Vintage Style Handmade Beaded Jewelry

I started making handmade beaded jewelry 10 years ago and I really enjoy it. I love picking out new gemstones, crystal and pretty glass beads and the best part is when I get my package in the mail, it's almost like my own little treasure. The stones are the best mainly because every stone is different and unique and look beautiful on a necklace strand. Some of my favorite stones are citrine, amazonite, and Agate. I love citrine because it has a beautiful luster almost like tiny little specs of copper are shimmering throughout. amazonite is a very pretty stone the cool blue colored stone makes me feel like I'm on vacation on a white sandy beach gazing at crystal blue water, its a very relaxing stone. Agate is probably my favorite stone of all because it can range in a number of different colors tan, deep reds and oranges even different shades of blue. I have plenty pieces of beaded jewelry featuring these stones among others, if your looking for stunning pieces of beaded jewelry of all kinds you came to the right place! The earrings above were made with oval amazonite stones, blue glass barrel beads and light sapphire Swarovski bicone beads.

Purple Dangle Earrings

Purple is by far my favorite color any shade will do but the dark plum shades are the most beautiful to me. All tho I don't own very many articles of clothing in the purple spectrum I do try to accessorize with purple handmade jewelry. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets in the many hues of purple will surely dazzle up any plain white or black t-shirt or even a blouse. I always find bangles to be a fun way to make my boring clothes pop. Pair those with a perfect set of purple glass earrings and a little lip gloss and I'm out the door.


These handmade beaded earrings were made with purple Czech glass round glass beads, silver plated leaf spacer beads, purple glass pearls and Swarovski crystal round beads.

Coral Jewelry

Coral or Precious Coral as it's sometimes called is not an actual stone as some may think, it's actually the skeletal branches of a marine coral species. That means the beautiful polished "stone" that many of us have in our jewelry box was actually a living breathing organism at one time, thriving and multiplying in earths vast and beautiful oceans. In my mind this makes coral just as special and unique as a luminous pearl. The skeleton of marine coral is naturally a pink or red hue however it can also range in hues of orange, brown and white. Precious coral is usually sold in it's natural hue not dyed only cut and polished. Non precious coral beads are usually a less rare species of coral or dyed stones that are found more commonly around the world, like chalcedony and is usually the type of coral most people own. This season is the time to bring out those coral pieces especially if they are an orangery hue as orange is all the rave this season.

The above beaded necklace was made with coral barrel beads, Swarovski crystal bicone beads, clear seed beads, spacer beads, coral pendant,
