Amethyst Awesome

Amethyst Awesome

This is one of my favourite pieces so far. This bracelet is four amethyst slider pieces from the Bead Gallery line at Michael's. I love the detailing on each of the silders. The flowers accenting the amethyst stones are probably my favourite detail.
I used elastic thread to secure the sliders together. I used 7 clear glass beads per string inbetween the sliders.
The bracelet is 18 centimetres around and is 30 grams in weight.

Red Hot Heart Necklace

Red Hot Heart Necklace

The focal point of this necklace is the heart shaped red pendant in the centre. There are specks of gold throughout the pendant itself.






 
I used various beads on the necklace with most being red and a few that are almost black coloured.

The necklace is 44.5 centimetres long and the clasp used is a lobster claw clasp.The pendant is 4.7 centimetres tall and 3.4 centimetres high. The weight of the entire piece is 55 grams.

Teal My Heart Earrings!

 Teal My Heart!

I love these earrings! They are so simple and yet so much fun. I used glass beads from a kit bought at Michael's. The smaller beads are not seed beads but slightly larger glass beads. The round beads and heart shaped beads are teal-coloured. Both earrings weigh 5 grams. Without the shepherd hooks they are 3.8 centimetres long. With the shepherd hooks they are 5.5 centimetres long.
