Side note

I am really good at making things out of polymer clay so if you need something to match another piece of jewelry or a certain pattern or a specific outfit etc I can custom make a piece. For example the White Clay Flower set.

Chokers































First off both chokers can also be made shorter and into bracelets.

The top one is 6 Beaded strands braided together, and is my most worn piece of jewelry because it matches and looks great with everything and it's comfortable to wear, contrary to it's name it doesn't deprive me of air so I can wear it all day with ease.

The second choker is made out of new denim and embroidered with red and with flowers which are hand sown.

Both can be done in a variety of style and colors depending on your taste.







odds and ends.






All these pieces have no sets they are just on their own.

The top two are a bracelet and a close up of it. There is a little green lizard there.

On top there is a simple whimsical white, and blue beaded bracelet on wire with a metal butterfly charm.

The green and pink earrings are stones.


To the right is a red glass bead earring pair.

Stone Bracelet and Earring sets.


The Red and yellow bracelet is made out of stone. and the Earring beads and wide silver wire.













Here The bracelet and necklace are both made out of shell and stone beads.

Necklace pendents



< this is the view of the copper pendent from the right.

These are 2 center pieces for nec.
The 1 on the left is wire and a pink granite stone with chain hanging below. The right one is made out of polished copper wire and flat sheet.


Black Hematite Stone Set



















A Very Simple necklace and and Bracelet hematite set.

Blue, White and Gold set.




This is my first set. I love it because it has the perfect balance of clear beads and color.










The piece above the bracelet is a centerpiece that can be hung on a ribbon or leather strand as a simple necklace.

Center piece>









Purple Cameo Set


Far left Bracelet close up. Center Earrings (above rt)hang just above my shoulders. Below Close up of necklace center piece purple cameo.



Out of everything I've done This is one of my all time favorites. My Favorite colors, faux pearls, and a cameo. the The cameo ends at the collar bone, but the short patterned third strand sits right at the top of the collar bone having the appearance of a choker.
















And even though the bracelet looks bent in the photo that is only from the tightness of the wire when put on it is rounded like a tight bangle.

Silver chain and glass Heart necklace.

I love this necklace. Because of the silver color and the chain it matches almost everything I have, and It can be semi formal as well as casual. It was my first time working with big rings like that
But I liked it because it was easy to make.

Glass Red Heart Set



Top( Close up of bracelets).

Right( Close up of earrings).These were the most difficult earrings I've ever made. I wasn't following a pattern so I was try to figure it out as i went along because I had never made loop earrings before. Considering everything in the end they turned out rather well.
The necklace hangs past the collarbone and ends at the bust.


White Collar Necklace and Drop Earrings


















While, Gold, and Clear bugle beads.
And White, Clear,and gold bits, and glass seed beads.

This set was a trial to make. It took me weeks. It is made with one long strand weaved into that net. The earrings are created with beads and eyepins.

Blue and sliver necklace.

Now the bracelet and pendant on the necklace I bought a specialty business trade show. I looked around for months before I was able to find cat's eye beads to match. But I Found the beads on the earrings and necklace blue and silver). and stung them together on the silver collar piece which I also haphazardly found one day. The earrings are done with Eye-pins and store bought multi-strand connectors.

White Clay Flower Set.

Third row bracelet and earrings.

This set took me two weeks to make.

I designed and make the pendants from scratch. The center piece for the necklace, earrings ( white flower), and bracelet were made from white polymer clay and then painted.

The rest of the necklace is beaded with seed, bugle, and other beads. Both have gold clasps.






Multicolor Flower and faux turquoise pearl set.


I really love this set. It's very simple yet elegant. The flower should rest on the collarbone, so it is not really up on your neck. Can make with many different colors of pearls or with different Center pieces. Can have a bracelet with 2 rows of pearls etc. And the picture above is not edited that is how the flower looks when it is in the light, because the plastic is faceted.

Clay pins


I really wanted some pins for Christmas but I couldn't I wanted so These came about. They are made with polymer clay and painted with Acrylic paint.















And are secured to clothing with a safety pin on the back. Can custom make or inset with beads, Stones etc.









Arabian Set





















This set is Arabian themed. I made it last year to match a really cute tank turquoise dress I bought. It's one of my all time favorites :)















I'm back!

So I am back at long last. The past year I haven't had the time to spend two weeks per painting, so I focused on improving my Jewelry making skills. I hate most of the jewelry styles that are out in stores now..... wayyyyyy too simple for me:) So I make my own sets.

I have gotten many requests to sell so here it is. These specific sets that I'll be uploading are NOT FOR SALE! But I can make the same one or very close to it depending on whether or not the supplies need to create the set are found. As I said I've been making them over the last year so stores change their inventories. So it depends on what I find. I also can make custom designed sets for what ever you like. For instance if you have a certain outfit that needs a set to match or a piece let me know. I primarily work with glass beads, stretch string, wire, stone, metal pieces that I buy, and sculpted then painted Polymer clay.

Prices will vary by set.
