Beaded Ring

My Party Piece


The main piece of jewellery I will never be seen without is a ring, my hands feel bare without them. The bigger the rings the better, because whats the point in wearing them if they can't be seen! I bought this great pattern for making a ring with chineese crystal beads, the rings are really stylish and make great party accessories.

Amber Necklace


A friend at work brought a gold ring I made and wanted a necklace to go with it. She wanted the jewellery to go with the new dress she had for a party. I found these glass foil beads and thought they were perfect, kinda wanted to keep the necklace myself! I think the best thing about getting jewellery custom made is you know no one else is going to have the same piece as you, and best of all when asked where you brought your jewellery you can casually reply - "It's bespoke, darling."

Humbug necklace



I made this necklace to go with a new dress stripy navy blue and white dress that I got in Spain. The white stripy beads remind me of humbugs!

Blue earrings



I made these for a lovely older lady who had seen some of my jewellery had wanted some earrings made in royal blue. These are chineese crystal beads that I have put onto gold hoops.

The first piece of Jewellery I made.

Well, it isn't the first piece I EVER made (I started making earrings when I was about 10 years old, and was quite a little entrepreneur. However, like all children; or more specifically teenage girls, I became less interested in hobbies  and more focused on boys.) I started making jewellery again about a year ago when my mum (who is a scrapaholic, aka - loves all things scrap booking) took my to a bead/craft shop.  Hypnotised by the rainbow of glittering beads my love for jewellery design was reborn!
