Below I've published 27 posts (whew, that took a while) showing the lampwork jewellery I have available at the moment. All of my jewellery uses sterling or pure silver and is hand created by me. I don't like to repeat myself so you can rest assured that you'll never come across someone else with the same piece of jewellery... each piece is unique. Stranded jewellery is strung on nylon-coated stainless steel cable for strength and ease of wearing. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
Please contact me at willa.slater@gmail.com if you are interested in an item or if you have any questions.
Best regards,

Framed
This necklace features a lampworked bead suspended in a glass frame on sterling silver wire. I've strung this on cable made with a stainless steel core, plated in sterling silver and then coated in nylon. This cable is soft to the touch, shiny, flexible and tarnish free and I use it in a
lot of my jewellery. The hand made clasp is made from sterling as well. It is 27.5" (50.5 cm) long but I can shorten it for you. $60
Twisted Barrel
A nice necklace with a focal bead that was given a twist. Unusual and easy to wear with a little black dress or a pair of jeans. This necklace is 27" (69 cm) long with a 2.5" (6.5 cm) pendant. $45
Superman
The colours in this 3 cable strand necklace reminds me of superman. Lots of bali silver and copper edged beads make the one very useful in most wardrobes. It is 26" (66.5 cm) long with a 3" (8 cm) pendant. $90
Super Flowers
I really like this one. Three lampwork beads that are similar in theme but individuals in their own right combine with crystals and glass drops strung with sterling silver chain make this one suitable for a Saturday morning of shopping the boutiques or a glamorous date. Lovely, fun and easy to wear. It is 27.5" (70.5 cm) long with a 3" (8 cm) pendant but I can shorten it as much as 6" if you prefer. $120
Stormy Ocean
This is my personal favourite. I made the beads after being inspired by an illustration of a box of young birds by Marjolein Bastien but they remind me of a stormy ocean. I've combined them with shell, small etched beads, crystals, multifaceted smoky quartz and Bali silver for a necklace that is earthy but with a heavenly sparkle. This one is 24.5" (63 cm) long with a 2" (5 cm) pendant. $120 SOLD
And I made earrings to coordinate with it. $20
Springwork Orange
A play on Clockwork Orange but without the violence! This one is remarkably easy to wear despite its avant-garde appearance. I made all of these beads and all of the silver components except for the small beads and spacers. $175 for this unique and original piece of art. it is 20" (51.5 cm) long and has a 3" (8 cm) pendant.
Spring Pond
This one reminds me of a pond in the woods on a day in late spring. The lampwork focal is accented by a selection of glass beads and ceramic cubes. Someone liked this one so much it has gone to a new home. $60 SOLD
Fiesta Garland
Happy days it's spring again and this necklace nearly jumps for joy. This one is currently being worn by someone who just couldn't resist it and I hope its bringing smiles to many faces. $45 SOLD
Spring Beach
A quiet walk on a deserted beach. Tossing a stick for the dog to retrieve. Storm clouds in the distance. That's what this etched focal evokes for me. I've strung it with sodalite cubes and small peridot rounds for a quiet casual feel. 22" (56.5 cm) long with a 1.5" (4 cm) long focal but this one can be shortened to suit you. $55
Pink Bells
Unusual to say the least, this focal is surrounded by flowers made from bali silver caps filled with Swarovski crystal that move nicely as you walk. Sophisticated and old-fashioned. At 18.5" (48.5 cm) it hangs at about the collarbone level for me but I can shorten it to suit you. $70 SOLD
Rubino Oro Charm Bracelet
Nifty Italian sterling silver bracelet with a large hole bead slider and 4 clip-on charms. Charmed a nice lady who will wear it with a new dress to her dad's birthday party. Sweet! $70 SOLD
Ring Fringe
