This is a beautiful piece of designer handmade jewellery. I have used specialty glass lamp work beads by Bead Goddess Laura Sparling. Each bead has been wonderfully handmade with accurate and precise stringer work. The beads are a delightful shade of light peach and are so shiny and touchable it feels like you could almost eat them! (But please don’t!). I have teamed these fabulous beads with some bright sterling silver chain, cream freshwater pearls and a luxurious peach satin bow. This beautiful handmade necklace is a real piece to treasure and is a true one off…. never to be made again I’m afraid!
£46 BUY
Necklace measures approx 16 inches, all metal parts are sterling silver.

I treated myself to a day of jewellery making on Sunday but this time I made sure I had a chance to use some of the stash of Lampwork beads made by the wonderfully talented Laura Sparling. I have said before how much I love her beads and the set that I used for this Sterling silver bracelet was especially hard to part with because I love the colour purple so much! You have to be pretty quick to get hold of Laura’s beads as they sell so quickly (probably because she is so damn good) so this bracelet is even more special!
I also managed to make a few other bits using more of Laura’s beads but I have yet to get them up on the site…Plus I am still deciding whether to keep them for myself!

I have been quite busy over the past few months, with us moving and people coming over to visit. The site has been slightly neglected… hopefully you should be seeing new additions to the website more regulary! Here is a peak at my latest designs available here.
I think my personal favourite has to be the gorgeous vintage style Humming Bird earrings created by some beautiful vintage style Humming Bird charms, fresh water pearls and pink flower charms. These are definitely a special addition for your vintage jewellery collection! I have also added a wonderful sterling silver bracelet featuring one of the wonderful focal beads made by Jan Jennings of Crystal Gardens. The Vintage Rose sterling silver bracelet has a real ‘old feel’ to it whilst still being relatively modern with its shiny silver look! Also don’t miss the return of my popular vintage inspired I love Tea and Cake earrings! They are such a fun addition to your vintage jewellery collection that how can you possibly resist. Finally, how could I not add another signature vintage inspired charm bracelet to the collection with this Little Lady pink and gold charm bracelet design featuring lots of vintage charms, glass beads and a vintage inspired cameo. Gorgeous!
