Ever wanted to have a go at making your own unique and individual jewellery accessories but didn’t know where to start? If this is you charm bracelets and necklaces are the way to go. There are many brands out there which include Pandora, Biagi, Chamilia, Love Links, and Troll just to name a few. The concept behind these charmed modular accessories is that you collect large holed beads which come in a variety of shapes, styles, and sizes, then string them according to your taste. Just think of all the possible colour and style combinations – it’s endless! What’s even better is that you can purchase individually handmade lampwork beads to string onto your bracelet or necklace. How’s that for individual style!
Based in Sydney, Denise of DKS Lampwork makes and sells a variety of beautiful handmade lampwork large-holed beads which will fit on any brand charm chain. Each bead is handcrafted in her home studio, kiln annealed, then cored with sterling silver tube which adds that extra professional touch. Denise also creates lampwork sets and focal beads for those who are into creating their own pieces of jewellery. And for those who don’t feel up to the creativity to make jewellery at all, don’t feel left out as Denise also offers ready-made jewellery at very affordable prices. Denise uses her own lampwork beads in her jewellery so you be assured that your purchase is one of a kind.

DKS beads are magical, that’s the thought that crosses my mind when I look at them. Textured, drifting with colour. Thanks for featuring this artist, I’m thinking I might buy a couple of focal beads in a while, and use them in my jewelery.
