 | This striking necklace features gold foil glass beads from the 2002 Tucson Show. Beads of Austrian crystal, vintage glass, and barrel shaped glass spacers are used to complete the necklace. Asymmetrical in design, it is strung on flexible wire and highlighted with antique silver beads and sterling silver clasp. A unique piece! Price $95.00 |
 | I just received some very interesting Indonesian beads with fascinating designs. Here is a necklace made from one strand, featuring antiqued pewter beads and clasp. Vintage, blue glass spacer beads pick up the blue in the 8mm beads. I think this would be smashing with a denim outfit. Price $55.00 |
 | Baltic amber of many colors, sizes and shapes is a delight to behold in this beautiful necklace. The large beads have many facets; the small ones are amber rondelles. Gold filled beads add highlights and a black onyx clasp is used for the finishing touch. This necklace is in my collection and not for sale. |
 | This is an exquisite strand of Peach Freshwater pearls, strung on silk and knotted between each bead. The pearls, from Tibetanbeads.com, have a beautiful necre and are absolutely stunning. These pearls are not dyed, but treated, as the pearl develops so the color is ingrained. If you like pearls, you will be delighted with these. $85.00 |
 | Turquoise rondelles, red coral beads and faceted sterling silver beads flow together in this one of a kind necklace. As a focal point, there are five sterling silver drops set with red coral cabochons from Tibetanbeads.com. Sterling silver findings and ear rings complete this beautiful set of jewelry. Not for sale. |
 | Wear the magic of amber! This necklace of Baltic amber nuggets, sterling silver beads and hematite spacers makes a bold and glamorous statement. The 30" length makes it easy to slip on over the head. At the base of the necklace is a gorgeous sterling silver pendant mounted with amber and hematite cabochons. Sterling silver beads and a handcrafted sterling clasp add finishing touches. A must have piece! Price $100.00 |
 | I enjoy combining vintage beads with modern. This necklace features vintage foiled glass beads from the 1940s, with crystals and seed beads. The long beads are faceted vintage beads and add sparkle to compliment the foiled beads. You have to like blue to enjoy this piece but it's a knockout when worn with a white outfit. Not for sale. |
| About the artist--I have been interested in jewelry designing and making for the past 45 years. I first worked with clay and porcelain in my own studio where I taught classes and sold my work. After becoming allergic to the clay, I turned to silver and silver in combination with exotic woods winning prizes for my original jewelry designs. For the past 16 years I have been in love with semi-precious stones and beads of all kinds. Gem quality beads, handcrafted beads, and vintage beads are used in my necklaces, bracelets and ear ring designs. Beading has brought me much happiness and many new friends. I have a small business called Beaded Jewelry and sell locally. You may contact me at rufus1@nycap.rr.com. | |
