This ring is 9ct yellow gold with gold beads and a mother of pearl bead. I love working in gold,although its pricey.I like to use mother of pearl with gold as it makes a nice contrast., it has a lovely smooth texture and warms on your skin.

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?
You can buy this piece from my shop here.
