Wired Ceramic Crystal Clusters

This intriguing design is a mix of several different techniques. The first is the focal gray ceramic beads are wired with non-tarnish silver swirl accents; I did this to accent not only the bead to also play hide-n-seek with the black splattering on each bead and the fun part is the beads twist on the wire so you could wear some showing wire and some not or none at all!

Then I strung the design on double strands so the crystal clusters are more of a flowing cluster rather than heavily gathered, an interesting tid-bit about these crystals, some of them have been heat treated and will color change slightly when refracting different light. And finally, the earrings style I get asked to design, the long cluster charms.

An Art in Mosaic Turquoise



Though not entirely a natural stone, these beads are made from composites of crushed Turquoise bits. They make beautiful matrix beads and great additions to any piece of jewelry; rather the center of attention or as an accent to natural stones, crystals, metals or ceramics.







This piece is made with mosaic Turquoise, toffee ceramic beads, goldtone spacers, light gold glass seedbeads, and as a focal a beautiful deep brown Agate slice with crystallization in the center; handcrafted in bronze wire.
