This necklace is made from pink opals and eye pins. the opal beads are round, oval, and tooth-shaped, and they have been put together in a chain with the eye pins. It is not visible on this picture, but the clasp is a silver-colored toggle clasp decorated with leafs.

The teeth in the necklace have been selected so that the largest tooth is in the middle and the smallest are close to the clasp, and they are interspersed between the round and oval beads. Closest to the clasp there are only the round and oval beads, and no teeth.

This necklace is made from black agate, onyx, amethyst and sodalite beads and nuggets threaded on waxed string and knotted together. The large carved butterfly is eye-catching and serves as the center of the necklace with the trailing threads with the smaller pendants below.

At the first sight, the necklace looks all black, but at a closer look you can see the blue of the soldalite chips, the purple of the amethyst beads, and the shifting colors of the larger nuggets. The silver-colored toggle clasp is also in the shape of a butterfly to match the larger stone butterfly.

A dark chain necklace made from three different chains, sodalite nuggets, and with a large sodalite donut pendant.

Sodalite is a very nice semi-precious stone, and I love the mix of colors. This is a closeup of the pendant.

I have also made a matching bracelet for this necklace. The bracelet is made from the same materials, with the addition of the padlock and key toggle clasp.

This necklace is made from amethyst nuggets, amethyst beads, red and blue organza ribbons, string, a copper toggle clasp, and a carved amethyst flower. The beads are positioned by the knots in the string, and the organza ribbon is threaded through the strings in places.

This necklace was inspired by a design contest at Sirlig Pärlor and is made to resemble the colors of autumn with soft reds, orange, and yellows mixed in with a little bit of green and darker red.

The base of the necklace are rectangular nuggets of carnelian and yellow-white alabaster with small round beads of unakite between the nuggets. Each nugget is surrounded by chips of unakite and red agate, and the necklace is made from illusion cord and has a copper toggle clasp.

In the front, the red agate coin bead is framed by a couple of carnelian and alabaster nuggets and some unakite and red agate chips and beads.

This necklace is one among my latest work. It is made from matte jaspis and large polished tiger-eye chips that are linked together with eye-pins, and with a large unpolished tiger-eye nugget as a pendant and with a cream-colored organza ribbon wrapped around the necklace.

The metal parts are all silver-colored, and the clasp is a simple heart-shaped toggle clasp.

This is a  necklace and bracelet kit made from white and silver-lined crystal seed beads, round metal beads and a small metal flower, hematite chips, and white quartz and agate nuggets.

The bracelet is made from memory wire with the same seed beads, round metal beads, metal flower findings, and hematite chips as the necklace, and is the only part of the kit that I have left.
