Trying some jewellery making

I have been getting quite addicted to beads and decided to do something else with them apart from just using in cross stitch....  so I decided to have a go at jewellery making ....  not very good yet, but here are a few of the things I tried out for friends and family ...


This is a silver and turquoise bracelet for a friend


 This is a set of necklace, bracelet and ear-rings made for myself with real coral beads and sterling silver bits!

This was made for my DIL with real turquioise beads, glass beads and sterling silver beads

Thanks everyone - I have enjoyed making a few bits - have done lots of ear-rings for myself and found some really good online shops for bits and bobs .....
