Bead caps and disc beads are fine silverplated copper and the chain (silverplated) features large hammered rings and mother and son style chain. 17 inches / 43cm. Very summery or for those who are summery by nature!

Three gorgeous Isabelle Anderson pillow artglass beads (15mm hole to hole) shown off by dyed jade round beads (14mm) and fine silverplated copper beads. The chain (silverplated) is a lovely open mother and son design with feature silverplated large hammered rings. The fit is 16 inches. Stunning after summer rain!

A beautiful round artglass bead by Isabelle Anderson is the focal point for this unique necklace. The metal disc beads are fine silverplated copper and the green softly faceted stone beads are grossular garnet (often called african jade). The 'arms' of the necklace are fine silverplated copper chain in a chunky eye-catching style with a toggle clasp. This is a generous fit necklace at 21" (53.5cm). This is an example of my phoenix range - joyously creating with beautiful components.

This piece features handcrafted glass focal beads by the wonderful Lorna of Pixie Willow Designs. Her style is distinctive, colourful and fun. I've added some 'heavy metal' to her Heart bead focal and discs. The metal beads are gorgeous copper beads that have been plated with fine silver. These are excellent quality and give this necklace a lush feel. Russian amazonite and african turquoise beads carry the colour through. The necklace is 16 inches (40.5cms). Fabulous!

This necklace represents for me the archetype of jewellery. The length of the necklace is a pleasant regular mix of turquoise tube beads and black seed beads with sterling silver clasp. The pendant is a handmade hinged cross made in Ethiopia in a traditional design. I love the organic feel of this necklace. The pendant is a base metal. 16 inches (40.5cm). This design would suit a guy or a gal - someone who has their own style whatever the fashion weather dictates.

I was instantly attracted to the pendant which is an Ethiopian base metal enamelled design. The pendant is roughly 5cm long by 4cm wide (or 2x1.5 inches) and glorious. I've created a long necklace of roughly 24 inches (or 60 cms) with an eclectic selection of beads including dyed jade, handcrafted glass beads, fine silver plated ceramic disc spacers, semi precious beads (grossular garnet rounds and turquoise tubes) and jet black seed beads. The clasp is sterling silver. This necklace will get you noticed!

Fancy something different? I fell in love with these striking artisan polymer clay rounded tab beads (4cm long). They have a peacock eye design in muted gold, green, read, grey and silver colours are shown off with goldfilled wavy tubes, goldfilled rounded disc beads and tunesian old gold glass beads. The clasp is gold filled lobster clasp. 17 inches or 43cm. Although the beads are large polymer clay is a light and durable material.

A trio of gorgeous greeny turquoise seamine handcrafted glass beads (Jackie at A String of Beads) are shown off in an understated way using brass spacers and metalic ceramic beads. Strung on faux leather with brass end rings and clasp. 17 inches or 43 cm.
