beadwoven rings


What will be happens if I weave two triangles in peyote stitch and then connect them together? May be it will be a rhomb.. and it was, embellished with swarovski crystal. 


Comfortable and lovely ring. Used Toho amethyst seed beads and white hex Delica size 11/o. Cute!


One more ring in other color - peach. Really, these peach beads are transparent yellow and pink lined. 


I will weave them more..

Sensational Bead Embroidery by Sherry Serafini


The book is amazing! This collection of beautiful designs will inspire anyone who appreciates beadwork. Gorgeous detailed photos and clear descriptions. The book includes 25 projects that vary from simplistic to extremely complicated. There is much to be learned from trying out the different techniques. This book is a great addition to my jewelry making library.

Using Toho seed beads size 11/o and Nymo thread. Clasp will be toggle bar with a loop or button. I don't know yet.

freshwater pearl set


This set was made for a custom order. I have used big freshwater pearls size 8-9 mm and some rondelles with green zircones. The earring measures about 3 cm including sterling silver leverback ear wire. The necklace is about 62 cm long with sterling silver lobster clasp. 


All pearls are knotted, there is a knot in between each and every pearl. That knot does a couply great things: It keeps the pearls separated slightly so they don't rub against each other and break off the outer shell. The knot also keeps your pearls safe in case you accidentally break the necklace. If the strand breaks, only one pearl falls off the strand, instead of 62 pearls rolling all over the floor!
