I love anything purple and this amethyst is gorgeous, I have mixed it with freshwater pearls and crystal beads. I do draw a lot of my designs as they come to me but I also just set stones I like and see what happens! This necklace was one of those ‘see what happens’ moments. Check my website for more.

Crystal wand, turquoise and crystal bracelet

I have used a crystal wand and set it in silver, it has two strands of crystal and turquoise beads with gold plated wire. I had set lots of crystal wands and odd stones I had ‘laying around’ anddecided to make them all up into necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

It was great fun but now I am back to finishing my new collection which  I should have finished a month ago!!. To buy this piece check my website.

I love the traditional colors of the holiday season–green, red, white, silver and gold. But sometimes these colors are so strongly associated with the holidays, like red and green, it seems inappropriate to use them any other time. So when the end of the year rolls around, I take full advantage of these festive color pairings to spread my brand of holiday cheer.

White bead and gold bracelet

This bracelet has white moonstone, mother of pearl and crystal beads. It has small gold filled beads hanging from each strand. After having a ‘bringing up my kids’ break in career, I am very confused with the power of celebrity in the designer/shop world. It seems strange and sad to me that if a ‘celebrity’ wears a designers clothes/jewellery/bag that you are instantly hurled into being the ‘hottest new thing’, or am I missing the point? If I started wearing what the celebs wear would I become younger, thinner and happier?
