Beaded One of A Kind
Jewelry Items and Kazuri Bead Jewelry
This page is devoted to those items that
I have found only a handful of special beads to design a one of a
kind beaded jewelry piece you can't live without OR is PERFECT for that
one person in your life that perhaps you have difficulty find something
for. I am also designing some unique beaded jewelry pieces with
KAZURI BEADS that will be featured on this page. Here is a description
of them.
KAZURI-HANDMADE CERAMIC BEADS FROM AFRICA
Handmade
Kazuri Beads From Kenya, Africa are beautiful
one-of-a-kind clay beads that are hand made by women in Kenya, Africa who are
paid fair wages and enjoy favorable working conditions. These women are often
sole providers for their children and families.
Kazuri Beads are
painstakingly formed, painted, glazed by hand, creating one-of-a-kind beads each
and every time. The resulting variations in color and shape are part of the
uniqueness and beauty of these wonderful beads.

The first of many Kazuri bead pieces, this stunning necklace
consists of 2 rounded oval green Kazuri beads, 2 beautiful round coin shape
green and copper with just a touch of turquoise Kazuri beads and the absolutely gorgeous large pendant in green
with copper and beige accents. The necklace measures 26" not including the
pendant which is approx 2 5/8" in diameter. I've coordinated the beads with
copper glass seed beads to bring out the copper tones. I've finished it off with
a gold vermeil toggle clasp. This can be adjusted per the lengths available in
the drop down box to the right but remember part of the glory of this necklace
is the length which will go nicely over a turtleneck or any solid shirt.
Note: I had enough for 2 of these sets and one has been sold - so there
is jut one more left.

The Kazuri bead earrings I designed to go with the above necklace in slightly darker green rounds and rounded oval copper beads. As with all Kazuri beads
it is impossible to get exact matching beads but I felt these brought out all the colors of the striking pendant above. Note: I had enough for 2 of these
sets and one has been sold - so there is jut one more left.

STUNNING Kazuri bead necklace and earring set in what appears to be pure black and ivory but actually has a deep brown tint this set is truly a one of
a kind as I was not able to obtain more than these 3 beads. It consists of gleaming black rounded ovals and then the focal beads described above. The necklace measures a generous
26 1/2" including the pendant. The earrings measure approx 2 1/4" from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the focal bead. I've added
some intricate Bali silver beads and a beautifully detailed Bali silver toggle
clasp to finish it off.

I just acquired enough beads to make one
more set like this one - first come, first serve.
WOW - That is all I can first think of to
describe this awesome set! I've created it with Kazuri beads, the bronze
glistening tablets that bring out the browns/coppers in the magnificent
centerpiece, the red fluted tube beads and, of course, the centerpiece itself.
To add to the red I've also coordinated beautiful Red Turquoise in smooth
rounds, plump teardrops and flat teardrops. I love looking at this one and I'm
betting whoever it was designed for (YOU will know!) will love it as much!
Certainly it will get attention and it is coming at a perfect time as I envision
it as an exquisite holiday set for those functions that you want to look
especially "decked out" for. I've used the bronze tablet and the flat Red
Turquoise pieces to design the earrings. To complete this piece I've added
some special Bali Silver beads and an absolutely stunning sterling silver
marcasite toggle clasp. Because I cannot match these beads or clasp in gold I
highly suggest you purchase this one in silver. I will, however, attempt to make
it with some nice vermeil components if you truly want gold. The necklace measures approximately
22" not including the pendant which is another 1 1/2" long and almost 2 1/2" at
the widest part. The earrings measure slightly over 2 1/4" from the top of the earwire to the bottom.

More lovely Kazuri handmade beads! This time in a
gorgeous medley of blues with some exotic greens mixed in. I've brought out the
blues and green almost rust color hidden in this pendant with a blue iris
coppery seed bead that coordinates perfectly with all the colors of this
necklace. To compliment the bright silver components I've used a fine sterling
marcasite safety clasp. If you choose this in gold I can duplicate everything
except the clasp and will use a nice toggle clasp. Another one of a kind piece
for that special someone! This one measures approximately 24" not including the 1 1/2" pendant.

Another gorgeous Kazuri bead necklace and earring set in
stunning purple. I've coordinated the pendant with Tanzanite Swarovski faceted
bicones and rounds and added some fancy vermeil gold beadcaps. I've brought them
altogether with deep amethyst purple Charlotte glass seedbeads and a simple
lobster claw clasp.

These are some of the first Kazuri handmade beads
I purchased! I fell in love with their natural ivory color and the tones of
copper and turquoise flowing through and around them! The Freshwater silvery
beige Keshi Pearls just seemed to compliment but not overpower the colors! I've added
a gorgeous oval toggle clasp that is pure copper on the flat smooth side and a
rich
filigree sterling silver on the front.
This necklace measures approximately 19" not including the 1 1/2"
inverted triangle pendant. I do have a handful of these beautiful beads left
(not enough for another necklace) so
I could make a pair of earrings and/or a bracelet to match. If interested,
please email for a price quote.

One of my very favorites so far! Sometimes I almost - almost hope something doesn't sell because
I love it so much! This is the case with these magenta, mauve, wine colors in the beautiful pendant and the coordinating pieces
along with the gorgeous plump freshwater pearls! Every piece just pulls all of this one together to be stunning and beautiful!
I've used some very nice Bali silver beads along with a highly ornate rectangle Bali silver handmade toggle clasp.
All are enhanced with the ruby iris Japanese seed beads. This necklace measures approximately 23-24" not including the 2 1/2"
pearl and pendant drop.

