In addition to embroidery, sewing and quilting, I enjoy jewelry beading. On this page I'll share pictures of some items I've made. I've made more hand crafted jewelry than I can wear, so the necklace sets shown below are for sale. Each necklace includes two sets of earrings. All are one of a kind. They are made from beading items purchased from local stores. Therefore, I cannot easily make duplicates. I tried to avoid plastic beads. Instead I used glass, ceramic, metal and a few items are silver or silver plated. The semi-precious turquoise is real but I suspect it is treated to enhance its color.

I find spring clasps at the back of the neck difficult to work so I much prefer a barrel clasp. Toggle clasps are even more finger friendly. I find toggle clasps attractive in their own right and when located in the front they are the most finger friendly way of closing a necklace.

The toggle type clasp for this necklace is in front making it especially easy to put on or take off. There are two pendant stones supplied, easily exchanged since each has a spring clasp.

The large pendant is turquoise, the smaller is ceramic. Not sure about the blue beads in the necklace, they could be either :-)
