Bead & Jewellery Magazine

On the cover!! Alison Tarry is no stranger to shape and texture when it comes to her designs, and this gorgeous necklace is the perfect example of just that. The main body of the necklace is made completely out of wire and only involves one weave, so brush up before starting to ensure you get it just right. Next up, we have a super sweet little flower brooch from Becs Dean-Skinner. This delightful little piece is made completely from seeds and crystals, and when the sun hits that centre stone, it sparkles like crazy. Judith Robson is back with us with a quick-to-make piece that is perfect for beginners to all levels of beader. Karina Miguel’s carrier bead bracelet is bright, bold and beautiful and will be a piece you reach for again and again. If shaped beads and sparkle are more your thing, look no further than this wear with everything Mini Gemduo and crystal bracelet designed by Laura Embry. Gemduos seem to be the bead of the hour, as Emma Kneale has also used them in her Eliza earrings. Originally inspired by snowflakes, these earrings look fabulous in all colours and will see you through any season. If you enjoy wire crochet, Vivi García De Vzagar’s gorgeous bracelet will be right up your street, and lastly we have new to Bead & Jewellery, Maryann McAlpin, with a bracelet that screams sunshine.
