November's Here!

November....the month of Bonfire Night, Toffee Apples, stunning colours in the trees and frosty mornings! I love this time of year!

From a gemstone point of view, we have the lovely Topaz and Citrine as this month's birthstones.  The poem above indicates that Topaz is an "amber hue" but the truth is that Topaz comes in many different colours including shades of blue and pink.

More to come on those beautiful gemstones over the coming month.  If you are a November baby, or know someone who is, and would like to commission a special piece of jewellery featuring one of these lovelies, then drop me a line via the "Contact" page.

Introducing the "Bark" Collection!

You may have spotted over the last few weeks that a new collection has arrived in the shop!

Inspired by a fallen tree I found whilst walking in the forest (again!), this collection certainly makes a statement! The bark had started peeling from the tree and it was really quite stunning ~ it was made up of lots of small layers and, as it had been raining, the bark was wet and all these layers appeared to be different colours.

I took this and created my interpretation, instead of colours I used texture......every layer is hand-cut, textured by hand and soldered together.  Each piece will be completely unique (another thing you know I love!), what more could you want!

Fabulous texture on this "Bark" Cuff!

This ring is sure to be a conversation-starter!

Perfect for everyday wear
