Necklaces

This is truly a stunning necklace, and one of my personal favorites. The pendent is a transfer
of an original piece of art by Barbara McGuire. The angel is on faux ivory then layered on batik-ed clay and finally set on
gold. This is a 20" necklace and is made up of polymer clay lentil beads with accents of Bali Silver, black onyx, and
czech glass. An absolutely gorgeous marcasite toggle finishes this necklace. This one of a kind necklace is sure to attract
attention where ever you go.

This is a 17" necklace featuring a piece of Brecciated Jasper from Australia. The
jasper has a copper polymer clay bezel. I kept this simple so it wouldn't compete with the beautiful cabochon. The necklace
itself is a combination of the jasper and glass. The toggle is a simple copper toggle.

This 16" necklace is from a series of Asian inspired focal beads and necklaces that
I did. The focal bead is an image transfer and measures 1 1/2" X 2". It has an acrylic finish to protect the image.
The necklace is made from black and red Swarovski crystals with some silver plated spacer beads. It has a plain Bali silver
toggle to close. I think this would be a stunning necklace when worn with a black top or dress.
