Chips and seed beads necklace with glass leaves

by on Sunday, August 9th, 2009

Another seed bead and chips necklace, this one with gold-colored flowers and glass leaves.

The seed beads are gold and green and silver-lined, and the chips are amethyst and unakite. There is also a matching bracelet of memory wire with gold/brown seed beads chips and glass leaves, but the picture that includes the bracelet is not very good…

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.

Seed bead and chips necklace with pendant

by on Saturday, August 8th, 2009

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.

Necklace with seashell flower pendant

by on Saturday, August 8th, 2009

At first I was working mainly with seed beads and other small beads on wire. This is one of my early designs.

It is based on seed beads with small glass beads and natural crystal chips, and with a seashell flower as a pendant. The dark seed beads are all of the same metallic grey color, but the light ones are mixed shades of grey, white and silver lined crystal. The small dark glass beads are black pyramids with AB finish, and the larger beads are rectangular glass beads with metallic grey finish. The clasp is a small toggle clasp with details.

Edited, updated with a slightly better picture.
