Open mesh jewelry set consist of matching earrings and pendant – with touches of frivolous, petite crystal flowers and leafy dangles of coloured fruits.

Open Mesh Pendant
Pendant was done with Czech bugles and Swarovski crystals. Each matching colored drop was individually created. Pendant finished with .925 Sterling Silver flower bail and dangle heart.
This pendant was a continuation of my fascination journey into RAW (right angle weave). This showed to me the distinctively different looks that could be achieved with the same technique and different types of beads. I adore the petite flowers so had to have them them to bring spring and joy to the piece. And then, the pendant just demanded a joyful dangle to finished him off with sunny fun.

Materials
- Swarovski crystals
- Swarovski Rose Montees
- Stardust beads
- 0.925 Sterling Silver earwires
This matching pair of earrings features a cone shaped structure for the feminine, modern girl about town.
Once again here I am playing around with basic RAW (Right Angle Weave) beading using bugles and having a go at simple 3D structures.
Some Construction Details
This set of open mesh earrings were beaded using standard beading thread. Then they were further strengthened by weaving through again and at the same time, adding the Topaz AB seed beads.
The wire guard for the earwire is worked in at this “filling” stage.
The end tips are also joined together on this second pass-through, producing the 3D cone structure.
