Sterling silver necklace with Lapis Lazuli stone, hand carved by myself.
Lapidary is a great interest of mine and whenever I can get my hands on the equipment I love to cut my own stones. It makes each piece even more unique. Lapis is one of my favourite stones, with that rich royal blue and veins of gold running through, it emanates ancient indulgence!

WINTER COLLECTION LAUNCH!!!

I am launching my Winter Collection at the Book Hive in Norwich on Friday 10th December. The evening starts at 6.30 p.m and continues until 9 p.m. Wine will be served, and as well as my Jewellery, there will be the usual array of books on sale. The Book Hive is the only independent book shop in Norwich, and has a fantastic selection of Poetry, Childrens, Cookery and more. It will be a great evening, so do come for a drink!

A sterling silver Spiral pendant made to commission with 18kt gold detail and Black Onyx beads, hanging from a silver chain.

It has been a busy spring and I have some new pieces that I will be putting up on the blog. This is a Silver pendant with 18kt Gold detail and Aquamarine faceted beads, made to commission.

Black Onyx and Oxidised Silver Bangle and Necklace. Oxidising is a chemical process that blackens silver. It creates a strong line and is really striking with the matt black beads.

This is a new necklace design I have been working on. This particular one is Sterling silver with Garnets, and it was donated to an Auction in aid of Haiti. I am told it has gone to a very good home and raised a good amount for the cause. I am working on some other pieces to make up a collection and am doing versions in Oxidised silver and Black Onyx which make a great impact as it is all black. Images will follow soon...

Introducing the Bubble Necklace...

A silver necklace to match the Bubble Earrings, this one has a Black Onyx bead on it, but I can replace this with any other stone. The 'Bubble' is approx 2cm in diameter and the chain is 18" long

The top image is a silver bangle that a friend of mine wears every day! It is Sterling silver with an 18karat gold hoop that moves along the diagonal line. The piece immediately above is a silver pendant with an Aquamarine that was commissioned for a Christening present. The stone was the birth stone of the new arrival and the idea is that this can be worn once she is older and a chain bought for a future birthday. A nice alternative to the tiny bracelets that many of us have sitting in our jewellery boxes!

This is one of the necklaces from my Coathangers collection, one of my best sellers. They make great gifts! The beads are semi precious beads, I vary them with each piece so each one is unique. The chain is 18" long, sterling silver.
