Purple Amethyst Bracelet, Wire Wrapped Bracelet


A lovely handmade wire wrapped bracelet using stunning amethyst gemstones, powder rose Swarovski Elements crystal pearls, frosted quartz  and finished with handcrafted connectors I made with antique bronze craft wire.
I love the combination of the soft vintage pink and purple tones with antiqued brass.

This vintage style purple amethyst bracelet is available at my Etsy shop.

Unique Bookmark, Wire Bookmark, Kaiku


A blushing lilac
unaware of dawning day
dreaming of first love....

Kaiku is a wire bookmark that I designed without having any idea how it was going to look until it was completed and I am very pleased how it turned out to be.  The purple beads complements the black tone of the metal bookmark and the silver adds glitter to complete this one-of-a-kind purple bookmark.

Blue Crystal Bookmark, Mermaid Bookmark, Eriko


This blue crystal bookmark is handcrafted from stainless steel craft wire and wire wrapped with sapphire blue chinese crystals.  A silver plated filigree charm sways gently from a beaded dangle, which is suspended from a silver-plated mermaid bookmark.



I would be a mermaid fair
I would sing to myself the whole of the day
With a comb of pearl I would comb my hair
And still as I combed I would sing and say
"Who is it loves me? Who loves me not?"

Pearl and Gemstone Bracelet, Custom Order, Norah


This was a custom order to re-style this bracelet that has been in my friend's jewelry box for many years; left unworn and forgotten until her recent spring cleaning of her jewelry collection.


I love the dark gold, white and the green combination of the double strand bracelet.
 It is a reminiscent of  the falling leaves of autumn.  

I have to admit re-doing a bracelet using beads that was not of my choice was not an easy matter as I thought it would be but .......

after much tweaking......VIOLA!!!!


I added an acrylic flower which has a dark gold finished as the focal point and started re-arranging the beads  around it.  The multiple materials in warm hues creates a pearl and gemstone bracelet full of texture and colors.


Materials used : 
citrine chips, freshwater pearls in green, dark gold and white, 
an acrylic flower finished, a brass-plated s-hook clasp.

I am happy to say that she LOVED it!!!!

Amethyst Bracelet, Wire Wrapped Bracelet, Custom Order, Sze May


This amethyst bracelet  was a stretchy bracelet of amethyst and clear quartz rondelles.
A custom order to re-vamp an old bracelet.


I added a large nugget of african amethyst from my personal stash as a focal bead.  For color, I added some Swarovski Elements golden shadow rondelles and topaz faceted rounds.  I did some "filigree" wirework on the topaz for texture and drama.  





All in all, the wire wrapped bracelet had the vintage-like look and color that I was aiming for.

She is in love with the bracelet and will be giving me more of her old jewelry to re-style!!!!
Yeah!!! Nothing beats a happy and satisfied customer.

Crystal Wrap Bracelet, Spring Blossoms



This crystal wrap bracelet is inspired by the colors of flowers I saw in a picture from a book of flowers, 
Bright  yellow and sunny orange.  It is like a jolt of sunshine!!!  Happiness and Spring comes  to my mind....
So to celebrate this jolt of sunshine, 
I designed this delicate bracelet using chinese crystals in jonquil and sun colors for Happiness...
and added some beautiful grass green maple Czech leaves for the Spring......

Hence; my Spring Blossoms.
