Gosh, I haven't decided on a name for this one either....love this vintage button and there's lots of interesting detail in this one..asymmetrical glass nuggets, opaque seed beads, dyed mother of pearl and ornamental brass chain by Vintaj.  A different style for me, but I really enjoyed creating this one!

Springtime Bracelet

Antique brass with a great chunky handmade hook, vintage style lucite flowers for the focal and a mix of little Czech glass and wooden beads around the wrist.  A very girly one!

Lovely ceramics on this bracelet, plus rubber O rings and glass spacers.  The creamy ceramics are shaped like little eggs and have lovely detail.    I can't decide what to call this one yet...

Lock em up ...

Quite proud of this one.  Makes me feel like putting a lovely cashmere jumper on whilst drinking hot chocolate by the fire (mmmm...pity I don't actually own ANY cashmere jumpers..... or a log fire for that matter).

Tea Garden Bracelet

The matching bracelet with a lovely filigree by Vintaj Brass Co.

Caramel Fudge Earrings

Gorgeous colours here, fudge coloured freshwater pearls and little caramel spacers with the holes drilled off -centre so they stagger from side to side (as per kidney seed beads).  The pink lustre cube has been attached to the wire wrapped section and I have used a file to etch some of the patina to give an antique copper look (just on the wire).  They are so lovely in person.  I'm very proud of these ones!

Brass feather bracelet

I can't decide what to call this one... features a brass leaf, red ceramic cube and leather cording.

Autumn mixed metals set

A combination of brass, bronze and steel chain with Vintaj toggle and mix of freshwater pearls and Czech glass.

My latest creations

Gorgeous fudge freshwater pearls with large antique brass floral caps and a dazzling Swarovski crystal to top them off!
