Swarovski Elements Neon Pearls and Cube crystals

Swarovski Elements Neon Pearls and Cube crystals

Cube shaped crystals make a change from round crystals in a bracelet but you can’t just string a whole lot of cubes as the bracelet won’t curve around. Adding spacers can still restrict the curve so go for round pearls to create the shape. The neon pearls look fabulous with this seasons lemonade and tangerine clothes.

Hugs and Kisses with Swarovski XILION beads

Hugs and Kisses is one of my favourite bead stitches – it’s a variation of right angle weave and so works really well with Swarovski XILION beads. I made this little bracelet to illustrate a q&a in Make and Sell Jewellery magazine June issue. I took images as I was working the design so look out for the instructions on my Facebook pageā€¦.

Swarovski Crystal Navette Collar

Swarovski Crystal Navette Collar

A really stunning crystal necklace perfect for a bride, featured in the May edition (36) of Craftseller magazine. The design is created with a combination of wirework and bead stitching. I just love these Swarovski Crystal Navettes as they are pre-set. Available from www.beadsolutions.co.uk. One of the wired sections would make stylish drop earrings.
