Makeover Bracelet
This is another bracelet makeover using a bracelet that I had found
while out on a shopping trip. Click on the picture to read more about it. |

Peyote crystal bracelet This bracelet features
Peyote stitch beaded beads using amber and salmon colored Delica beads
made by my mother, and Swarovski amber metal cast two-holed beads. A
twisted wire sterling silver toggle clasp completes this bracelet. A
wonderful combination of colors on this piece!
|
|
Sterling crystal set This set features striking
lampwork beads of blue, green, yellow, and black, Swarovski crystals, and
ornate sterling silver beads. A large nautical sterling silver toggle
clasp has been added to both pieces, and the bracelet features a fancy
prayer box that opens. A lovely set! |
|
Crystal Lampwork This necklace and bracelet set
features pink lampwork beads, Swarovski cube crystals, and a wide variety
of ornate silver beads. A nice springtime piece! |

Frangipani This intricate necklace was created
using a pattern called Frangipani and contains amber beads with a gold
toggle clasp. My mother helped me immensely as we studied the pattern to
initially make the bracelet (also shown in the Gallery) and I decided to
try the necklace. This necklace and the bracelet makes a lovely ensemble! |
|
Bracelet And here's the matching bracelet using
the Frangipani pattern. It also contains amber beads, but this piece is
embellished with a gold bead overlay. My mother made three of these
bracelets using various shades of blue beads and light sapphire Swarovski
bicone crystals, and they turned out absolutely gorgeous! Her fine
workmanship and attention to detail turned what would normally be a nice
bracelet into a true masterpiece! |
|
Charm Bracelet My dear friend recently had a baby,
so what better way to help celebrate than to put together a darling little
charm bracelet! This bracelet is packed with charms - stroller, bottle,
bear, cup, rocking horse, and all kinds of other baby charms. Very
cute! More pics below:

Makeover Bracelet The beads from this bracelet
came from a friend whose grandmother had given her a necklace from West
Germany. Unfortunately, the necklace was in disrepair, so she requested
that I use some of the beads to create a new bracelet for her. This piece
contains an antique multi-faceted 10mm crystal as the focal bead, along
with cracked glass two-tone beads and glass rondelles - absolutely
beautiful beads! I added 24K gold-plated ornate beads to accent the focal
crystal and 24K gold-plated rounds to accompany the balance of the
bracelet. I really had a lot of fun working with these wonderful vintage
beads to create a nice new bracelet for my friend to enjoy!
