These are three different versions of the folded Peyote Stitch oval. The pair on the left, of earrings is worked in the standard way, with the folds facing each other. I added a beaded "flower" to the bottom just for the sake of experimentation. The other two pairs are worked such that the folds are worked in the same direction, much as I would do if working a spiral. While these earrings can be made with a single color and finish, part of the fun is working contrasts with two, three, or even four colors and / or finishes. I like to add dangles but these are a choice for you to make.
The standard (or default) length is 2 inches using the size beads I used for the golden or brass colored earrings, and about 1.5 inches using the tinier beads as used in the colorful earrings, but both can be made longer or shorter as needed.

Just because I adore over-the-top large and ornate neckpieces doesn't mean I can't make more understanted and elegant necklaces. I bring all of the lessons lerned from designing and creating those massive art pieces to creating smaller works. The delicate seeming necklaces here are examples of my dedication to quality. They are both based on the spiral weave (once called Ruth's Twist but that name did not stick) with perfectly placed embellishments. The bride's necklace includes embellishments of freshwater pearls and crystals, as well as a small dangling focus using small baroque freshwater pearls, all in the same color as her dress. Her sister's necklace uses the same weave but also a greater color variety of freshwater pearls with a design that emphasizes the center of the necklace.
Your necklace can be in any color or colors you want! I can use crystals, pearls, and small semi-precious (and precious) stones. Don't buy mass produced jewelry when you can have a unique work made by the artist who designs (with your input if you wish) it.
- 20 inch, central embellishments of pearls, crystals, stone chips - $120.00
- Other lengths and more expensive materials are negotiable due to varying costs of materials

It was when I was a small child that I noticed that the gifts that my mother loved the best were things that we children had made. These were gifts that not only came from our hearts, but also from our minds. We thought about making "something special," something unique that was meant just for "mommy." It's surely no surprise, then, that as an artist I find many people buy my creations as very special gifts for very special people. Now you can go a step further by commissioning work specifically made for yourself, for a special occasion, or best of all, as a very special gift for those who are special to you.

Wow!!!! The necklace is absolutely beautiful! It is exactly, exactly what I had in mind! It will be worn
throughout Summer as I have lots of white outfits. (I am wearing it as I type.) Thanks again for creating such a
beautiful necklace and I look forward to fall when I can place another order....I still have by eye on the necklace I love so much.
