Twisted Herringbone Necklace with Glass Heart Pendant-SOLD

Black Twisted Tubular Herringbone Necklace with a Black and Turquoise Glass Heart Pendant

17" long

It's been a long time since I put any jewelry on here and there is a very good reason........I've been beading!!!  This necklace took me forever to make, it's my first ever beaded necklace using the twisted tubular herringbone stitch.  At first I thought this was the hardest thing I've ever made and wondered what on earth did I get myself into but once I got the hang of it I found it to be almost as relaxing as making chainmail.  I'm hooked on beading and am currently working on 3 different bracelets.  Check back in over the next few weeks.  I will also have some Husker bracelets for you lady fans out there.

Triple Flower Helm (Parallel) Chainmaille Necklace

This necklace is made using the Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Weave weaved into 3 flowers. I used sterling silver wire for the 75-18 gauge jump rings. I then added the flowers to a sterling silver Long Curb Chain and used a sterling silver Figure 8 clasp to finish it off. Full length is 18 1/2". All my sterling silver jump rings are tumble polished for a beautiful shine and strength.

Byzantine Rose Set - Custom Work

My brother bought this Sterling Silver Byzantine Rose Bracelet for his wife awhile back and from there she asked if I could make matching earrings and a necklace.  I told her I would give it a try.  He surprised her with them for Christmas. 

Sterling Silver Daisy Chainmaille Pendant on Beaded Necklace

I made this two-strand necklace with 4 different types of beads.  The pendant was made using the Japanese 12-in-2 weave.  Similar to the 12-in-1 Daisy Chainmaille Bracelet I have on Etsy.  This necklace is for sale at my Etsy Shop. Daisy Chainmaille Beaded Necklace.

Japanese Chainmail Necklace with Jet Black Swarovski Crystals

This necklace ended up being one of my all time favorite projects.  The weave is a Japanese 12-in-2 weave.  The hardest part of the whole piece was wire wrapping the Swarovski crystal briolettes.  Wow, that was a challenge for someone who has never done it before.  But after breaking a few crystals and wasting some wire I got the hang of it and was very happy with how they all turned out.

4-H Gift

My daughter had a 4-H Christmas Party and they were asked to bring a $5.00 gift. After thinking about all the possibilities out there we decided to do a Scrabble Tile Pendant as the gift. This one is a little different and cheaper than the other two I've posted here on my blog. I used a Shiny Silver Plated Ball Chain instead of the beads and Swarovski Crystals. Which cuts my cost and yours so if you would like just the ball chain and Scrabble Tile Pendant I charge $5.00. The ones with beads are not interchangeable with other Scrabble Tile Pendants.  With ball chain you can buy many pendants and change them out as you like.  Keep checking back for different pendants. 

S.S. Double Cross Necklace with Amethyst Swarovski Crystals

I just finished this necklace today.  I had intended for these jump rings to be made into a bracelet but they ended up the wrong size.  I tried everything I could think of hoping they were not a total waste.  Then when I was going through all my old stuff and saw the earrings that match this necklace I thought I'd give it a try and it worked out which led to the birth of this necklace.  This necklace is for sale at my Etsy Shop.  Double Cross Necklace.
