Typewriter Key Bracelets

 Commission for my friend Caroline over on Uniqart.
 Birthday present for a friend.
My own - first one and prototype.

Each bracelet is unique with a mix of semi-precious beads (above, from top to bottom: turquoise, rose quartz and opal), vintage and modern beads, charms, and chain and of course a single vintage typewriter key. The typewriter key is chosen at random unless specified otherwise.

You can order your own bracelet - you just need to let me know the size and what colours (or semi-precious beads) you'd prefer. I will either select a random key from my stash or if you are after a particular letter, I will try and order it for you (unless it's in my stash already); however if I have to order it, it will add two weeks to the commission as I have to order it in from the US, so keep that in mind if it's for a present and ensure enough lead time.

Each bracelet is £25 plus P+P (depending on where you are in the world) and will come gift wrapped, ready to give to someone special or just a pretty way to keep it safe from tangling up with other items in your jewellery box.

Watch out for the new Rockabilly jewellery coming soon....

A New Year, New Ideas, New Designs - Part 2 Sterling Silver and Semi Precious

I've recently been going Chalcedony-mad. I love Chalcedony. It's a lovely semi-precious stone that comes in all sorts of wonderful colours.

Below is a set I made for myself. The earrings use sea green Chalcedony faceted briolettes, wrapped with sterling silver wire. The findings are all sterling silver. They are very simple but effective. :-)


I wanted to have a matching necklace, so I used a slightly larger, onion shaped faceted Chalcedony bead, wrapped it with Sterling silver wire and hung it from two Sterling silver swirly connectors. The chain is silverplated as I didn't have a Sterling silver chain fine enough for the necklace.


Chrysocolla and Aquamarine Earrings

These were made for a friend of mine whose birthday it is today. The findings are all Sterling silver and the round beads are Chrysocolla and the briolettes are Aquamarine.



Watch this space. There will be more Sterling silver wire designs with semi-precious gems to come.
