Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! Blog Hop

This time I am participating in the Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! Blog Hop .
I am so excited, I love pearls, all kinds of pearls!!
This blog is hosted by Michelle from : http://www.misheldesigns.blogspot.com/
A very special thank you to Michelle for hosting this blog hop.
Please visit her blog and you will be able to see all the treasures from the the participants.

The necklace above is made with freshwater pearls and is a russian spiral stitch.
All my freshwater pearls are from JJ beads in Huntington Beach, California.

This bracelet is a kit I purchased at JJ beads.
Is Freshwater pearls and seed beads.


This bracelet is called Lilac Lace and the designer is Yasmin Sarfati, this pattern is from the Beadwork Magazine Feb/March 2013.
I used cream color glass pearls(Hobby Lobby), brown crystals from JJ Beads and gold seed beads.



This necklace is made with crystals and freshwater pearls and the pendant is a pattern from Jenny Van, called Crystal Passion.

This last necklace is made of freshwater pearls and they are drilled on the top so when strung they are alternate, one on one side, the next on the other side. Those are also from JJ beads.
This was a lot of fun, thank you again Michelle, and don't forget to visit the Hop here:

  1. Your bead stitching is amazing and I love how the pearls look mixed in with the crystals. I love the top drilled pearl necklace too. It is amazing the different looks that can be achieved just by using pearls that are drilled in different ways! Beautiful.

  3. Hi Jasvanti,
    What a treasure trove of beautiful work! I love the earthy tones, it seems like you are already thinking of fall. While each piece is marvelous I think that last one really captures my imagination. Great job :-)

  4. I just don't know where to start - your designs are ALL so amazing! The first necklace just took my breath away - so feminine and perfect! Lovely colors. The second bracelet is great - especially the colors again, looks like the AZ desert where I live. And the Lilac Lace pattern bracelet is a stunner - love the width - bold, yet delicate. The Crystal Passion necklace is perfect. It's so versatile and could be worn everyday and the last necklace is the same - love that one! I especially like how you mixed the colors in that one - I have such a hard time doing that and you have done an amazing job. Thanks so much for participating in the hop, I hope you had fun creating with all your gorgeous pearls!