A layered petal bead offset by class rings. The rings move slight as you walk. Neat! Different but still sophisticated enough for the office. 21.5" (55 cm) long with a 1,5" (4 cm) focal but it can be shortened to suit you better. $45
Amethyst Victoriana
This amethyst focal is enhanced by small glass flowers, hand-cut crystal cone beads and a lot of Bali silver. This necklace measures 25" (64 cm) long without the 3" (8 cm) pendant but I can shorten it for you to your specifications. The 3" dangle at the closure is detachable. It has a luxurious Victorian feel and is a pleasure to wear. $85
Ovals & Circles
One of my favourities. I love this colour combination of soft blue-green and brown. Amononite oval frames, ceramic round frames and lots of Swarovski bring the round lampwork focal, the 2 lampwork barrels and the 3 lentils to life. At 22.5" (58 cm) it is extremely wearable with this summer's scooped necklines or over a turtleneck on cooler days. The dangle at the closure is 2.5" (6.5 cm) long. $90
Orange Sunshine
A happy orange and yellow necklace with a ton of Bali silver and a positive outlook on life. :-) Great for summer fun, it is 19" (49 cm) long. $45
Blue Jean Elegance
This sweet and simple necklace would go perfectly with jeans and t-shirt. It has "made in the shade" written all over it. It is 21.5" (55 cm) long not counting the 2" (6 cm) pendant drop. $35
In The Pink
Fantastic pink. I'm not the world's biggest fan of pink but this is an eye catcher. Soft hand carved flowers of rose quartz cascade down a double strand of jewellery cable to a small lampwork focal to create a necklace with elegant flare. About 22.5" (55 cm) long measured to wear the top strands intersect, with a 2" (6 cm) drop pendant. $75
Sunshine petals
Sunflowers, meadows, bright sunshine all combined in a fun summer necklace. The focal is by me, the petals were purchased but they are an inspiration I'm sure to follow soon! 17" (44 cm) long with a 3" (8 cm) extension chain. $45
Circle Game
Simple but completely unique. Strung on 2 sterling plated, nylon encased cables on a hand made bale. It measures 22.5" (48 cm) long at the present but I can shorten it to suit you better. The focal pendant is 1.5" (4 cm) long. $60
Amber and Turquoise flower
When I purchased this chain on-line I had no idea how soft and luxurious it would feel. I just had to use it as a chain for a lovely amber and turquoise focal for an eye-catching combination. It is 22" (56.5 cm) long with a 3.25" (8.5 cm) pendant. $70
Sapphire Capri
The focal bead of Streaky Sapphire glass wrapped in pure silver wire goes perfectly with the capri Swarovski crystals and Thai silver leaves. Light and airy! It is 19.5" (50 cm) long but can be shortened to any length you want. $50
Amazonite
Spectacular combo of lampwork, amazonite, small cultured pearls and crystal. You're sure to get lots of compliments when you wear this necklace. $85 SOLD
Beaded Mandella
The lampwork focal has been enhanced with a beaded net and strung on 2 strands of jewellery cable. This fun and casual necklace is 25" (63 cm) log with a 1.5" (4 cm) pendant. $55
Black and White Affair
Simple and elegant with a fun twist. This necklace is 22.5" (51.5 cm) long and $35
Aqua and Brown
Unusual and eye catching, this combination of aqua and blue is wearable year around and sure to attract notice. It is a generous 26" (66.5 cm) long with a 3" (8 cm) pendant. $90
Aurora Borealis Firefly Spring sale
I participated in the 2nd annual spring sale (this 1st sale for me) and had a great time meeting a lot of lovely shoppers and seeing what other Flies are up to. Now I'm going to try posting pictures of my work.
This first one is one of my more extravagant pieces. This necklace is for that special occasion. I made the chainmail from hand cut sterling silver rings and combined it with four lampwork beads and strung it on 2 loops of sterling-plated, nylon-coated stainless steel cable. When worn the weight of the piece pulls the cables together and it lies flat and comfortable. This necklace is no lightweight but is very comfortable to wear. I'm asking $175 for this unique creation which measures 25" (64 cm) long with a 3" (8 cm) drop to the bottom of the pendant. SOLD
