Pricing for all pieces will begin at $26.00. The price of materials will be determined at the end of the project.

Spaced/Tiered Necklaces
I am very excited about this style of necklace! After a lot of research, I finally figured out what kind of wire is used to make the kinds of necklaces pictured in the gallery. There are 49 strands of wire wound together and coated in nylon in that necklace! This is what gives this wire the beautiful drape and flexibility not found in regular wire.
I think they are beautiful, and what's more, I can order this specialized wire in dozens of colors, including blues, reds, purples, whites, greens, browns and pinks - multiple shades in each color! That's not even counting the metallic colors such as silver, gold, rose gold, bronze and copper.
If you don't have a time crunch and want a beautiful tiered necklace with your favorite shade of soft flexible wire, than this is an option for you!

*Note: this wire is more expensive than the wire I use for my other necklaces, and will be reflected in the final price.
Theme
Do you want the theme of your necklace to be themed around a certain color or shape? There are beads of every style and color you can imagine! Flowers and trees, feathers and leaves, stars and shapes, crosses and landmarks and more! Scroll through the gallery to spark your imagination!
Color
Do you realize that there are beads of every color under the sun? If you have a specific tint or shade of color in mind, there's probably a bead out there to match! And don't forget the sparkles!
Pendant or Charm
Sometimes a pendant or charm or two is just what's needed to add a finishing touch to a necklace or bracelet. Remember, these are ideas -- the actual options are limitless!
