For the Bride -- Cora, Swarovski Pearl Bracelet & Earrings

I have been working on some more bridal pieces and have just started to uploaded these to my shop. "Cora" (bracelet and earrings) are made with ivory/off white swarovksi pearls. Two sizes of pearl are handwired into shape to form 3 rows. Very pretty and still very dramatic. See more like this in my online shop.

Lots and lots of gold plated beads

I received a shipment of gold plated beads, lots and lots of them so have been experimenting with ideas. Love the fact that so many creations can be made from a simple bead ;o)

Long Dangle Earrings - Swarovski Crystal

These elegant long earrings feature swarovski cystals offset with a large round crystal (10mm). The earrings measure 2.75" in length from the tops of the wires (ie. where the earrings enter the ear). Even though these earrings are light they are still very dramatic and shine beautifully under the light.

These earrings would suit bride/bridesmaids but are also perfect for a special occasion.

Latest Additions - Vintage Style Necklace, Hand Sewn Drop Earrings

Have been busy creating more bridal pieces. The romantic necklace above features a swarovski crystal filigree flower, offset with ivory swarovski pearls. The earrings feature 15 swarovski crystals hand sewn to form drops. For further details check out my shop.

Pink, Pink, Pink......Sponge Coral

I recently got my hands on some beautiful sponge coral and my first creation is the necklace above. Sponge coral is a natural organic substance; as it is farmed and not removed from the Coral Reef it does not cause the environmental damage associated with traditional corals. Sponge coral has a polished appearance and is available in such lovely colours as the pink above. Will be uploading to my shop soon.
