drop beads #6010 for dangling.I love these #6010 drop beads because they have beautiful facets that create a lot of sparkles around your face.

Hi!

This is my very first time posting a blog so I've chosen my favorite piece "Splendid Line" bracelet to show first.

The "Splendid Line" bracelet is one of the most popular pieces in my collection. It's actually a very simple design but shows absolutely gorgeous.

I made the bottom part with bronze colour fire polish beads first then set SWAROVSKI crystal beads #5301 on it. All bead parts are woven with fishing line.
