White Jade and fire opals.....

These ear-rings were given to one of my eldest son's lovely teachers, when he was at secondary school. I used a combination of white jade, fire opals, rock crystal, opalite, moonstone, Swarovski crystals and Thai Karen silver in making these earring.

Madame Butterfly.......

This is one of my favorite bracelets. After buying the geisha style lamp work beads, I actually dreamed up and then found all the different beads, to put this bracelet together. It's got a solid weight to it and I wear it lose (I don't like wearing tight things on my wrists) and it has a nice jangle as well =)

Vesuvianite and Silverblossom


I'm on a roll with the pics, although I need to take some of my more recent work. I love these blossom pendants and apart from being beautifully handmade, they are fair trade =)

Flower Jasper and butterflies........

Here's a necklace that I made using a large Flower Jasper pendant and Thai Karen silver butterflies.

Russian Amazonite.......


These lovely beads are made from Russian Amazonite and are such a lovely rich shade of green....
Amazonite is one of my favorite stones for everyday wear and I often mix it with other stones....

A gift for a teacher.....


I made this bracelet for my sons teacher at the end of the summer term as I knew that she liked jewellery =)

I made a similar one for myself a few years back using gold vermeil, which also worked really well with these yummy green stones......

Pearls glorious pearls........



These ear-rings are a really simple way to add some colour to a cloudy day. I have many different coloured ear-rings to chose from, one of the benifits of making jewellery =)

I really do love pearls and the above ones are freashwater pearls, as i never use fake pearls.
