Weeping Willow Designs - Original Hand-made Bead Designs

Beautiful earth riches...worked into dynamic, energetically-helpful designs.

Semi-precious stone beads and freshwater pearls combined with handcrafted Bali silver. All strung on nylon-coated steel with sterling clasps and findings. Double crimp beads used to finish.

Bracelets can be adjusted for a small fee to cover extra time and materials.

The photos of items I have for sale at the moment are posted below with prices indicated. Click to enlarge the photographs.

White Freshwater Pearl and Bali Silver Combination Set - Necklace 18.25 inches, Bracelet Slightly Under 7.5 inches - Necklace $125, Bracelet $60


Very pretty and classic. The silver sections give it an antique feel. It's very light to wear and could be a special occasion set or a set that you wear to dress up the everyday.

White Freshwater Pearls with Bali Silver Accents Bracelet - 7.5 inches - $48

White Freshwater Pearls with Bali Silver Accents Bracelet - 7.5 inches - $48

Long Onyx and Bead Caps with Round Bali Silver Accents - 27 inches - $135


My apologies for the shadowy picture. This necklace is a very dramatic item and also quite versatile. Combining conservative black with antique-y Bali silver to produce a long, rocker chick necklace that hangs to mid-chest. Designed to dress up basic black, but it would work with most solid-coloured clothing.

Onyx with Bead Caps and Round Bali Silver Accents - $135

Matching Onyx Bracelet and Earrings - 8 inches - Bracelet $48, Earrings $25


I also have earrings made of the round, silver, texturized Bali bead used in this bracelet and the necklaces (long onyx and long red and brown agate). Not shown. $32

Red and Brown Agate With Bali Silver Bead Caps and Accents - 27 inches - Necklace $135, Earrings $25


My apologies for the poor quality of this photograph. I'm still using an old school camera, so it's not as easy to do retakes as digital! There's a better close-up with description below.

Red and Brown Agate With Bali Silver Bead Caps and Accents - 27 inches - $135


The colours of the agate in this necklace are graduated from red-orange at the centre to brown at the top with red-orange accents and round, texturized Bali silver accent beads throughout. Very warm and earthy but with the Bali silver to give it a bit of an edge.

Onyx with Bali Silver Bead Caps and Accents Beads - Necklace 18.5 inches, Bracelet 7.75 inches - Necklace $115, Bracelet $55


Industrial Romantic style. Dramatic and elegant with an edge. This set would look great with a little black dress, but it would look just as good with a pair of smoking hot jeans.

Long Handmade Bali Silver and Hematite Combination Necklace - 28.5 inches - $180


Industrial Romantic style. Very dramatic. Hematite is an ore that is shaped into beads. It's a powerful material - my hands get sore if I work with it too much! It has a Plutonic feel to me - emotionally protective, especially when interacting in the modern world. Very nice in combination with Bali silver.

Hematite and Bali silver earrings - $40

Scorpionic Delight - two types of carnelian with Bali silver - necklace 21 inches - $160, earrings $25


The colours of the beads are graduated from red-browns at the bottom of the necklace to orange and then yellow at the top. Very warm and rich-feeling item. The photograph really doesn't do it justice.

Green and blue turquoise with handmade Bali silver - 18 inches - $145


Lovely Tibetan turquoise chunky beads combined with Bali silver. The turquoise graduates to a bit more green than it appears in the photograph. Beautiful antique feel.
