This necklace was made from a Peroni Beer bottle. I embellished alternative beads to get a nice contrast in the beads. I love the beautiful colour of the Peroni glass.

My Etsy Shop SALE
Oh, I thought you might like to know that I have put some jewellery in my Etsy shop on sale! I am still experimenting with what works in the shop, and so I thought I would clear some old work out before I loaded the new jewellery. Enjoy.
Layered Disk Necklaces
Layered disk necklaces made from:
- Coopers Ale bottle
- Banrock Station Wine bottle
- Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle
- Kronenbourg Blanc Be
- Peroni Beer Bottle
Asymmetrical necklaces – modelled
A few people asked me what the asymmetrical necklaces looked like on, so I took some photos of them. The beads at the bottom of the necklace seem to lengthen it even more. Having said that, the necklaces are made with sterling silver chain to clasp into, so you can wear it longer or shorter, it’s up to you. I tend to wear it longer at the moment, but that’s just because of the dresses I am wearing.
- Banrock Station
- Kronenbourg Blanc Beer Bottle
- Bombay Sapphire Gin Bottle
- Coopers Sparkling Ale Bottle
- Peroni Beer Bottle
Asymmetrical Necklaces – recycled glass beads
These are some of my favourite necklaces in the exhibition. I love the length of them, they sit beautifully with a lot of the clothes I am wearing at the moment. A bit longer than usual, and that’s just perfect. There are so many great beads in these necklaces, but I tried to stay true to the colour of the bottle, without too much decoration.

Flower Bead Necklace – Kronenbourg
Oh, I do love this necklace! I tried it on last night, and it’s stunning. The blue is so vivid. I have made a similar style of necklace in the past (in red), but this time I have used small round beads all the way around the necklace, and it really completes the look.
I made the beads from a Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc Beer bottle. It is similar in colour to the Skyy Vodka bottles I have used in the past, but slightly more intense.
You can find this one in the Resonate exhibition at Gallery M. It is priced at $125 (AUD). There are earrings to match.
Coopers Sparkling Ale Beads
And finally, I get to show you the beads made from a Coopers Sparkling Ale bottle (or two)!
I worked out that I made over 1,500 beads for this exhibition. Now it’s time to make the jewellery! Will keep you posted.
Peroni Beer Bottle Beads
I love the colour of these beads, that I have made from a Peroni Beer Bottle. It is such a fresh green, so bright and lively!
