Here is a simple, but classic pin fashioned by the multi-talented Julia Hurst of Boo Jewellery . See some of her photographs of nature, landscapes and live bands here.

Talented Italian designer Andréa Landau of Original Sin Designs sent me these photos of her beautiful "Copacabana" necklace which includes some Greek silver ceramic beads (cornflakes and 5mm rounds).

Materials: Swarovski bicones, fiber optic cubes and rounds, assorted glass beads, firepolish, a glass shell, Greek ceramic beads, sterling plate charlottes, seed beads, vintage German cabochons, and a gorgeous lapis lazuli focal. Her second web site can be seen here.

A very chunky turquoise necklace showing the use of 13mm silver spacers, and textured round beads by me, Hilary Milne of Gem Kist Jewellery.

I needed something striking for the middle and found that by using a top shaped bead on either side of a cheerio ring, I got the focal weight that the piece required.

Troll or Pandora style bracelets are all the rage at the moment, but the beads can be very expensive. As you can see in the picture, many of the Greek ceramic beads I stock fit on the bracelets. Here I have used antique crackle beads in navy and turquoise, silver textured, silver top, silver nugget and a plain silver bead.

The fabulous silver core lampwork glass beads are by Mike Poole of Tillerman Beads (UK).

These are jewellery designs by Mary Steed of Myosotis Designs using two striking lampwork beads purchased from Beadsite.

The white howlite gemstones cool down the hot colours and make for two very wearable, fun, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery. Swarovski crystals echo the colours of the focal beads. Nice work Mary, and thank you for sharing!
