Our latest projects are on pages 32 through 36 of Creative Beads & Jewellery Magazine Issue 4 (out now- July 2010). Using gorgeous huge Lemon Quartz briolettes, peridot and bicones we create a necklace, bracelet, and two different styles of earrings for a fabulous bright, quality set.
  
This project is in Creative Beads & Jewellery Magazine, Issue 2, pages 94-95. Using a mixture of Indian Silver Plated beads and Blue Peruvian Opal beads we make a necklace, bracelet and earrings set.
  
Make Jewellery Magazine (Cover and Feature)- beautiful tiara, matching brooch and earrings by Dorothy Wood (www.dorothywood.co.uk) using our gemstone beads! Use some of our other faceted roundels and faceted marquis cut briolettes to personalise this project.
  
On pages 26-27 of Make Jewellery Magazine's March 2010 issue we have a project using African Amethyst round beads, purple and bronze pearls and Indian copper beads and clasps, you can make a stunning double strand necklace, bracelet and earrings set for very little cost!
 
On pages 70-71 of Beads & Beyond Magazine February 2010 issue our project uses a Fimo focal from our friends at www.dobeadoo.com to inspire a pearl and Vesuvianite necklace. Little green and bronze nugget pearls and Vesuvianite faceted roundels combine beautifully together for this visually textural piece.
 
Our project "Natural Touch" in Make Jewellery Magazine Issue 8 page 73 uses Fluorite chips, 4mm and 6mm round beads and Blister Pearls in Teal (Aqua) and Bronze for a stunning necklace. You will have enough beads left over for a matching bracelet and earrings of your own design! (update: we have run out of 4mm Purple Fluorite rounds and recommend using 4mm Green Fluorite Rounds or Crystal Quartz 4mm Rounds instead).
 
Our Project in Beads & Beyond Magazine November 2009 uses a number of our rounds beads in 4-5mm size including Peridot, Brazilian Amethyst, and Carnelian. We have also used Red Jade faceted roundels, but try Rhodolite Garnet for an even more beautiful effect! The handmade artisan lampwork beads are by the very talented Mike Poole: www.tillerman.co.uk
  
 
We recommend The Make Jewellery Collection, available now from WH Smith and Make Jewellery Magazine directly. Priced at £9.99 it is amazing value with over 100 projects including 4 of our projects from Issues 1-4 of the Magazine. An ideal gift for a jewellery designer!
