My wee girl, who has just turned 10, is having to have some orthodontic treatment done. Today she needed to have 2 baby teeth extracted. Fortunately I have a very good friend who is a dentist in Winchester and that does make it easier, but it’s still not much fun for a little girl (or a mum…..)

Michael, thank you so much for getting it done as painlessly as possible.

This necklace was made for Theresa, whose wedding was over the weekend. We decided on a Stick Pearl Necklace as the dress had a low neckline and needed a bold necklace. The Pearls were a perfect colour - iridescent white with pink tinges.

I love this as an option for wedding jewellery as it is definitely something you could use again afterwards - perfect with jeans and a white shirt!

Another of my range of swarovski crystal Christmas baubles, this one is a beautiful faceted circle - 20mm in diameter and matched with sterling silver - perfect for adorning your Christmas tree! Contact me at jenni@twinkleberry.co.uk for details

I made this bracelet with a strand of Mother of Pearl I bought recently - different colours to the one I used for this necklace, but gorgeous none the less. This strand is a combination of white, cream, champagne, grey and gold - perfect for Bridal jewellery!

I’ve used one of my favorite Rose gold Toggle clasps to finish it off.

Lovely Linda got me thinking about xmas a couple of weeks ago. It’s a frightening thought that we are heading for the countdown to one of my favorite times of the year - where has this year gone??

I love the early evenings, log fires, mulled wine and mince pies (this year I am going to make my own!) and the Winchester christmas lights - which are beautiful. Mostly I love getting our christmas tree and decorating it, Dave and I have our annual argument about how big the tree should be - I want the biggest one I can fit into the house.

I’ve made a range of Swarovski crystal decorations to hang on a tree or in a window, I don’t know if we will manage to get them onto the site, so contact me at jenni@twinkleberry.co.uk for info.

This one is a very large star - 28mm and there is a larger one available too - 40mm. They can be strung on the ribbon colour of your choice.

I really struggled to find some more Cranberry Pearls for this bracelet. For some reason I just couldn’t find any that I liked - they were either too small or just not the rich,vibrant cranberry colour that I was after. I was thrilled when I found these and so bought loads of them! I have used some for this bracelet, which is a combination of pearls and sterling silver barrel beads wire wrapped together and finished with a toggle clasp.

I had to have this silver flower shape when I saw it recently. I have used it as a pendant with a silver tassel falling from it. It’s made a very unusual piece and as I only bought one of them (what was I thinking….?) a one off piece. I have attached a variety of jewel coloured Swarovski crystals to the tassel - it’s so pretty!

This necklace was quite an unusual one for me. I came across this strand of faceted glass some time ago and just loved the colour and shine. The beads are very large and I had never worked with beads that were this big - I was intimidated! I’ve kept them for ages, just not really being sure what to do with them and I still like them as much now as when I bought them. They are a truly gorgeous colour. I tried using just one bead on it’s own - mixed with other components - but somehow it just seemed like they needed to be used together and so that’s what I ended up doing, each bead is separated with a simple silver bead and the glass remains the star of the show. It’s a really substantial necklace and I am delighted with it.

This little bracelet has been hugely popular. It’s a combination of faceted Smoky Quartz, Swarovski Crystals and the most unusual sterling silver nuggets all wire wrapped together. It’s a favorite colour combination of mine, but I think people love it because of the little clasp I have used - its a solid silver little rose and completely irresistable!

This bracelet is made using some of the stones that I bought last year - wonderfully faceted chalcedony in the colours of the sky. I’ve used quite a heavy silver chain and a toggle clasp.  As well as wire wrapping some bigger stones into the chain I have attached some dangles to the links themselves and a little cluster to the clasp, so it’s a really full bracelet, that is such fun to wear.

Maryam of My Marrakesh has been to Rwanda in the last week. Today her post was horrifying and I have thought about the genocide that occured there all day. I can’t even imagine how she must have felt - hearing and seeing all she did first hand. How is it that we vow never to let these things happen again and yet they do and how is it that one human being can do these things to another?

I designed these cluster drop earrings to match this necklace - using smaller faceted smoky quartz coin shaped stones and blue and green swarovski crystals. I’ve put these on gypsy hoops but they could also be hung on any other earring hook.

I recently bought some beautifully faceted oval labradorite. It’s a wonderful stone for wearing in winter. The steel grey of the stone is shot through with iridescent colour when it catches the light which makes it really interesting - hard to capture on camera though!

This bracelet uses these lovely stones and sterling silver and is finished with a toggle clasp.
