Another "Minty" called Pirouette

Another 7.5 inch bracelet. This time I used 8.0 Miyuki glass seed beads for the base and lovely 11.0 pink glass beads for the embellishment. To add a twist to this I also added pink freshwater pearls. Isn't it lovely? A 925 silver flower toggle completes the piece.

"Minty" called Arabesque

This is a 7.5 inch bracelet. I used 8.0 purple Delica beads for the base and 11.0 purple iris glass seed beads for the embellishment. I also added a 925 silver S hook which is plated with 14K gold. Really nice for an evening outing.

Minty called Adagio

Another 7 inch bracelet in light and medium mint green. I started with a ladder stitch for the base and embellished with the lighter shade for the top. A 925 silver toggle completes the piece. It's a simple but elegant looking bracelet. If I've time, I will try to make a few more in different colours to see the effects!

Gratitude

My dear friends,

Thank you SO much for all your good wishes, comments and suggestions for my blog and most importantly, jewelry! All your ideas are important to me, so keep them coming!

Today I will post some of the bracelets I made. I hope you enjoy looking at them (and perhaps wearing them one day?!) just as I enjoyed making them.

This is a 7 inch bracelet in green, purple and copper glass seed beads. I made six spiral rope rings and joined them with peyote strips. For the clasp I made a woven bead using a 8mm green Swarovki pearl with copper glass seed beads and fire polished beads. This is one of my favourites!

Contemplation

A lovely 15 inch spiral rope necklace with Ametrine, freshwater pearls and peridot, held together by a pretty rose shaped 925 silver clasp.

Classy Garnet

This 14 inch necklace looks really classy and is suitable for evening wear. The drop is 3 inches with garnet chips, Swarovski cubes, beads and hearts. Held together by a 925 silver square clasp.

Coral Kumihimo

This is another Kumihimo braid using glass beads, coral beads and a lovely glass centrepiece.