On a recent trip out West I discovered a quaint little bead
shop in St Charles, MO. Inside was one of the most charming young salesclerks
I've ever met. I found some gorgeous treasures during that whole trip but none
more gorgeous than these stunning highly faceted Turquoise Fire Agate beads! I
really hope the photos do this one justice but they usually don't, do they?! I've accented this
set with laser cut sterling silver beads and a really cool pave round
STRONG magnetic clasp. Of course any other clasp can be requested. This one
measures approx 16"; for lengths other than indicated please email me

They are a cobalt blue with splashes of lime green and are gorgeous. The focal bead on the bracelet measures a tad over 1/2" in diameter and on the necklace approx 3/4' in diameter.

I have added closeups of the earrings and bracelet for your convenience. Accentuating all of these are a custom mix of Japanese glass seedbeads in shades that bring out the beauty of the lampworks and the crystals. Truly a ONE OF A KIND and stunning set!!!!

Absolutely stunning necklace with a cutout purple pendant with
rose or violet rhinestones accentuated with highly faceted designer Chinese crystal rondelles in several colors including white opal, iridescent
rainbow purple, and a couple more. Not
Swarovski but, oh my, how beautiful! I've also
added a fabulous rectangle Bali silver toggle clasp and finished it all off with
matching sparkly purple amethyst seed beads. Email if interested in
matching earrings for pricing.
Please note: This was on a different page at one time but it has been so popular I now just have one of these pendants
left so it has become a "one of a kind".

ONE-OF-A-KIND! This set is designed with some really
high-end handmade beads by Michelle Hershman of Enchanting Beads.
She called the set "Lampwork Beads Pink Roses on Black". You would have to see
them to really appreciate the intricate detail! I designed something special
with the last bead of the set - a pendant that can be put on any delicate chain
of your choice. I've accented the handmade lampworks with a simple Bali silver square
bead. If you really love roses you will be sorry you passed this one up! I will
be happy to string a necklace for the pendant for you for a nominal charge. The
lampwork beads in this set were very expensive because of the highly intricate
detail - you won't be disappointed!

These are incredible handmade lampwork beads purchased several
months ago. Since then my computer crashed so I have no idea who the artist
was who created them. However I used all I had to design this special
bracelet and earring set. I've used a gorgeous vermeil gold toggle clasp to
finish the bracelet or will use Bali silver if that is desired. It measures approximately 6 1/2-6 3/4" but remember the
focal bead and surrounding couple of beads are quite large which would add
some to the length you would need. I can add an inch or two with spacers but
could not go much larger than that. It is truly an awesome set!!

This one features a beautiful handmade dichroic pendant in shades of purple and pale gold that looks like tapestry! It simply glows and as with any dichroic
trying to photograph it is near impossible to capture the true beauty. It is a handmade pendant and I've paired it with Swarovski Tanzanite faceted crystals,
and purple iris seedbeads. I've finished the whole necklace off with a simple lobster claw clasp. The matching earrings are designed with the
Swarovski Tanzanite crystals and gold vermeil beads. This one measures approx 18" but I will customize it for you. The pendant itself measures approx 1 1/2" x 1/2".

Oh my! How to describe this beauty!! It features a gorgeous
handmade dichroic pendant in black and a topaz gold with just a hint of green. I've
created it with Swarovski's faceted rare Madeira Topaz crystals and 2 absolutely awesome gold vermeil fancy beads. To keep it simple and put all the attention on the pendant I've used basic black glass seedbeads.
It measures approx 18" but I will customize it for you. The pendant itself measures approx 1 3/8" x 1/4".

Featuring deep red glass diamond beads with
coordinating Swarovski square rondells in gorgeous Light Siam red with red
firepolished faceted Czech glass rounds. The large diamond shaped beads have
just a touch of topaz yellow so I've added just a few handmade lampwork gold
lined clear spacers to bring out that pretty topaz. I've completed the
necklace with a beautiful Bali silver toggle clasp. The set is available in
gold vermeil if desired but the firepolish rounds with silver and the red
rondells will be in silver since I don't have them in gold. This particular
necklace measures approx 18". The earrings are almost 1 3/4" from the top of
the earwire. To keep it all simple and let the colors shine through I've used a black seedbead.

A gorgeous study in Black and White this set
features RARE uncirculated pure white swirl beads from Swarovski and genuine
black onyx in several shapes and sizes. I've had the Swarovski's for many years and was not able to purchase
many of them so they have been waiting for me to have an inspiration on how to
use them. This set is the result! The necklace measures a generous
22" and ends with one of the long twisted black onyx beads although the
photo doesn't really show that. The earrings measure approx 2" from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the
faceted oval bead. I've added
some silver and black rhinestone rondelles and a beautifully detailed Bali silver toggle
clasp to finish it off.

I discovered and managed to purchase a very few of the beads featured in this necklace - I was so enamored
by their beauty that I didn't even attach a clasp. I didn't want anything to deter you from appreciating these spectacular beads. They are
fluted barrel beads electroplated with fabulous rainbow ends that glisten and shine as you move. The beautiful colors will go with almost
anything you wear! In the middle there is a gorgeous designer faceted glass
bead in a deep rainbow purple. I've used a deep purple iris seedbead that brings out all the colors of the rainbow beads. There are two pair of earrings
below that will go with this beauty!

Designed to match the necklace above these are BOLD AND SPECTACULAR!! For the lady who demands attention
and usually gets it in the most flattering way! I've used one of each of the sizes in the necklace to make a statement. The pair below are smaller
and more dainty but still attention getting! If you prefer just the large bead in these earrings just change the length to the right to
saying "1 bead" and I will make them with one large bead.
