Before John Bead’s social media program began we had a series of stunning jewelry and jeweled pieces created by one designer for the showroom.  These pieces were designed Adela Kodonova and you can read more about her here.

This necklace is one of many samples you can see if you visit the showroom.  It is a brilliantly executed design using an unusual fiber.

This is our nylon mesh tubing collection.  The mesh is available in three sizes/widths: 4mm, 9-10mm and 16 mm in this wonderful color palette that includes metallic silver and gold.

You can see in this close up how Adela added beads to the inside of the mesh and then added beads to create sections.  The beads are fluid and the piece has a unique 3d shape that would be difficult to create with other materials.

Here is the mesh with pearls and beads.  Isn’t this a gorgeous brooch?

Using bigger beads in thinner mesh creates something spectacular like this necklace.

This knotted pendant is the first example I saw featuring mesh.  Try some!
