Earrings....

Yes, my new stamps have arrived...just haven't had any time to play about with them yet...maybe this week...I did manage to make a few things this week though 'Elysium' beautiful sparkly black spinel marquise cut stones with goldfill wire & hoops...love these they are so elegant.

'Theda Noir' these are my most requested earrings, this pair again is in sparkling black spinel...yummy....seem to have a black thing going on lately.

And from my satin silver range I have added some new 'Satin Hearts' & 'Satin discs'...these are great for everyday wear.

Pendants!!!

Sorry it has been so long since my last update....I am back from my holiday feeling refreshed and full of design ideas, Egypt was wonderful....I just need to find the time now to turn the ideas into designs.

I thought it was about time that I put my silversmithing course to good use and have been making a variety of pendants this week here are a few of them 'Sunshine on Silver' a hammered sterling silver rectangle with a beautiful Aragonite stone set at the bottom.

'Dot to Dot' a hammered disc with a random pattern of polka dots and finally 'Hidden Secrets' a clamshell pendant which conceals a hand wirewapped carnelian briolette inside....I have one of these myself and love it. These are all available on my website at the moment.

I have had so much fun making them and cannot wait to my new stamps and tools to arrive to try out some more ideas......

Old & New

Hi everyone,

I have had a great time this week making up some new designs and some that are a variation of loved designs....here we go....first off is 'Suomi' which is Finnish for Finland...couldn't be a better name really for this simple necklace with 5 round spectrolite stones, but what stones...these are beautiful, wonderful depth and flashes...

'Merna'...This is a variation of my much requested 'Theda' earrings, these are so versatile and light to wear, this pair was designed with Apatite gemstones on goldfill hoops, but these can be made with most gemstone, contact me if you are interested in a pair just for you....'Merna' is available on my website now.

'Caspian' is a stunning Labradorite pendant with wonderful blue fire flashes, hand wirewrapped in sterling silver and complimented with a cluster of charms, Blue Obsidian, sterling silver and freshwater pearl...

Lime Salsa & Lotus Bud

Here are a couple of the designs that I have been working on this week, more of those luscious gemstones, 'Lime Salsa' is a really vibrant pendant with gorgeous boro glass, gemstones and a beautiful large freshwater lime green pearl mmmm lovely..... The 'Lotus Bud' earrings are a design that I have made before, but I love these Karen Hilltribe siver lotus buds, so what better an excuse to make them with these vibrant and luscious Rhodolite Garnets with lots of lovely sparkle......Hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday...Bye for now x

Commission....& More

A commission set... 'Emma' earrings and a long tassel pendant with cluster of keshi pearls and flashy labradorite....I love this pendant, my favourite look at the moment.

I have also had time to make 'Auorora' a bracelet with beautiful artisan made borosilicate glass beads combined with brushed silver beads, these beads are gorgeous and have a stunning range of colours encapsulated inside.......and the lovely 'Gossamer Earrings, Artisan made silver lined cubes sit beneath a cluster of shimmering Apatite, Moonstone, Blue Topaz and Amethyst gemstones.....delicious.

I recently had a request for some felted earrings, this is the outcome.....'Little Sprouts' & 'Glace', handmade merino wool felted beads, in a wide variety of colours hang from sterling silver earwires and come in their own handmade muslin bag.

Lovely Gems

I have been having a few days off whilst waiting on new supplies, at last some of them finally arrived, beautiful borosilicate lampwork, with a wonderful wave design which I have complimented with luscious gemstones, this pair of earrings are called Nyquist, I have been reliably informed by my husband this this is the name a wave form.....hence the name...whooo very technical.

This necklace design is called Cassis, a luscious gemstone tassel necklace with a lovely Rose Quartz dew drop gemstone.... both of these new designs are available on my website from this evening(Tuesday).

Sky & Persian Blue

I love Hemimorphite it is such a calming shade of blue, the rondelles I have used in these earrings have a lovely milky smooth finish and look great with the dark grey earwires, these have been made with just one piece of sterling silver with organic shaped balls, I think they compliment the simplicity of the stone perfectly.

I have also made these gorgeous vibrant blue pearl earrings 'Persian Indigo' complimented by creamy keshi pearls with handmade sterling silver ball headpins

A Lovely Mothers Day

I have had a lovely mothers day today, breakfast in bed....tea, toast, papers the works, it was lovely, the rest of the day I have spent playing about with silver, hammering, making little silver balls and pendants to be precise, it was such good fun.....and here is the result, an organic shaped teardrop pendant with little soldered pebbles....you can find 'pebbles' on my website from this evening.....
