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
