Jewellery

[SusanF]

Over the past month or so, I've started making my own jewellery. I've dabbled in this a few times before, but never really got into it seriously (ie I didn't start buying stash ). It started this time when I bought a lariat necklace from a jewellery party and decided I'd like a few more in different colours - so I made these




By this time I had got the bug and made some freshwater pearl necklaces




Then I found something I really enjoyed making - this necklace and bracelet set were crocheted!!




The closeup below shows this better - it was great to make - very satisfying somehow!!




Finally, here's the latest necklace I've just finished. It's made using Kambala Jasper which is just such a lovely stone. It's very smooth and has wonderful black swirls patterened into the green beads. Much nicer in real life than in the photo.

WOW! Those are really beautiful!

I've also tried the art of jewelry making...and I've made some bracelets...These are what I've done so far...

[Busy_B]

Beautiful pieces! I've seen some of the different crochet patterns for jewelry before, but not quite ready to try them.

What lovely jewellery - well done to both of you

Beautiful jewellery Susan and Charmagne My grandma is quite into beading and she's given me some bracelets before She got me into it once, but I've only made one or two. Those pieces are lovely, handmade items are always that much more special than buying ready made aren't they?

[~threadbear~]

These are lovely! You both made some gorgeous pieces there, well done!

[Lisa]

awwww such pretties

[tattyted]

Wow! Your both really good at making jewellery! I love the pieces both of you have made. I've made a couple of pieces before but never really gotten into it. Keep on coming back to cross stitch. Think you may of just persuaded me to pick it up again for a little while. *wanders off to her craft cupboard to dig out her beads, wire and tools*

Great job both of you

I dabble in the jewelry too. I started making it because I couldn't find decent, hard to break necklaces for Taby. The only ones I could really find were cheap and made with regular or plastic string. I started making some for myself too. I haven't made any in a while but need to make some more for Taby to use as potty training bribes.

They are beautiful both of you
I have loads of beads from a few years back, your work makes me want to dive in and do something with them

[agi]

You have made some lovely work!

Beautiful pieces! I've seen some of the different crochet patterns for jewelry before, but not quite ready to try them.

I've got to let you into a secret - these are extremely easy to do and look better than they should for the amount of effort you need to put into them .

If you can make a chain stitch with a crochet hook, you can do this!

[Mabel Figworthy]

How wonderful to be able to create a piece of jewellery that is unique to you -- to you both!

[sammy_v]

There all beautiful, well done.

I've heard of Etsy before but never actually looked it - it's amazing - so much great stuff to buy!!!!!

Just made myself a coffee and I'm off now for a browse

I did some beaded knitting, you can see them somewhere here, but my problem is, I don't really like wearing them, so I don't bother making them either.

I really love these pieces I think handmade jewellery is so much prettier and individual than what you get in high street jewellery shops.
