A chocolate brown necklace made of glass beads and "candy" stones (I don't know what they're really called). Made in a jewelry-making class I attended 2 weeks ago.
Black necklace made of pearls, murano beads, Swarovski crystals, etc. The beads are from an officemate's old bracelets (plus a few from my stash), which she requested be made into necklaces.
Experimental bracelet made of Swarovski crystals and glass beads. Made out of boredom...
Another product of my jewelry class, made of silver and freshwater pearls.
Earrings made with Swarovski and murano beads.
The upper 3 I made with left-over beads from the officemate's bracelets. The lower 2 were prizes I got from the class (the teacher gave prizes when he likes the stuff you made).
