Having my jewelry designs on the hit TV show "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" started my whole journey as a handmade jewelry designer. I've been digging through the archives and found these great pics (before HD TV!) of some classic
Peggy Li Creations handmade jewelry that appeared on season 4 of the show. This is what started it all! Remember the stretchy Swarovski Crystal bracelet trend? I used a lot of crystals in these designs, "floating" necklaces and bits of silver. I was so amazed and proud to see these earrings, necklaces and bracelets being worn by the likes of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan. What a thrill each week to watch the show and see what would unfold!
A lot of the designs are no longer available but that doesn't mean I can't still make 'em ;).
Browse through these Buffy season 4 screenshots and enjoy jewelry worn on Buffy!
From the Season 4 episode, "The Freshman", Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers wears my
Illusion Choker Necklace in pinks. This floating invisible wire necklace features sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.
From the Season 4 episode "Harsh Light of Day", Willow (Alyson Hannigan) wears a handmade necklace made of copper wire. I created each link by hand, swirling copper wire and attaching small dangles to each section. The piece was a popular item on the website, and the copper aged over time into a rich dark patina.
Season 4 episode "Harsh Light of Day", Buffy wakes up wearing only a Peggy Li Creations ribbon cuff! This cuff was made from wide woven ribbon, backed with soft supple suede and closed with hook and eye closures.
In episode "Fear, Itself", Buffy wears a one-of-a-kind woven sterling silver and Swarovski crystal choker necklace. I wove fine silver wire into an almost spider-web like pattern, weaving in tiny Swarovski crystals into the web for a glittering effect.
For the episode "Beer Bad", Buffy briefly wears a special floating necklace I made using just some simple sterling silver swirls and sterling silver crimp beads. A truly unique necklace that just glittered subtlety in the light.
From Season 4 Buffy episode "Wild at Heart", Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers wears a 4-Crystal Floating Necklace in a combination of pink Swarovski crystals. More illusion wire and floating crystals!
In the same episode, we see Buffy being very reflective and wearing my
Illusion Choker Necklace in the Blues colors. At this point, I was amazed that they'd used so many of my pieces of jewelry on the show!
One of the best Buffy episodes ever, Season 4 "Hush". Buffy wears a handmade turquoise suede cuff that features vintage felt flowers. I found these vintage felt flowers in a crumbling cardboard box in the back of a tiny bead shop in the heart of Hollywood. Real wool, some of the flowers had been destroyed by moths. The remaining, pristine flowers I sewed by hand onto a suede cuff. I love how the color of the bracelet matched her top perfectly!
Big baddie Harmony (
Mercedes McNab), Spike's girlfriend, wears an illusion choker necklace featuring floating feathers and sterling silver. I loved how these feathers stood against your throat and seemed to float there -- an interesting accent for a vampire, no?
In the Buffy episode "Something Blue", Willow (Alyson Hannigan) finds herself jealous of her BFF Buffy finding a love interest (in hunky Riley). Here, Willow wears a handmade turquoise necklace I made using leather, turquoise beads and knotted. It's perfectly Willow style, with bright color and an earthy edge.
