Matching set of necklace, bracelet and earrings made of silver-lined blue and crystal seed beads, small faceted glass beads with dark blue core, small blue silver-foil hearts, dark heart-shaped toggle clasps, and small angel charms.

Blue angel necklace

The bracelet and the necklace both have the angel charms and follow the same pattern with the seed beads and glass beads, although on a smaller scale with the bracelet.

The earrings are made from hat pins, silver-lined blue hearts and seed beads.

Blue silver-foiled heart earrings

The angel charms are made from flower-shaped glass beads, silver-colored metal wings, and blue faceted glass beads, that have been put together with a hat pin.

A mix of purple and blue glass beads, red and blue fresh water pearls with and without bead cages, a couple of blue catseye hearts, and heart links from a chain made this necklace. There are also some garnet and sodalite chips mixed in among the rest of the beads.

The necklace is based on eye pins that are put together to a chain together with the heart links.

Bracelet made of memory wire with curved metal pipes, blue and red glass beads, pearl cages, small hematite hearts and stars, small metal flowers, and a small metal teddy bear and a fish charm at each end.

This necklace was among the first I made from larger glass beads rather than basing it on seed beads. It is not quite symmetrical since I used a bead mix when I created it, and not all of the beads where exactly like each other…

It is made from dark grey and black glass beads, some with white or gold decrations, large metal spiral findings, and with a leaflike light metal pendant. I no longer have this necklace so this is the only picture available.

It is not obvious from this picture, but the chips are made of light green jade, so the color scheme is light green and metallic grey/brown.

The clasp and metal beads have an antique silver finish, and the glass bead leaves are metallic brown. The seed beads and larger glass beads are dark metallic grey, and the black pyramid beads have an AB finish.

Updated with better picture.

This is another of my early designs, with different semiprecious chips combined with seed beads and a bronze colored pendant.

If I remember correctly the chips are amethyst, jaspis, tigereye, and hematite, but I am not sure since I do no longer have the necklace available.

The seed beads vary in color from gold and brown to silver and black, both in the necklace itself and in the pendant.
