Bead Hoarders Blog Hop!


Well, I thought this was a great idea that Lori Anderson came up with!  How many of us jewelry designers have tons of stuff stashed because it's too expensive or the inspiration hasn't come yet? So here we have over 160 people sharing their designs made with hoarded beads, components, clasps, etc.  - and here's mine. Thanks Lori!


I rarely use sterling anymore due to the cost and I am worried that it will be priced higher than folks are able to pay so I pulled lots of sterling silver out of my hoarded stash!   First up I have the above necklace made with vintage color swarovski crystals - three different shades of pink!  and sterling silver beads and clasp with matching earrings. Yummy! What should I charge for this?  A million dollars! lol 


 Secondly, a pair of earring made with clear crystals and peridot set in sterling silver. Gorgeous, I love peridot!

  Here I have a necklace made with classic colors red coral, black onyx and sterling silver beads.  And matching earrings below. :o)

Last, another pink piece with a handmade lampwork bead by me in the center, 2 hugemongous sterling silver beads and beautiful matching pink fresh water pearls! Looks good enough to eat! 
I still have tons more hoarded but this felt good as if I had permission to use some if it! lol
If you like lampwork beads in your designs all of mine are 20% off in my Etsy store right now!

    Peridot is my birthstone so I think the Peridot earrings would be my favorites. Beautiful pieces.

    Beautiful coral necklace. Red and black go together so well.

    I think you've been fearless in parting with your SS hoard and making so many beautiful pieces with them. I wish I'd had the smarts to hoard SS when it was still affordable. Oh well! I especially like your first necklace with all the pinks. The set is perfect - I wouldn't change or add a thing.

    Thank you all so much for commenting! It means alot to me.
    Wind Dancer, I love the peridot also. It is my birthstone, too!
    Julee, red and black is one of my fav combos!
    Adlinah, I HAVE been hoarding the sterling silver beads for that very reason - it is not affordable now. Thanks for the support on the pink and silver necklace.

    Thank you Audrey for the kudos. :o)

    Such beautiful designs and each one very different in feeling.
    I wouldn't add a pendant to the bead and crystal necklace. I like the mix of silver with the different shades of pink.

    And thanks Louise for replying to my question. It is such a classic look and not updated but I, too, love the silver and pink bling! Thanks!

    Each of your designs is really great. But, as soon as I saw those peridot earrings my eyes were boggling. I really, really like that design. It's actually not something that would usually appeal to me. . .too formal or something, but the mix of the peridot and the . . .crystal (?) above it make such a simple and stunning palette. So beautiful!
