3 mm antique brass beads are crocheted onto brown silk cord.  The necklace is 22 inches with a beautiful antique brass and emerald green pendant that adds an additional 3 inches. 
I used an antique brass button, from my mama's vintage button stash.
 

Black Chinese Silk, hand crocheted with 3mm genuine Turquoise Gemstone beads.  A large Turquoise Nugget finishes the look to secure the necklace.  The large Navajo like pendant has a turquoise stone in the center.  (I am not sure that it is genuine though).  The pendant is removable so you can just wear the necklace as is and/or add the pendant to a silver chain.  Lots of choices!  I wore it today and got lots of compliments. 

Hearts and Swarovski Crystals in silver tones dangle from a dainty silver chain.  Great for Valentines or just anytime of year 

Swarovski Crystals and tiny silver heart earrings.
add Sterling Earwires for $2 more

Can I brag and tell you how incredibly in love with this bracelet I am? OK, I am so in love with it.  There, I said it.  This bangle is .999 Fine Sterling Silver (better than the .925 of regular Sterling Silver).  Then I used 20 gauge Sterling Silver Plate wire to wrap around it and coil at the ends.  I wired wrapped Fresh Water Pearls in different shapes, Swarovski Crystals and Glass Pearls.  I threw in some other beads to add a little color.  So, what do you think?  I only purchased 2 of the bangles right now cuz they are a little expensive and want to see what you thought. 

Each one is uniquely different.  After two, I will have to order more supplies but can fill more orders.

Some blue with antique brass and decided I really liked the combo.  Multiple shades of blue Swarovski Crystals with different types of antique brass beads and charms are loaded on this antique brass chain.  These earrings are loaded with a bunch of the same Swarovski Crystals and antique brass beads and charms as the bracelet.  I used 6 links of chain to attach the beads to.  All except the charms are individually wired wrapped for security.

Hammered silver disc about the size and weight of a quarter, swing from a silver jump ring on Sterling Silver ear wires. After the hammering, antiquing was added to give it lots of depth. Love these!

This elegant bracelet is crocheted using Sterling Silver Wire with white Pillow Fresh Water Pearls.  Three strands are braided to finish the look.  This bracelet is so elegant but also looks great with jeans.  This bracelet is small but I can make larger ones for custom orders.  You can't go wrong with this.

Lots of layers of Greek Leather in browns and blacks, .5 - 1.5mm strands.  I hand knotted charms, flowers, butterflys and a bumble bee (some Sterling and some just Silver Plate) onto the different strands.  I thougth this added some depth to the necklace.  I anchored it with a beautiful larger Silver flower focal pendant.  I saw this at a bead show and couldn't resist it!  It measures 18" but is adjustable to a little longer for your neckline.  I really love this!  (I guess besides Turquoise and antique brass) I have a thing for Greek Leather! 

I have a page on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/designsbysusan) and would love for you to visit that also.  I feel that I have somewhat of a handle on that venue but this store thing is totally new.

so, if you would be so kind, let me have it!.  good, bad or indiferrent.  i would just appreciate the time you take to leave me some insight!  thank you
