Charm Bracelets

Charm Bracelets

I love charm bracelets especially during the Chrismas season.  I sold almost all of the collection at the St. Faiths Christmas Fayre so watch this space for more charm style pieces.  There are four piece in the range which each have very different themes and beading.

Laila in Pink

This is a fun and  feminine bracelet which uses black and pink crackle beads, glass pearls and bicone beads.  The charms used include an umbrella, a deck of cards, a fairy, a tree and a butterfly.

Winter Wonderland

This is a lovely wintery piece that uses luscious snowflake charms and an assortment of steel blue, pale blue, royal blue and turquoise glass beads.  To add a touch of sparkle the turquoise beads have a diamante spacer framing.

Sweet Treats

This is a fun and fresh combination of hot pink and turquoise glass beading with a cream bead framed in two diamante spacer beads with tree and umbrella charms. 

Shades of Purple and Pink



This charm bracelet is a more elegant and simple style from the more ornate and traditional charm bracelets.  Two shades of purple pearl glass beading have been used,  a deep violet and a pale lilac.  The only charms used in this piece are four silver plated keys which have been placed between the coloured pearl beads.

Thanks!

Zarina

Zarina

I love the combination of green aventurine and dusky pink pearl.  This has been a signature style in the MJH 2011 collection.  The 'Zarina' necklace is one of many pieces using this colour combination.

Shades of the Ocean

Shades of the Ocean

(Pale Blue and Pale Green Glass Chip Beads, White Glass Pearl Beads, Silver Plated Findings)

This piece was inspired by the Amethyst and Green Aventurine Twist piece shown earlier. This piece uses the same weaving technique but rather than using two contrasting shades on different strings.  The two shades of blue and green have been merged to create a mesh of colours. 

Weaving Design Detail

This piece was inspired by the different shades of green and blue in the ocean.  I love the way the two shades of blue and green compliment each other.

Thanks!

Amethyst and Green Aventurine Twist Necklace

Amethyst and Green Aventurine Twist Necklace

(Amethyst, Green Aventurine, White Pearls Glass Bead, Silver Plated Bead Findings, Silver Seed Bead)

This is one of my favourite pieces in the MHJ necklace range.  The amethyst and green aventurine gemstone have been strung in alternating strings to create a weaving effect within the design.  

Design detail

Each gemstone is framed with silver seed beads to make each stone stand out.  A white pearl bead has been included at intervals within the design to soften the contrasting shades of amethyst and green aventurine.

Thanks!

Freshwater Pearls and Rose Quartz

Freshwater Pearls and Rose Quartz

(Freshwater Rice Pearls, Cherry Quartz Beads, Pale Pink Glass Chip Beads, Rose Quartz Flower Pendant)

The Rose and Pearl necklace is a feminine and elegant piece that is designed to be worn along the collar bone.  The design incoporates a variety of soft pastel gemstones and pearls in a three string design with silver findings.

Rose Quartz Flower Pendant  

The rose quartz flower pendant provide an elegant and striking focal point to the piece.  The whole necklace was created using the pendant as the starting point for the final design.

Turquoise, Pearls and Pink

Turquoise, Pearls and Pink

(Turquoise, Pearls Glass Beads, Pink Mother of Pearls Shell Beads, Silver Plated Fixtures)

This distinctive necklace uses the turquoise gemstone with a touch of pink mother of pearl shell beading to add a contrasting shade of colour.  The mother of pearl shells have been used at either end of the necklace to give a subtle touch of contrast without taking too much attention from the turquoise beading.

Pearl and Gemstone Twist Bracelets

Pearl and Gemstone Twist Bracelets

(Gemstone Chip Bead {Amethyst, Turquoise, Green  Aventurine, Red Aventurine}, Silver Plated Leaf Clasp and Silver findings)

This series of gemstone bracelets uses a range of pearl glass bead and gemstone bead and chip stone to create really feminine and striking pieces.  Each bracelet uses two strands of gemstones which are intertwined by a larger bead creating a woven effect.  One of the most beautiful features of this range is the leaf toggle clasp.

Amethyst Twist



(Amethyst, Silver Seed Beads, Cream Pearl Glass Beads)

MHJ are all one of a kind designs and even within the same range there will be variations in terms of beading that is used.  For example, the 'Amethyst Twist' is the only bracelet in the range to incorporate silver seed beads which have been used to make the rich shades of the amethyst stone stand out and compliment the pearl beading.

Turquoise and Green Aventurine Twist

(Left:Turquoise, 4mm White Glass Pearl Beads)

(Right: Green Aventurine, Cream Glass Pearl Beads)

I have chosen to show these two pieces within the same frame to demonstrate how MHJ can produce unique pieces within the same design range.  The turquoise stone is always a very popular choice and makes a real statement with its bold bright presence.  To soften the intensity of the gemstone a 4mm white pearl glass bead has been incorporated withint the gemstone beading.

The Green Aventurine piece has a very soft and organic feel.  I love the way the cream of the pearls glass beading stands out amongst the wild random shapes of the stone.

Red Aventurine Twist

(Red Aventurine Beading and Silver Plated Findings)

This is one of the first pieces in the MHJ range that uses red aventurine gemstone.  I love the rich amber and red shades which add so much depth to this piece.  Unlike the other pieces in the range, I decided to only use red aventurine as there were so many different shades within the stone itself that I did not want to overwhelm the piece with a constrasting shade of bead.

Thanks
