Handmade Necklaces - Handmade Beaded Necklaces
Almost all the handmade necklaces on
this page can be lengthened or shortened depending on your
preference. We can attach a sterling silver or 14 karat
gold-filled extension chain if you would like one to give you more
versatility.
We choose clasps depending on the weight of the
necklace and its aesthetics, but most clasps can be changed if you
prefer a lobster clasp to a Shepherd's hook or a toggle, for
instance. There is no charge for changing clasps unless you
choose a clasp that is itself substantially more expensive than the
original.
The handmade necklaces on this page are crafted of freshwater
pearls and gemstones unless otherwise stated. Please click on a
picture for a better idea of what a necklace looks like. Most of our
pictures are very large.
These are a very few of our handmade necklaces; if you are looking for a specific gemstone, such as amethyst or garnet, please see the menu at the bottom of the page. We have many gemstone necklaces sorted by type of gemstone.

 Moonlight through Water
Do you have someone with a June birthday, but you're not sure of the birthstone she prefers? Here's the answer: a necklace that features both of June's birthstones - the traditional moonstone (in this case rainbow moonstone) or the modern pearl (the pearl is also the Hindu birthstone for June). This beaded necklace has two strands; the beaded strand consists of Biwa freshwater pearls alternated with rainbow moonstones and periwinkle blue artist's lampwork beads in three different shapes. The longer strand is a sterling silver chain with little dangles of rainbow moonstone on either side of a sterling silver filigree orchid pendant from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes. Closure is a sterling silver "S" clasp with a flower perched atop. Click on the pictures for a larger view.

 Taming the Tiger
Taming the Tiger is a necklace that happened almost by accident! The lampwork beads are unusual with their colours of olive, brown, purple, dashes of coral and gold. I happened to put them down beside strings of beads that included tiger-eye, ametrine and amethyst, and voila, this necklace was born. I love the colours together and although they may sound unusual, this is a great necklace to go with neutral clothing such as khaki, browns, tans,black, olive and purple. The center of the beaded strand is a tiger-eye oval bead that has been carved with an Asian symbol. The second strand is a sterling silver chain with 5 little Karen Hill Tribes charms hanging from it. You'll love this handmade necklace.

Wonderful faceted nuggets of rhodochrosite, a rosey pink with light banding, faceted amethysts, and borosilicate lampwork beads promise a romantic evening when combined with sterling silver. A pendant featuring a rhodochroiste nugget dangling a gem-quality teardrop of amethyst is the focal point of this handmade necklace. A sterling silver toggle clasp is the closure.

 SOLDSpring RevelrySOLD
Ummm... my favorite mix of gemstones with sterling silver accents make up this piece of unique gemstone jewelry - a necklace that has lovely almost pastel colours (except that the colours are strong and true). Faceted nuggets and other shapes of gemstones combine with sterling silver from Bali and the Karen Hill Tribes in this feminine necklace. You'll love its versatility.

 Party in Rio
It's easy to see why this is under the unique gemstone jewelry heading: it's one of my favorite mixes of gemstone faceted nuggets and other beads that I favor so much in bracelets. The gemstone necklace is made with all gold filled components, including the clasp. It's perfect for a summer day - a summer tan - but don't put it away for winter! The colours with the dark amethyst nuggets and the shining gold will look great with clothing year round. The very special gemstones in this necklace are: tiny peridot, little apatite nuggets, iolite, peach moonstone, rose quartz, citrine, and amethyst. Fastens with a gold filled lobster clasp.

 Summer Sun, Winter Fire
A dynamite handmade beaded necklace in a coppery gold colour created of several different and beautiful beads. Coppery gold freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal cosmic beads in copper, freshwater coin pearls, mother of pearl golden nuggets, fire agate rounds and ovals, and sterling silver. Of course the two focals of the two strands are very special: a square silver-laced lampwork bead by artist Robin Weber, and on the longer strand, a very special large faceted nugget bead of fire agate that has some transparency. A sterling silver "S" clasp is the closure. This handmade necklace has a definite presence.

 Embers
A very long handmade necklace featuring coppery golden freshwater pearls, coin pearls, mother of pearl nuggets, sterling silver, and fire agate ovals, rounds, and rectangle. The focal of this necklace is a pendant made of a special fire agate faceted nugget (similar to the one in the necklace above, but more opaque; it almost resembles an animal print). This necklace looks great with the double strand necklace above, too. You'll love the length on this one!

SOLDParis Sky BlueSOLD
This handmade beaded necklace is one that you won't see anywhere else! First, faceted soft blue calcite gemstone
nuggets romance vermeil accents with a decidedly happy outcome. The handmade
necklace and bracelet are unusual and have an ancient look thanks to
the fluted accents and elegant vermeil beads as well as the wonderfully
translucent chalcedony rounds. The soft blue of the gemstone nugget beads themselves is unusual. A vermeil toggle clasp with an inset
heart is the closure for the bracelet; a Shepherd's hook clasp closes
the necklace. A handmade necklace and bracelet set for the woman who wants to wear distinctive jewelry!

Briolettes are teardrop shaped stones or beads that are not flat, but rounded on all sides
SOLDDaceSOLD
If you're unfamiliar with pietersite then you will be delighted with the subtle nuances of colours in this stone! Pietersite is a quietly beautiful stone that cannot be characterized easily. It has flecks of gold, like pyrite or mica in some stones; some are brown and gold; some are black and blue with a marbled appearance. Pietersite is dark brown, light brown, golden brown, reddish, bluish, blue-black - do you get the picture? And its subtleties are best revealed in person and very hard to show in pictures I've found. Dace is a handmade necklace set with matching pietersite earrings, both with sterling silver. The nuggets that make up the necklace and earrings are flat on top with faceted sides so that the stones patterns and colours show beautifully. Little faceted pietersite rounds are between the nuggets making up the necklace. This handmade necklace looks good with quite a few different outfits because of the neutral colours, but will "ground" white clothing and provide a striking contrast - especially becoming to brunettes.
