More, more photos!

This is a 16-inch woven Swarovski pearl necklace.

The same style in peach and creamrose. Will make a beautiful bridal piece. I do have a few pieces suitable for brides and her bridal party.

This is a beautiful 18-inch good quality freshwater pearl stick necklace coupled with coral beads to complete the marine experience!

Another "mini fan" style necklace with unakite gemstones. I love the intermixing of salmon and greens. Really striking.

This is a 16-inch woven Swarovski necklace with a long drop. Will look good with a V neckline or strapless dress.

More new photos

Sorry for the long delay in getting these photos out. I've been really overwhelmed with orders (thank you!) and other home duties. Here are a few more photos for you to enjoy.

This is a lovely 16-inch 10mm Amethyst bead necklace coupled with 3mm Peridot rondelles.

A 17-inch pink opal oval flat and nuggets definitely not for the fainthearted! It's chunky and a little weighty but definitely a head turner! I added gold-filled 3mm beads to bring out the colour. Isn't this beautiful?






Snow obsidian is the name of this 17-inch gemstone necklace in a mini fan style. I added Swarovski pearls. Really lovely with almost anything!

Get ready to turn heads with this 17-inch red New Jade seahorse! I added carnelian twisted and round beads together with gold-filled beads. One of my favourites.






By the way, the candle cup in the background was a gift from IL. Thanks!

New collection samples

Thank you for being SO patient, my dear friends! I've designed and made more than 50 pieces the past few months but it's been really hectic at the YAM household hence the tardiness in providing photos for your viewing pleasure! Anyway, here are just a few to whet your appetite for more to come! Do remember I'm still taking orders for Christmas and my sale is slated for end of November/early December.

This is a lovely 17-inch asymmetrical necklace using 3 different techniques of beadwork. First, on the left is a spiral rope, the right is the St Petersburg weave and finally the centrepiece is coralling uusing freshwater pearls. The Japanese glass seed bead and fire polished bead colours are the same but notice how the accents change with the different techniques employed.

This totally different and unique piece uses a 50-strand stainless steel 16-inch necklace with a 925 silver clasp to hold a lovely New Zealand paua shell cabachon which I embellished with Swarovski crystals and Japanese glass seed beads using the same colours off the shell.



I totally love it!











Another totally different 16-inch necklace employing the Cellini spiral method and stringing. For the Cellini spiral, I used different sizes and shapes of glass beads which gives it the spiral twist. For the rest of the necklace I used Swarovski pearls in graduated sizes which gives it an elegant look.

Nails made into a Cross!

A few weeks back, Pastor P asked me to make a long necklace from a few nails he got off his old church building roof. After much deliberating, I came up with this 32-inch design. I used antique bronze wire and chain, and mahogany obsidian beads in two sizes. My main difficulty was in stabilising the cross which had a tendency to swing. Any comments or suggestions? What do you think, Pastor P?
