Verona

Because I like the side parts of the "Firenze" by Yvonne King very much, I brought them into the center. The result is the necklace "Verona".

I used pearls from 8 to 12 mm. It is a necklace for every day, but it is also prepared for the evening.

Firenze Necklace

This necklace was not the first on my to-do-list, but then a friend persuaded me to make it. Now I am happy that I did. It is suitable for daily use.

The pattern has been written by Yvonne King and you find it in the Beadwork Magazine February 2014.

Secret Garden Bracelet

The "Secret Garden Bracelet" by Penny Dixon published in  Beadwork Magazine February 2015 is an ambitious, complex beading-pattern, which I enjoyed very much.  
The specifications for the materials are correct. The drawings and explanations are significant.

Unfortunately I only could wear it  twice, then the subbase separated from the upper part because the thread broke. I will use a double thread when I repare it.

Singapore meets Varna

Last year I bought some rectangular shaped stone-beads in Varna. Seeing them I had the pattern of the "Imperial Necklace" by Manek in my mind.
Of course I adapted the design to my ideas.

Chrysanthenum

The necklace "Chrysanthenum" by Manek was my project for the beading meeting in Bavaria. I had so much to look and talk, that I did not have enough time to finish it there.
After seeing an example in nature, I knew, that my necklace only will have three flowers.
Here it is:

Livia

A colleague of my husband ordered a necklace for his wife for the silver wedding. The requirement was; simply but with heart. Here is the result:

And, where is the heart? Look here:

The necklace was the burner :-)

Change of server for my shop

Because I was not content with my previous online-shop, it changed now to another server. It still will be refilled in the next weeks.

You find the new shop under the old address: www.rocjewel.com

There are separate explanations in Spanish, English and German for the products.

The rest of the page is in Spanish. I think, it explains itself. If not, do not hesitate to contact me. I will try to change it, if it is possible.

There are no automatic downloads for pattern, because of the new law for downloads in the EU. After completion of payments the buyer will get the pattern in an email. The Spanish VAT (21%) will be applied.

All patterns in the new shop are totally reviewed. There will be more kits and finished jewelry.

Have a look!

Lady Madeleine

This pendant is a design by Manek.

But I did not like the strap, so I made my own croching.

Babylon

This is one of the projects, which were waiting on my to-do-list for a long time. Today I can't say, why.  

I present the bracelet "Babylon" by Trytobe.

Pandora's Pendant Necklace

The pattern for this necklace is from Manek. It was very relaxed beading.

I wear it often.

Morning Glory

This pattern by Ellad2 is ingenious. Unfortunately the amounts for the Delicas and the seed beads are not correct. I needed more than specified.

Coronation Day

This is also something from the Beadwork Magazine August 2014. From the "Coronation Day Necklace" by Evelina Palmontová I made only the pendant and I pimt the backside.

The backside is made like the frontside without the bicones.

Anemone-Bracelet

These instructions by Elaine Teevens were in  the Beadwork-Magazine from August 2014.

It was easy beading.

Aurora-Pendant

For quite a long time this pendant by Ellad2 has been resisting me because the Rivoli did not want to fit in the bezel. I had to bead very loose.

The mentioned amounts for the seed beads are not correct. I needed more.

Back again

Here I am again.  I stayed two weeks longer for holidays. The results I will show step by step.
It was wonderful to travel this time with my husband. We celebrated our 30th anniversary .

My dress was dark red like red wine and I made a "Hindia" by Heather Collin to go with.
