Blue Pearl Necklace
Lately I’ve felt like making chain necklaces, so here’s another one. This one has a mix of blue freshwater pearls and larger sparkly blue glass beads to give it a mix. I know a lot of people whose favourite colour is blue, so I decided it was time to make a blue necklace that wasn’t ...

Red Yellow Beige Chain
Yesterday I was out and saw this pendant, so I got it because I was thinking that I had lots of beads that would match up with this. The pendant is huge – 2-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ – but, although simple, it looks very nice and creative as a necklace. Those colours together seem to make ...

More Crystal Cancer Pendants
Remember when I told you about learning that the ribbon for brain cancer was ‘grey’, and ended up making a Swarovski crystal pendant in grey because anywhere I found a cancer presentation or sale, they were always showing different colours (without grey), mostly the pink for breast cancer since there’s a lot of advertising with ...

Chunky Chain & Purple
I didn’t want to make one of those traditional chain necklaces which I could have done here. I wanted something totally different looking – and chunky at the same time. Sometimes I’m a little obsessed with making chunky I created this necklace to have a little steam punk look to it and also to have ...

Long Chunky Gemstones
Today I started doing a bit of organizing of the jewellery-making room. As I was organizing I picked up some chunky gemstones that I’d bought a while ago but hadn’t yet made anything. So instead of doing some more organizing, I had to do some more necklace making. In reality, I became the model just ...

I’ve Turned 55
It’s the law that on your birthday you wake up at 4:45 a.m., so I did that on the 20th, I wanted to make sure that I’m always doing what’s right. Today is going to be our second Christmas dinner. On Christmas day we went to my aunt’s house for dinner. It was great to ...

New Rosaries
I had been in the mood to make some more rosaries over the past month. This one is made with some large clear beads, and would take up quite a bit of room in the purse, however, I wanted to make it this big anyway. The rosary is made with clear fire-polished beads along with ...

Not a Christmas Colour
I know Christmas is almost here and, yet, for some reason I decided to make this brassy chain pendant necklace with the turquoise colours. While I have the green and red Christmas colours in my mind, that just didn’t turn into what I was making early this morning. However, I suppose it would make a ...

Blue Criss-Cross Bracelet
I guess that, since I’m not in the U.S. having to make any Thanksgiving dinner, I had the whole day to myself. I got into the mood for making another bracelet, and while I’ve made a lot of this type, I usually made most with Swarovski crystal and I didn’t feel like making this in ...

Gothic Gemstone Bracelet
Since I’m trying to start again with the Jackson Jewellery blog (after virus), then I suppose I should also add some jewellery pics. I had recently made this bracelet. I liked the look of creating these colours together – not something I’d normally pick, however, I think it gives it a more gothic look...
