Twisted Wire Earrings

When I was taking bead and metal jewelry class our teacher showed us how to twist the metal wires. One thing that I learnt is if the wire is round you cannot twist it. It has to be hammered into a flat wire and then twist it. This pair of earrings were made as a gift to one of the best gal pals I ever had

Okinawa Chainmaille Set

At one time I was taking some jewelry classes and the teacher ordered some very colorful Aluminum jump rings for us. And those Aluminum jump rings are so much more easier than the regular steel jump rings.

These bracelets here are made using the Okinawa Chainmail method or the 12-in-2 chain maille method. I made two variations of the same technique. Both the bracelets have a toggle clasp at the end and the colors are just lovely.

Turkish Lace Bracelet

Turkish Lace Bracelet is another of those jewelry which is made using crocheting. The ends of the line have black seed beads and the bracelet is again made with cotton silver crochet thread.

Rice bead bracelet

I once was surfing through ebay.com.searching for some rice beads and I stumbled across these beaaaaaauuuutiful Tibetan Rice Bead Bracelets and I searched and searched as how to make it bu with no luck. So...i looked at the picture real closely and I made my own crocheted Tibetan Rice Bead Bracelet. But this bracelet does not have any rice beads in it. It is made with Silver thread and green size 8 beads.
 This can be worn in summer without any problem because the thread is cotton. It makes a nice chic addition to your jewelry

Easy beads finger ring

This is one of the most easiest piece of jewelry and one of my favorite. String a long string with beads and join it and wrap it around the finger or wrist to make a ring or bracelet
