Lavendar Leaf and Twisted Seed Bead Danglers

These extremely simple enamel leaf earrings had corroded stud components so have been completely redesigned with additions of faceted lavendar beads and seed beads in shades of purple...didn't photograph or scan well...oops!!! But they look very playful on...

Hoop Earrings

An eye-catching pair of dangly, shiny, faceted bead, hoop earrings are the ultimate flirtation device and so I kinda was in the mood for a little flirting ;-) Great, because it was leading up to International Flirtation Week. And all these were redesigned from Christmas ornaments which had oxedized and looked a little worse for wear...

Rainbow Faceted Bead Hoops

Blue, Teal, Smoke and Taupe Faceted Bead Hoops

I had two elephant head bolo ties, so I redesigned one into this necklace...
