Holdfast Designs Unique Jewelry for You and Your Dog

Necklaces by Holdfast Designs

My necklaces are made with either hand crafted lampwork (glass) beads or natural stone, incorporating sterling silver or gold-filled beads and chains.  Where appropriate, Swarovski touches are also included.

Necklace lengths vary depending on the style and components and, in some cases, they can be lengthened or shortened without compromising the overall design or requiring a great amount of rework or restringing.

Please take a moment, browse around and discover what I have to offer.  If you see something that appeals but you'd like customized, please send me a note from my "Contact Us" page.

Black Spinel and Swarovski


In this necklace, I've combined clear Swarovksi with tiny black Swarovski crystals and large rounded cubes of black spinel into a necklace focal area.  (Spinel is a naturally occurring crystal and is believed to possess calming and healing properties.) The chain of the necklace is sterling silver, accented with tiny black spinel beads.



The necklace is approximately 18 inches in length and closes with a tiny star-shaped toggle clasp.

Earrings to coordinate with this necklace may be special ordered.  Please send me a note using the "Contact Us" page if you would like matching earrings.

Lapis Lazuli Fan

These graduated lapis lazuli beads form a graceful fan shape, separated by small gold-filled beads and set off by gold-filled chain.  Lapis lazuli is reputed to encourage creativity, aid in taking charge of life and bring honesty, compassion and uprightness to the personality.



The necklace is approximately 16 inches in length and has a toggle clasp.
