citrine bracelet
The pale yellow of the citrine chips are offset by alternating brass seed beads, and a gold colored magnetic clasp completes the circle.

Jade Amethyst flower necklace
This project was handed to me as a bag full of beads. It was a very sentimental necklace of a friend of mine, but her young kids kept accidentally breaking it. She gave me full permission to redesign it, and make it less fragile.
The centerpiece is glass, and I added some amethyst and jade to the beads that were already there. I also changed the clasp to a magnetic one, so that if the babies pulled on it, it would just open instead of break. (not pictured)

purple sparkle earrings
5mm faceted amethyst rounds dangle below 3 - 3mm (or so) blue goldstone bricks, capped with a plastic AB-coated seed bead and stainless steel earwires.
The amethysts are a little bit cloudy, but still a very vibrant purple. The goldstones have a very dark purple or black base, and are exploding with blue, purple, and silver glitter. There is no way to capture the intensity on camera, so the pictures definitely do not do it justice.
Length: 1.5" from the bottom of the earwire.

pearl rainbow bracelet
This beautiful bracelet is simple, yet elegant. Eleven colors of seed beads make a daisy chain around 5mm mother of pearl rounds, closing in a silver colored hook clasp. All the colors plus the pearlescent white make this bracelet literally match any outfit, for any occasion.
All photos were taken in natural light, some in direct sunlight.
Length: about 6.75 inches

Wooden Skull Earrings
The earwires are brass-finished surgical steel, and the beads hanging from it are gold-colored vermeil, tiger's eye, wood, and the grinning skulls. I can't place the material of the skulls - they are not heavy enough to be porcelain or ceramic, so I'm guessing they are a hard plastic. The skulls are not decorated enough to be called sugar skulls, though they almost have that appearance.
Length: about 3 inches long from the bottom of the earwire.

Rainbow Buckyball earrings
OK, so they're not real buckyballs - I don't have the beading skillz required for that. But they are close enough.
Six spheroids (in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) made of seed beads, each attached to a delicate silver chain. They are connected to a wire loop and a clear round glass bead to a stainless steel earwire.
One of the yellow spheres has a thicker silver loop connecting it to the chain due to an error during production, but it is not very noticeable unless you look really closely.
But these fun earrings add some color to any outfit, dressy or casual, regardless of the scientific inaccuracies.
Length: about 1.75 inches from the bottom of the earwire, though there is some variation between earrings and depending on how the chains are sitting.
