Turquoise Blue Sea Glass Cocktail Length Sea Shell Necklace

 This is one of those fun necklace where I get out my bag of Fun Beads and just start matching them up and trying them in various combinations until something clicks.

This necklace is unusual for us because we did not make the conch shell beads in this necklace, I found these on clearance and bought them as spacer beads or dangles but these particular beads stand out as being worthy of being in a necklace of their own.

Also the Turquoise Blue sea glass beads were left over from other projects and just seemed to cry out to be used in this necklace and I was really glad to find something that the Graduated Gold Glass Pearl shine in!

It's always great to get out the "Grab Bag" and make something beautiful!

The listing is below and the link to my Etsy Shop is HERE.

Turquoise Blue Sea Glass, Shimmering Gold Glass Graduated Pearl Beads and Curly Conch Sliced Beads. Features Turquoise Sea Glass Beads with Brass Tone Nubby and Golden and Sea Blue Glass Spacer Beads. A Modern 24" Cocktail Length that would go well with Beach and carry over to Evening Wear.


This is a Colorful, Lovely Buttery Smooth Nautical Beach Wear Necklace that will set you apart and show you have a unique Sea Side Style all your own!

The Necklace is 24".
The Conch Beads range from 15mm, (largest Center Bead) to 10mm.
Aqua Glass Rondelle beads are 10mm X 13mm

I made this necklace from my fun bead bag, a collection of beads that just look great together and are Beach ready. I then used my skills to Match the Beads, Select the Design and Create this One of a Kind Jewelry made from All Natural Materials and Built to Last Generations.

Conch and Whelk Shell are considered Spiritual Objects by all Peoples around the World. They have been also used as Money and Signs of High Rank in Primitive Society.

I like to think these Gifts from the Sea Connect with You and Radiate Your Good Feelings Back Out to the Universe. They certainly do have a Grounded, Earthy Feeling that cannot be shown with pictures or described with words. They are very hard to take off or put down.

I Hope This Necklace brings you all the Goodness in this Life You Need, and my Best Wishes Go With Them to You.

Large Primitive Carved Conch Shell Dream Catcher Pendant Necklace

During recent documentation and research Doyle found a connection between these large circular design Gorget Pendants and Dream Catchers.

The Spider played a vital role in Native American Culture, symbolizing mystical powers of being able to weave its web overnight as if by magic and the symbolism of its Eternal Circle beautifully woven, durably built and yet ultimately practical in catching its prey. It is thought that the original Native Cross was modified from an original spider design. below is the Etsy listing copy for this one of a kind Pendant Gorget and the actual listing can be found HERE.

Large Hand Carved Conch Sea Shell Dream Catcher Necklace Pendant 95mm Ancient Mississippian Spider Web Dream Catcher Symbol. Beautiful, Creamy Pink Marble Color on one side, Pastel Orange and Purple Lavender on the other. It's translucence is mesmerizing, its Pattern Engaging. These are Translucent Visual Stunners, it actually seems to be spinning as you look at it, even more so when it is worn and in movement.

This is a Based on a Mississippian Era Pendant found in the Ancient Temple Mounds of Illinois. The picture of the original is included. Only a Person of Great Importance would have owned such a piece and it was believed to have great powers it bestowed on the Person who wore it.

It symbolizes the Perfect web of a Spider which is represented by the cross at the center of the wheel. It is thought to have been a Personal Dream Catcher, much like the small wood and fiber ones made to hang from Native Children's Cradle Boards only this one is for Adults and carries the power associated with such. Dream Catchers were made to catch good and bad feelings in the web, filter them out and pass on the positive directly to the heart of the wearer through the cross in the center.

You can see an another excellent example of this pendant in my other listing of a whirlwind Pendant and the original documentation picture of the Temple Mound Archeological Find at:

Making a Pre Contact Medicine Star Conch Shell Gorget Pendant

Here is Doyle Creating a Hand Carved New Conch Shell Pendant Ancient Late Mississippian Era 1350-1500ad.


 First he draws the pattern









Then he hand carves the initial design in relief.

Here he is doing the finishing cuts and polish before he hand wet sands the piece

Then It's my turn, I select the beads and lay out the optimal design, for this choker, I chose Conch Beads and Turquoise Nuggets to set off the design, as well as Authentic Terra Cotta Chief Trade Beads to add to its loveliness.












And here is the result, Beautiful!

Here is the final etsy listing:

Steampunk an Old Dress Form for an Awesome Jewelry Display

Latest Update, This Model has SOLD and is on her way to her new home, I've listed another with stand HERE!

UPDATE! THIS MODEL IS NOW FOR SALE IN MY ETSY SHOP! CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS!(This item has sold, but I'm keeping the link active).

First Strip off the old fabric and clean with a finger brush as best as you can. do not get wet, it is actually made of pressed paper and will swell up and fall apart.

Expand the form for the first coat of black paint.

Using the paint type shown below, first paint the form gloss transparent black,  Use as many coats as you can for full coverage, be sure to paint in seams and into armpits on the inside.


Let dry and close up form, adjusting to desired shape.

 Touch up spots where paint has come off.

Using a damp terry cloth, dab into red gloss transparent paint and rub or dab onto form, covering thinly and then dabbing more color here and there for effect.

This will make your form look like brown leather, and you can stop here if that's the look you are going for.

Next you will take your gold paint and squirt on your damp towel, (you don't have to clean towel, a little red mixed in is good), and rub in.

This picture shows the gold paints rubbed in to the cloth you don't want it too gobbed up or your dabbing will look splotchy.

Begin patting the gold paint into the form starting at the top and moving downward, if you get too heavy of coverage, just dab with a damp corner of the rag to lift it off.

Be sure to dab your gold paint on areas that would show more wear such as shoulders and point of bust as well as seams.

Below shows more dabbing of paint and the finished form.

Keep in mind the top was all rusted, the gold paint now has made the hardware look brassy again!

The screw and bolt on top was silver, I even painted it black, red then silver to make it look brass too!
I also put more brass where the screws were to make them look like they had been turned over the years.

This project went wonderfully, if you have any questions, leave me a comment, also, if you end up making over your form, remember to leave a comment with a link to where I can share the pictures of your success!

By doing this, your form will still be functional after it dries too, so you can use it to still make dresses on only you wont have to hide it in a back room anymore!
