The Hamsa is a Middle Eastern symbol of protection, worn to ward off the “evil eye.” San Diego based jewelry designer TaBouTreasures created this gorgeous Hamsa pendant from fine silver previous metal clay, and used a bezel set dichroic glass cabochon as the “eye”.
This unique pendant - one of her many stunning pieces - hangs on a black leather cord embellished with a peruvian blue opal bead. Check out the whole collection in her Etsy store!

Check out the photo I just received from one of my customers. What a gorgeous pendant! It was hand crafted by Etsy’s MangoTango out of precious metal clay and dichroic glass. So pretty!
I also love The Tribe has Spoken pendant, which is awesome both because of the Survivor theme, and because it’s absolutely stunning.
You can see more of her work in her Etsy shop: mangotango.etsy.com.

Check out this beautiful floral print pendant made by Sue Lawrence-Nester of Elements Jewelry from PMC (silver clay) and a dichroic cabochon.
After firing this piece in her Ultra-Lite kiln, she patinaed it with liver of sulfer to give it an antique look. So pretty!
I love the eclectic style of the jewelry pieces found in Sue’s Etsy shop. In addition to her PMC pendants, she also does amazing wirework and makes beautiful embroidered seed bead jewelry. Check out her entire collection at elementsjewelry.etsy.com.

I am so excited to share these jewelry designs from two of my favorite glass artists: Michelle of Shoozles Fused Glass Jewelry and Poppy of Groovy Glass Girl, made with my fused glass cabochons using two different techniques.
Michelle created this Lavender Wisp Necklace by wire wrapping a cabochon with sterling silver wire. She then strung it with bright lavender and deep purple seed beads for a beautiful summer look. Michelle is also a glass artist, and I absolutely love her amazing use of color. Check out her work on Etsy, but be warned - you’re definitely going to want to own it!
Using similar materials, Poppy created an entirely different look. She surrounded a dichroic cabochon with hand twisted and hammered antique copper to create this gorgeous Blue Dichro Filigree Pendant. In addition to jewelry, Poppy also creates decorative stained glass pieces, like this dragonfly stained glass suncatcher. Browse all of her gorgeous stained glass items in her Etsy shop.

Kimberly of Blue Lady Studios has created more beautiful PMC jewelry using some of the mini dichro cabs that I made for her. I especially like her piece, Kasbah Fine Silver PMC Pendant, shown here, but I’m also a big fan of Purple Daisy, a fine silver flower pendant with a purple polka dot cabochon in its center. Kimberly’s Moonlight Fine Silver PMC Pendant has subtle-yet-stunning texture and is accented by a clear blue dichroic glass cabochon. Be sure to visit Blue Lady Studios to see her entire collection!

This beautiful nursing necklace was made by Dorota of Laughing Starfish Jewelry using one of my Color Spots Lampwork Focal Beads. Dorota’s nursing necklaces are designed for mothers with small children. They are extra strong, to survive a yank by baby, and are hung on satin cord, so when they are tugged they won’t hurt your neck. Best of all, they’re beautiful, so even if you don’t have children, you’ll want to check them out! Visit Dorota’s Etsy store at laughingstarfish.etsy.com.
