Elize - Smokey Grey glass beads Choker Necklace

A client wanted me to custom make a choker which does not make her neck looks short.  Hmm...What  a challenge - chokers normally consists of 3, 4 or more strands of beads that covered most of the neck.  The choice of beads is essential, I think transparent beads is a good choice.

While looking through my beads collections, found some lovely Grey smokey faceted glass beads and Swarovski beads which are perfect for the choker - I immediately have a design in mind... I want to make a choker with lots of details.

Color scheme:  Grey Smokey  ( light and darker tones) Clear and silver.

Beads and Materials:   Swarovski crystal pendants, Metal filigrees and connectors

Findings and Finishings:  Nickel Metal findings with pin techniques, finished with lobster clasp and added another 10cm extension footage chains.

I always like to start constructing at the center then work my way to the sides and  back, then the dangling pieces.

Mixing different sizes and shapes of grey smokey glass beads like puffed coin shapes, rounded and teardrops - all with faceted cutting with glittery effects and decorated with suitable size bead caps.  

To add more drama to the necklace, I attached strands of nickel metal chains at the sides and center of the neckline. 

Work in Progress:-

Chokers which normally has full strands of beads will actually shorten the neck of the wearer, I decided to lessen the beads by  mixing footage chain with a  "V" shape to lengthen wearer's neck.

Goyette Girls' Memorial Necklace - a special project

This is indeed a special project..
Not that the jewelries are technically hard to construct...or a difficult design which is mind cracking to transform into beadwork... But the story and meaning behind - here goes...
Mid September last year, I received a message from my dear friend Lyne, she had an idea of going away for a memorial weekend with her sisters and mother -this great family faced the saddest incident ever - the loss of their father and husband - Mr Real Goyette.
 
Lyne planed to custom a special design necklaces as a memory of the occasion.

A wedding gift for a dear bride, Pearlyn Teh.

My dear friend from Astro - the TV station i used to work had invited me to her wedding dinner, which was held last Sunday.
When Pearlyn called me a month before the event, I offer to design some fashion jewelries for her to go with her wedding dinner outfits.
After several emails and photo sharing... I started work.

Revamp SooChin's Natural Crystals Part II

Soo Chin has a beautiful citrine bracelet, clear and golden...but it's bored to see just the same beads so i weaved and string them into a 2 in 1 bracelet, decorated with some similar color faceted glass beads and  rhinestones spacer wheels.

LilyTigerPom Necklace 

( I guess this is a fierce name but the necklace is more soft and romantic...)

Materials:  Gunmetal base, findings and footage chains, Rose quatzs, Star Rose and Pink Swarovski crystal beads.

The reason for using rose quatz and star rose because I think Lyne is an unusal good personality... she's smart, cheerful, full of humor and very supportive of my work.  She also has a great voice too! This is a tribute to Lyne, beading with love and hope she will cherish this friendship like i do.

 

The necklace that i made for DjNiza Minx, is actually a gift as a fan to a great female disc jocker - can call her a very, i mean very talented lady... with the taste and great ear for music and talent of mixing sexy, energetic and sensual electronic sounds.  I went out for dinner year end just before the new year and took home a promotion cd of hers for the hotel and  I am in love with her talent... then I search and found her in fb.  When i get to know her in person ( well, just texting and fb correspondance, i realised that she has a great personality too)
