Wedding Jewellery

Ok, so you may have noticed I haven't been blogging much recently... but here is why. I have been preparing for a pretty big commision. I was asked to make jewellery for a ladies wedding, she has been great to work with, which has made it easy for me as It's my first wedding commision. I have loved every moment of it, and I have leant so much and really want to continue making bridal jewellery.
SO here is a LOAD of pictures of the Brides jewellery:

Beauté Necklace 

This necklace is made with Sterling Silver, Natural AA Grade White Fresh Water Pearls, Swarovski Clear Crystals, Grade AAA Quartz. This necklace sits delicately around the collar bone with a 18" drop down the back (perfect for a backless wedding dress) ending in the beautifully faceted Grade AAA Quartz Briolette.

 Beauté Earring

Like the necklace these earrings are made with Sterling Silver, Natural AA Grade White Fresh Water Pearls, Swarovski Clear Crystals, Grade AAA Quartz.

 

Beauté Bracelet

This bracelet is made with Natural AA Grade White Fresh Water Pearls, Swarovski Clear Crystals. This bracelet is made up of 3 seperate strands of crystals and pearls that have been entwined together finished off with a simple smart sterling silver toggle clasp.

Then here I have sent her a choice of hair vines and pins for her to try out when she has her hair appointment rehersal. All hair vines are made with Natural AA Grade White Fresh Water Pearls, Swarovski Clear Crystals.

Snow Day

 

Happy 2010 everyone!

I'm having a brand new start, 4 days a week at the restaurant and 3 days at home making beads jewellery and what ever else comes up :-) I have had such a lovely xmas/new years with family and friends and am ready for life to start getting back to normal!

Well... as normal as can be expected with 8inches of snow on the ground and a constant flow to snow falling on top of it. It looks very beautiful but it is becoming very disruptive. I am going to take a walk in a bit with my camera and see if I can get any artistic shots :-) Wish me luck! :-)
