Designs in Shades of Blue

Blue is one of my favorite colors and with the right mix of stones can make incredible designs. These two designs mix shades of blue in a deep navy almost sapphire colored crystals and a mix of natural stone.

I started with rectangular stones in exotic California Palm Wood Jasper. It has beautiful coloring in navy, tan, beige, purple, rust and black. To highlight the deep blue I added in irregular shaped freshwater cultured pearls in a soft yellow color. The faceted of the blue and clear crystals captures the light and accents against the jasper and pearls for a stunning necklace.

What’s different about this second necklace is that it is actual two strands; to get a bit of a ‘cluster’ effect I strung the pearls on two wires and then both through the larger crystals. These clusters are irregular shaped freshwater cultured pearls of yellow, tan and eggshell. The necklace is all graduated faceted rondelle crystals colored in two shades of blue, mostly a deep navy almost sapphire blue and then a few lighter blue at the base.

Chic Blended Navy Crystals

More and more I’m working with crystals; either in pure crystal designs or a mixture between natural stone and crystals. Crystals are a very versatile bead and I like them because they come in an array of colors, blending easily with just about any jewelry design.

In this particular necklace I did a double strand to get more of a unique look with the pearls, but not charmed. I’ve blended together a graduated strand of metallic navy blue, almost sapphire colored faceted rondelle crystals and add a few light blue crystals at the bottom of the necklace. Pewter star fancy bead caps have been added to the crystals and little clear round crystal spacers are between for a bit more ‘bling’. Between I’ve mixed again are freshwater cultured pearl irregular nuggets in colors of yellow, champagne and cream.


Pearl: Purity, faith, charity, innocence, integrity, focus, wisdom, spirituality, sincerity, fertility.

Striking Mix of Bold Colors

Ok, I have to admit that this design in the bold colors of red, black, white and silver are extremely striking together. The design is new for me and I’ve taken a mix of different techniques to combine and put this piece together. And so far it’s begun to be a big hit and I’ve been asked to create more in different colors and styles!

The necklace focal center is designed to stay stationary on either a silk cord or a ribbon cord. I’ve used in this case a large chunk of coral (dyed) in a thick oval shape; then surrounded it in single coils. To accent the pendant, I’ve hand charmed 36 pieces different shapes of stones coral, freshwater cultured pearls, black agate, and Swarovski crystals; between I’ve added a couple of double spiral coils and then capped the entire piece into a stationary position with wired coils and swirls that becomes part of the design.

The whole piece is quite labor intensive taking quite a bit of time to design, mix/match colors and stones, then hand charm each one and either wire, bail or get creative with the pendant. The matching earrings are the same double coils and stones from the necklace – all wire is done in non-tarnish silver wire.




Keep watching as I’ll be doing many more of these inspirations from the many pendants, stones and metals that I have!

Started as One Became Another

This design started out with the black Agates, Turquoise nuggets and pendant. It just never really ‘spoke’ or had that ‘pop’ as the designs usually did, it just kinda rubbed against the grain, so to speak. So, I took it apart, dug through the beads and came up with this.

Designs in freshwater Pearls, between silvertone star spacers, black Agates that are almost translucent with white/cream banding through some, and highlighted by a nice mother-of-pearl pendant; nice thing about the pendant is that it is smooth on one side and the blister pearls have been left on the other, gives it a ‘two-in-one’ piece.

Wisdom in Pearls

Next to diamonds, I think Pearls are a woman’s second choice or best friend. There is just something about the sophistication, nostalgic innocence, and classy look of pearls either simply alone or stung into any jewelry design. They can bring a dull necklace incorporated among stones or crystals and give it a trendy or classy look. Don’t get me wrong, my single strand grandmother’s pearls are still the best thing, especially since they have been handed down thru the family.






This design has freshwater pearls strung together with crystals, among goldtone caps and Wood Jasper stones; a 2 strand set that is complete with a dangle set of fishhook earrings in the same stones and gold caps.






Pearl: Purity, faith, charity, innocence, integrity, focus, wisdom, spirituality, sincerity, fertility.
Jaspers: Protection, nurturing, joy, awareness; balancing of physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual energies.
