Versatility

Very long flapper necklaces are currently the latest fashion, however they aren't very versatile as they are usually not long enough to be worn any other way. For this reason I've designed a very, very long necklace that can be worn three ways - very long, twice and three times wrapped around. I am sure there are some ways I've missed, but it's a playful, versatile design that will look great no matter how it is worn. I could even imagine it being worn as a belt on a little black dress. Fun! :-)

Choker: Jade

This started of with a mishap, as the choker began life as a bracelet, however, I got carried away with the beads and the bracelet ended up far too big. However, I loved the sequence of beads and didn't want to take it apart and remove beads so, in a stroke of genius, I turned it into a choker. The nice thing about it is that the design is very clever as it allows you to wear it as tightly or as loosely as you like. The choker is fully adjustable and the lovely pale green organza ribbon is soft against your skin.


I used gorgeous pale green vintage beads, real jade beads, beautiful Swarovski beads in two colours (Peridot and Erinite), Czech emerald faceted beads, silver bicones, some lovely lustred green seedbeads, and diamonte spacers.


The earrings are kept simple, although quite long, with a Fleur-de-Lis connector and the same beads that I used in the choker. They look stunning worn together with the necklace.


I haven't decided yet if I am going to make a bracelet to go with this set. We'll see. Watch this space.

The item is for sale. Contact me by e-mail if you are interested.

Shells and more shells, and then some

I absolutely love shells and the way they reflect the light, and the best thing is they make a lovely sound as well. The last couple of weeks I've indulged in my love of shells and produced some gorgeous designs (even if I say so myself). The colours fit right in with current fashion but the designs will work with any fashion trend the designers throw at us! :-)

All the jewellery in this post are for sale except the Blackberry Delight set and the brooch at the end. However, if you would like any of the sets or one similar to Blackberry Delight or the brooch, contact me.
