Chain Mail Bracelets

I made these chain mail bracelets awhile back. This design (by Scott David Plumlee) was taken from a beading magazine and instead of using tube beads, I used Amethyst Gemstone Chips. The offset triangular jump ring sections pull the bead links into repeating parallelogram shapes while the bead-link loops alternate direction, lending visual depth.

Bracelet & Earring Set

This one is a wedding knot chain mail bracelet which is a quick and easy project but you have to get the jump rings ready in advance. Large jump rings lie parallel in this elegant wedding knot chain design (Designer: Deanna Kittrell)

Personal Collection ~ Tree of Life Pendant (Turquoise Chips)

This is the Tree of Life pendant I made for myself. Completed it two days and am now wearing it. Received quite a few compliments wherever I went, even to the market. They did not believe me when I told them I made it myself.

Tree of Life Pendant, constructed with silver plated copper artistic wire and Turquoise Chips. You can see that this shape (triangle) is totally different from the ones I made previously. I wear it just below my collar bone and as the pendant is quite big, it's totally an attraction.

Tree of Life Pendant - Turquoise Chips

Another Tree of Life Pendant but this time, it's for a friend's birthday which falls next week. It's constructed with silver artistic wire with turquoise gemstone chips as well as some swarovski crystals. You can see at the bottom of the pendant (where the root is) that instead of wrapping the excess wires around the frame, I've coiled each one of them to give the pendant a slightly different look.

Hmm.... it's always for someone but not for me. I think I'll make one for myself right after this post. So, the next time you see another Tree of Life Pendant in this blog, it's definitely going to be mine. =))

Ballerina Brooch cum Pendant

Hmm... looks like I have not been updating my blog regularly.

Anyway.... I was cleaning up my dressing table drawers the other day and found this ballerina brooch in one of the jewelry boxes. It was given to me when I was a little girl by my late paternal grandmother. Don't know what it's made of but the brooch has never once change it's colour and now that I found it again, I will make it into a pendant and wear it as a necklace .

Japanese Tensha Beads

Hm........don't you just love the beautiful flower painting on the beads. Received them awhile ago. I have always been attracted to beautiful flowers, especially roses. Just can't take my eyes of them! They're made of acrylic, weightless, beautiful and EXPENSIVE. So, that is why I only ordered a few of them. The beads are focal beads but I have not decided what to do with them yet. Anyway, will keep them in a safe place until I've decided what to do with them.

~ Lace Agate Teardrop Wire Wrapped Pendant ~

Made this pendant as a gift for my daughter's teacher whose birthday falls next week. The Lace Agate Teardrop Gemstone bead is wrapped and coiled with silver artistic wire and hangs on a 16" silver plated chain with hand shaped clasp.

Peacock's Tail Wire Wrapped Ring

Hi gals.... just wanna share these pictures with you. It is a Peacock's Tail Wire Wrapped Ring using coiling technique. Once you've learn the basic technique, you can make this ring within minutes and start creating your own unique coiled rings.

As you can see from the pics here, I've used two coloured wires (brass and copper) and some swarovski crystals beads and it is made in my ring size.

The creator of this ring came from Jenny of jpbeads.blogspot.com. If you would like to see her creations, do visit her blog.

Copper Heart with Swarovski Donut Earring

Code: ESP72

RM32

This pair of earrings was constructed with anti-tarnish copper artistic wire with a heart shape frame at the bottom and wrapped with Red Donut Swarovski Crystal. The whole frame was hand coiled and weaved, and dangled from hand shaped ear wire.

The frame measures 5cm from top of frame to bottom and about 1.5 cm at its widest part.

Wired Rose & Celtic Earrings

Code: ESP69

RM20

The frames, ear wires as well as the roses were hand-shaped and constructed with silver artistic wire with 4mm Vitrail Medium Swarovski Bicones. The teardrop frame measures 4.5cm from bottom of ear wire and less than 2.5cm at its widest. The shape of the rose is slightly different from the other because it is hand-shaped. This will be a custom made piece, therefore colours for the wires as well as bicones could be made according to your request.

Code: ESP70

RM28

Constructed with Gunmetal/Brass artistic wires and embellished with 4mm Fucshia Swarovski Bicones. The round frame measures slightly less than 4cm in diameter. As the roses were hand shaped, please expect a slight difference in the shape. This will be a custom made piece, so colours for the wires and bicones could be made according to your request.

Mei's Heart to Heart Earrings

Remember I wrote about Mei's (Wireblissmei.com) Heart to Heart Earrings Tutorial awhile back? So, here they are with two versions. One pair in the original design and the other with slight modification but still maintaining the heart shape. I used Millifiori and Japanese Tensha Beads at the bottom of the frame.

Custom Made for FY

Wow.... when was the last time I updated my blog. Must be weeks ago. In the mood for making earrings for the past few days. Since the hands are itching and willing to work overtime, and with fresh ideas in mind, I'd better do something before the lazy bug hit me again.

Here are some pictures of custom made items for FY.
