Magical Mauve

Beautiful deep mauve and mink coloured glass pearls and crystals were used to make this substantial set - and we liked it so much, we decided to make another set in gold, black and white...

Each piece makes a bold and beautiful statement... gorgeous!

Purple Fantasy

Something a little different for this set... a choker instead of a necklace or pendant. We decided on using a piece of soft ribbon as a tie - so much more versatile... and so pretty too!

Ocean Flower

Every now and then, we come across beads so beautiful that we hardly want to use them and just keep them in a box and look at them instead :) Of course, we wouldn't want to keep them to ourselves really, and use them to make beautiful jewellery like this set...

Check Out Those Flowers!

Another creation that "S" wants to keep for herself - and she's already been told "NO!"

Gorgeous monochromatic crystals, woven into flower patterns makes this whole set so pretty and wearable.

Off now to hide this from "S" before she tries to wear it and pretend it's hers!

 

And, here's some more we created:

Modern Millie

"S" seems to have lost her marbles... and found pearls instead! She's ordering in loads of pearls and seed beads in pink, black and white... so "L" has been slaving away trying to create some new collections with a fun, modern feel.

Welcome to the "Modern Millie" collection...

Crusade

"L" has gone MAD... making RAW bracelets with any crystals, gems, pearls and beads she can get her hands on... it's becoming quite a crusade :)

Her latest...

a gorgeous crystal bracelet with hints of gold...

With earrings to match!

Duchess

"Ooh...  wearing this I'd feel as if I should go and have tea with the Duchess" said "S". Duchess? "What Duchess?" asked "L"... but  there was no reply as "S" had the idea that the pretty mauve-y/pink and gold bracelet needed extras - like earrings and a necklace - and off she went into her own little world of jewellery design! Well, at least her ramblings gave us a name for the set...

The Duchess Set!

The Crown Gems

The Crown Crystals, and The Crown Pearls... two sets of jewellery that are just so beautiful, and show how different a piece can look in different colours.

Seeing Stars

A quick little post to show off the pretty earrings and ring called "Seeing Stars". Starlight or starfish...? You decide :)

St Petersburg & Pharoah

It's fun learning new stitches... after a quick refresher course on St Petersburg and Ladder stitches, we came up with these:

The St Petersburg - delicate and pretty with a little Art Nouveau twist:

And the little set we called "Pharoah"... just because it looked a little Egyptian, and a bit like upside-down pyramids)...

Pearl Swirls

A simple design that looks elegant and oozes class...

Hopefully, there will be more 'encased pearl' designs in the future... as always, we'll keep you posted!

Lilac Heart

Okay, so there's no actual heart shapes or designs in this bracelet... it's one of several of the same design we do but in a different colour. This one reminded me so much of the ribbon on the purple heart medal... and so I've named it with respect to that medal.

Indian Summer

This set reminded me so much of Indian jewellery, but less ornate... though still very pretty and wearable.

Yuletide...

We started a few Holiday pieces early - and "S" loves anything to do with the Yuletide season!

Evergreen:

 Merry Berry (which now has it's gold-tone clasp added):

 and a small selection of our snowflake earrings:

And Finally... "S" finished the Christmas Wreath earrings she started AGES ago!
