I hadn’t made a purple 50 Crystals Ring before. This one was another order last week. I love this colour!

I took this photo of a clear 50 Crystals Ring I made for an order last week

I’ve just finished this cluster necklace and I am very pleased with how it’s turned out. I couldn’t resist the gold chain when I first saw it. It is the most beautiful vintage gold colour – very similar to rose gold. I’ve made the cluster using a large peacock coin pearl, crystals , vibrant blue freshwater pearls and faceted labradorite. The blues and greys of the cluster are a perfect match for the warmth of the gold chain.

I made this necklace using a strand of large shell pearls that I bought recently. Shell pearls are very popular at the moment and I can understand why. The colours and shine are wonderful and they also feel substantial when you wear them, I love my strand and find that I wear it a lot.

This particular necklace has some silver dotted along the strand and is finished with a sterling silver toggle clasp. As with pearls, I recommend buying a strand that is knotted between each pearl.

I made this necklace for a client recently – it’s a version of the Baroque Teardrop Bridal Necklace, which is featured on the site in Champagne. This necklace uses the clear crystal teardrop and white pearls and I think it’s a beautiful, very classic bridal necklace. I’m proud of this range as all my pearl necklaces are strung in the traditional manner, which is by knotting between each pearl. It’s a very labour intense way of stringing, but the pearls then drape beautifully and should the strand ever break, you will not loose all your pearls.

I’ve just finished this bracelet for a client who had bought this one from me a while ago and wanted a similar one, but in green.  I used the palest matt mint green chalecedony, one of my favorite Swarovski colours for the crystals and some Sterling Silver nuggets – and to finish it off – a pure silver handmade Rose Clasp!

This ring was an order for Colleen, who wanted a 50 crystal ring in green.  We were both amazed at how many different shades of green Swarovski has available!  Colleen chose this colour and I think it’s very versatile as you could wear it in summer as well as winter. As I only have my lilac ring featured on the site I thought I would put an image of Colleen’s ring here.

Sadie contacted me in February about making her bridal jewellery for her wedding, which was on Saturday 06/06/2009. While I love the idea of making someones wedding jewellery, I am always a little nervous of bespoke commissions. A wedding is such a special day and everything should be perfect and exactly as you imagine it, and it’s sometimes difficult to interpret someone’s vision as a finished piece.

Sadie was a perfect client though as she knew exactly what she wanted and so, as her pieces progressed, I sent her a photo and she and I both knew quite quickly that we were on the same wavelength.

The necklace and bracelet that she wanted were ornate and quite unique. It was very exciting for me as I had never made anything quite like them and I think we were both very happy with the results.

The bracelet was a cluster of larger crystals with 5 cluster drops hanging from the body of the bracelet.

Sadie’s necklace had a body that was very similar to the bracelet, just using hundreds of smaller crystals and although we did add another feature to the necklace I thought that the body as it is pictured here was just lovely as well.

I must have taken loads of photo’s of this piece, but would you believe that I did not take one of the finished product! I think I was anxious to get it posted to her and it simply slipped my mind. I am hoping that she will let me have one of her wedding pictures to post here……..

These Cluster earrings were ordered by my friend Anita, she liked the other cluster earrings that I have made, but wanted the drop to be a little longer and I made these using more of the blues and greens that she favours. Again, with little smoky quartz faceted discs, which I just love, sadly my strand of them is almost finished!

I didn’t really know what all the macaron fuss was about……

Until a friend bought a box for me in Paris this weekend

Oh dear…….now I know what all the Macaron fuss is about……..
