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.
