iolite and pearl ring
This ring was made for my wedding range but I think it could be worn everyday. It is made from silver wire and has clusters of freshwater pearl and delicious iolite chip beads. Iolite is just to die for ! it is such a beautiful stone and I think amongst my many favorites it is in my top five. You can check more of my jewelry on my web store.

Love Hurts Necklace
Another piece from my ‘Love Hurts’ range, lots of handcut brass hearts with black, blue and purple pearls, black peacock pearls, labradorite, hematite and iolte and faceted black onyx beads.
Why have I called the range ‘Love Hurts’ maybe because there is lots of dark coloured beads and pointy hearts, showing the darker side of love or maybe because it just sounded good!

More delicious iolite from me, this ring is made from silver wire and has a black onyx and iolite stones. It is from my new winter collection which is full of strong colours, black labradorite, garnet, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, black onyx and iolite. The inspiration is from my younger years as a hippie/punk when anything went, lepaord skin and red feathers, purple flowers and red jeans, lots of outrageous jewellery and as much as you could possible wear! Have a look at my website for more.
