The Meaning Behind the Name...

Bug's Beads seems like an unusual name...and it is. Bug was my nickname my parents gave me as a baby. "Cute as a bug"- and the name has stuck ever since. :-)

Winter/Christmas Black, Green and Cream Necklace

I originally made this pattern into a bracelet for a friend and then decided it would make an excellent necklace for the "green" enthusiast. 

Made in a catching pattern of "fat" cream seed beads with a delightful glimmering finish to them, black oval beads for a different size dimension and green solid rounds, the necklace has an earthy tone that could be worn during this holiday season and then on to really any other occasion.

Made in 17 inches long from clasp to clasp, I would suggest that you measure your favorite necklace to see if this ones falls within those parameters. If you would like it made shorter or longer, that will not be a problem, just convo me for details!

Red and Black Crystal with Cream Pearl Christmas Necklace

The minute this necklace was created I knew I loved and just barely stopped myself from grabbing it for myself! Made with Swarovski element pearls in 4mm cream and Swarovski 4mm rich black and red make a striking combination. Rich in tones and light elements it draws the eye and captures the attention. A string of pearls that is more than just pearls that any woman would want to hang around her neck.

The necklace measures 18 inches clasp and clasp, but I would strongly suggest that you measure your favorite necklace to know if this length would satisfy you. If you would like the necklace adjusted please let me know before ordering, if significant length needs to be added additional cost might be necessary.

I LOVE this necklace...and hope you will as well. But hurry soon...I might snag it for my own collection. ;-)

Red and Swarovski Pearl Double Strand Christmas Bracelet

Sometimes one bracelet simply isn't enough...so I created a two strand bracelet to work on ONE clasp. No worry about losing one or the other, just simple elegance in varying sizes of Swarovski elements pearls that shimmer in the light and are an attractive way of dressing up any outfit or occasion.

This red/pearl combination set is one of my absolute favorites to make in my studio and a popular one at shows and with customers. Silver accents and durable accu-flex wire that has proven over and over again to withstand hardship.

An absolute seasonal favorite that doesn't have to stay seasonal!

Bracelet will come in lovely organza bag for easy gift giving!

Cream Swarovski Pearls with Silver Tubing Spacers Necklace

I made this necklace and then sighed in delight at the results. Absolutely stunning in person. Swarovski pearls in 4 and 6mm sizes give off a lovely accent to the silver beaded tubes that glimmer when they hit light. It's an understated necklace made to hit about mid-chest level to wear with a business suit, pair with a out-on-the-town shopping spree or perfect for the bridesmaid party or understated bride. 

It truly is (if the designer is allowed to say so) simply gorgeous!

Measures 20 inches from clasp to clasp with durable accu-flex wire. Necklace will come in organza bag for easy gift giving!

Super Fun to Wear Dangle Earrings!!

 These earrings are so much fun to make and just as much fun to wear! Each of the ones pictured here are different lengths, so if you would like specifics as to length, please don't hesitate to send me a convo with a description of the earrings you'd like to know more about.

Earrings featured are made with silver-plated brass earwire--made to hook in the back of the earlobe so as to avoid loss.

Easy to wear and lovely to dress up any outfit, my earrings come in a variety of colors and styles from long and dangling to short and understated.

I personally have sensitive ears and cannot wear cheap earrings. These earrings (and I wear them nearly on a daily basis) have never once bothered or hurt my ears. If you are concerned about the metal value in the earrings, please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll research the details for you, ASAP!

If you don't see something you like...or want to change up the color combination, please let me know. Custom orders are simple...and FUN!
