I have trialed a number of methods of beading circles round metal ring before. Here I am trying not for a tutorial but a compilation of methods I am trialing. There will be a direct link to each tutorial, from various artists. This way, I have a better chance of looking up how to bead circles using metal ring (or any other type of rings, be they metal or not!).
This wire woven necklace came about because a long while ago (5 years!), I was spending quite a bit of time trying to see if I was sympatico with wire weaving.

Made this lampwork necklace for mommy on 23 Sep 2014. My mommy has passed over now and I finally get around to posting this. Still I am glad she got a chance to wear it and I know, where she is, she can have anything she wants. And she is happy.

All the pieces here offer modular simplicity. They were created with simple lines in mind. And they are modular enough to stand on their own or be harmoniously combined for the day’s best look.
The first photo here shows the set together even though each piece is sold separately.

Crochet necklace with Aztec Influence. It has a kind of retro and exotic glamour. I also included some how to notes on how to use Brick Stitch to create a pendant with a large round bead.

A beaded kitty pendant. For those of you familiar with beading a bezel around a rivoli crystal, this is easy (and fun!) to do.

I have been going on about Owl Necklace and Owl Earrings lately. So it seemed fitting I continued with a beaded owl pendant.

Beaded Owl necklace, the Karlyn Owl, came about thanks to my sister, Christina Gillett. While on holidays, she snuck an owl of an idea into my head: she asked me for some owl jewellery.

Re-purposed Childhood Jade Bracelet (CH0421)
Some years ago my mom gave me a jade bracelet. Or rather, she re-gifted me the jade bracelet. Apparently it was from my childhood. When I was tiny. So of course I am now way too big to wear it.
I stored it away these last few years, thinking one day I will get round to “doing something” about it. But a walk with cancer has taught me that one should store less, enjoy and use more!
The childhood jade bracelet is made with symbolic Jade round pieces, encased within and link-chained with 24K gold. (24K gold is very yellow, expensive, and very popular in Malaysia – which is where I originally hailed from). Gold is not a metal I often work with. Which added to my procrastination period.
However I have finally “done something” to the childhood jade bracelet. It is now both a necklace or a wrap around bracelet. And I love it.
