Jewellery

I make a range of contemporary costume jewellery for people like me. I love colour and love creating gorgeous pieces which show a great fusion of colour and texture. Every piece of jewellery is a one off. Although I can produce pieces very similar, I pride my designs on being totally unique. I try to include something vintage or found in every piece of jewellery, so there is no way it can be reproduced! I am happy for you to send me any sentimental or special buttons, beads or pieces of jewellery, and I will incorporate them into the design, to make the piece even more special.

Lariats

Lariats are an versatile piece of jewellery. I usually make them approximately 150cm in length. I use a mixture of vintage and new beads. Usually I create a colour way and use either gold or silver coloured beads and wire as an accent.

Wearing a lariat
There are 4 main ways of wearing your lariat. I suggest you tie long hair up to start, as the take a little practice to get the hang of.
option 1. Tie the lariat around your neck and using a simple knot. This option works well if you are wearing a long jacket or cardigan.
option 2. Wrap the lariat around your neck (not too tight) and then tie in a simple knot.
option 3. Wrap the lariat twice around your neck (not too tight) and then tie a simple knot. This effect is great with a higher neck line, when you want a fuller piece of jewellery.
option 4. fold the lariat in half, then tie it around your neck in a simple knot...simple!
option 2 and 3 tip... when you have your lariat in position twist the beads together near your neck. this will hold it place and stop the lariat sliding towards your neck and feeling tight.

Colours
I make a wide range of colours on either black or cream coloured cord

Prices
The most popular design is the 150cm, which is £17. I also make shorter more delicate lariats which are available from £12

If you have favourite or sentimental buttons or beads, they can be sent to me, I will incorperate them in the design for an extra special piece of jewellery.

Kilt Pins and Brooches

These pins and brooches are great for wearing on a cape, wrap, or jacket. I use a mixture of vintage and new buttons and beads. The pins are either gold or silver coloured. The large brooches are real statement pieces!

Prices
Kilt Pins £9-£12
Brooches £10- £20

Spiral Bracelets

These are so easy to wear, they just wrap around your wrist with no clasp. Single is an open bangle, double is when the bracelet wraps around the wrist twice, triple 3 times and so on.
The triple is the best seller, but they all look lovely.

Prices
single £4.00, double £6.50, triple £9.00 and quadrupole £11.50

Cuffs and Chokers

These are my WOW pieces, (although I don't think the photographs do them justice) I love wearing them. I back the beaded work onto fabric. Wherever possible I like to use raw silk, the contrast between the frayed raw edges and the hard buttons and beads works really well.

Chokers
I make a narrow and a wide choker. The narrow is approx. 2cm thick and the wide 4cm. They tie up at the back or the side if you prefer. I usually wear my narrow choker tied at the side, like a neck scarf. I make these to order, as I take into account your neck measurement. One size does not fit all!

Cuffs
Just like the chokers, again I prefer to make to your wrist measurement. To fasten I use 2 methods. 1. A piece of fabric attached to the cuff that is wound around a button 2. A discreet elastic loop around a button

Prices
Narrow Cuff £20, Wide cuff £25
Narrow Choker £28, Wide Choker £34

Charm Bracelets

These are really funky bracelets. The bracelets are either gold or silver coloured, then I use a variety of vintage and new beads and findings. The bracelets measure 20cm, but I can make them longer!

Prices
£11
If you have a wider wrist add extra £1.50 per 2cm
