These are some of my favorite pieces that I have ever created. Most are one-of-a-kind. Many of the lovely and intricate jewelry pieces shown here are those that I have created while relaxing on vacation when I have nothing to do with my day but sit by the pool and watch my boys swim while I play with beads! If you have any questions, please don`t hesitate to ask.

#145 The Green Eyed Monster Peridot and Gold Necklace
This is a really wonderful piece, and the green eyed monster may rear its head to all who see you wearing it!! I created it while on vacation at a lovely little in called The Apple Farm in San Luis Obispo, California. So it comes with a great relaxed and peaceful bit about it.
Each of the hand-faceted, natural colored peridot beads are individually hand-wrapped in 14 karat gold-filled wire. There are 199 invididually wrapped peridot sparklies!
The necklace measures a fabulous 35 1/2". A great opera length necklace. The fun thing is that you can double it up to make a double short necklace. You can also wrap it 4 times around your wrist for a fabulous quadruple strand bracelet. I wear 7 1/2" bracelets and the quadruple wrapped bracelet is a nice loose fit on me (it doesn't fall off but has a good movement to it). If you are skinny (which I am not :) you may be able to wrap it 5 times.
This is a one of a kind piece. I hope you love it as much as I enjoyed making it on my wonderfully relaxing vacation with my family.

#146 Sparkly Faceted Black Spinel and Etched Shell Necklace
Okay...I have to admit that I had never heard of black spinel before I found these lucious beads. *blush* My oh my...I am on the look out for it now. These gorgeous natural colored, hand-faceted black spinel beads certainly have a gorgeous sophistication and sparkle to them!
I have surrounded the 59 black spinel beads with sterling silver daisies from Bali. I individually hand-wrapped each black spinel bead/set in sterling silver wire. The front drop is an amazing etched shell pendant with whispy leaves.
The necklace measures approximately 20 1/2". The beautiful pendant measures just over an inch long by about 3/4" wide. The clasp features my signature handcrafted sterling silver heart dancing with black spinel and daisies.
This beautiful necklace was created while my family and I visited a lovely town, San Luis Obispo, California on vacation. I usually design my favorite and most intricate pieces while on vacation...when I have the time to relax and just sit and create. I can still feel the fresh breezes off of the lovely mountains.

#13 Ocean Breeze Glass Lampwork Beaded Bracelet
This is one of my very favorite bracelets that I have ever created. The truly beautiful individually handcrafted glass lampwork beads are designed by an amazing artist in Australia, Lorraine. This piece actually won an award from her! Her breezy blue and sea green beads inspired this bracelet. We live here by the ocean on the California Coast, and the beads are just the color of the highlights in the ocean at Jalama Beach on a sparkly sunny day.
The beautiful glass beads are surrounded by individually created sterling silver swirls and spirals as well as gorgeously sparkly Swarovski Austrian crystals. Each piece of this bracelet is artisan crafted.
This bracelet is adorned with:
* 9 handmade glass lampwork beads
* 37 Swarovski Austrian Crystals
* 4 handmade sterling silver spirals
* 4 handmade sterling silver swirls
* 52 sterling silver Bali daisies
The bracelet measures approximately 10" including the sterling silver adjustment chain. The bracelet can clasp at any length from 8" - 10" If you need me to shorten it a bit, please just let me know. When figuring out the length you need please add a bit extra because the lovely glass beads will take up a bit of the length.
This lovely piece could also be used as an anklet.
If you have any questions about this gorgeous bracelet please just let me know.

#147 Tickled Pink - Tourmaline and Silver Necklace
This piece is where my passion in wrapping teenie tiny beads started. On my 33rd birthday we packed up the kiddos and headed to El Capitan just north of Santa Barbara.
I made sure I packed all of my "interesting" and lovely beads that I never had time to work with. When we arrived it was a beautiful location on a stream up the way from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. No TV...fabulous! We started the fire and played games with the kiddos.
While they were playing a fun marble game I decided to break out the beads. I found this gorgeous strand of natural colored faceted pink tourmaline in my goodies box and knew I had to do something with it! I decided to hand-wrap it in sterling silver. The beads are a gorgeous pink color that starts light at the clasp and moves to a deep pink at the front. Truly stunning!
The necklace features 60 individually hand-wrapped pink tourmaline beads with 3 more on my signature handcrafted heart at the clasp.
The necklace measures approximately 21 3/4". The fun thing about it is that you can wear it as a necklace or wrap it three times around your wrist for a stunning pink bracelet. I normally wear a 7 1/2" bracelet and this piece fist snuggly (not too tight, though) on my wrist wrapped three times.

#142 Sunshine on My Wrist Makes Me Happy
Oh how I adore recreating things! I found an amazingly funky necklace at a gypsy store in my hometown of Lompoc, California. The beads are a nifty translucent crackly plastic in bright orange and pale orange. The necklace was incredibly long and had more chain than beads. It just simply had to be turned into something new! It screamed B*R*A*C*E*L*E*T at me when I saw it! So, using only original pieces that were in the long necklace, I reconstructed it into this fabulous adjustable bracelet.
The bracelet measures approximately 9 3/4". However, it can be clasped along the back chain down to 7 1/2". The fabulous vintage plastic beads on this bracelet are quite large (3/4" for the large beads and 1/2" for the small beads) and thus a longer bracelet than normal is required. So the nice long length and adjustability will ensure it is simply perfect for your wrist...no matter the size!
I used up most of the beads in the necklace to create this bracelet, so this is a one-of-a-kind piece.
