large heart or wild heart take your pick!

Today I finished making my Swarovski crystal heart necklaces, using the last of my hearts.
These included hearts similar to the last two days in shape but larger still!!!
I have a very limited stock of these - although I can order more if needed.

I also made a couple of these necklaces using Swarovski crystal wild hearts. aren't they stunning

All of the above hearts are hanging from silver plate snake chains and they come in 16 inch and 18 inch lengths

A necklace full of sparkle

This is still one of my favourite designs, and as it has been a while since I last made one of these I thought it was time for another to be added to my collection, even though my thumb was numb for a week afterwards - it is still worth the effort. this necklace has over 200 Swarovski crystals in it and is just absolutely stunning, even though I say so myself.

...and wouldn't you just know it - no sooner had I made this I had an order for another in totally different colours to this so another week of a numb thumb is on the cards very soon!

This necklace is now available from my Etsy shop

An old favourite makes another appearance

Over the last few years I have made several of these necklaces in a variety of colours. They are great for wearing with a summer top and equally great with a pretty floral dress or even for evening wear - If you can only take one necklace away on a summer holiday this has to be it!

Today I played with more amethyst

Here are some of the items of Amethyst and Swarovski crystal  jewellery I made this morning - I made some earrings similar to the ones shown on here which in time will end up in my Etsy shop

One of my most popular designs using January's birthstone - garnet

It is considered that the origins of birthstones - linked to the month of wearers birth, were connected to the breastplate of Aaron (Ex28 v16-20) each stone representing one the twelve tribes of Israel. Our modern day list of birthstones was compiled by 'the American National Association of Jewelers' in 1912  - it consists of the stones they most wanted to sell!!!. According to the modern list of birthstones January's birthstone is
garnet which represents strength, prosperity & health.

Swarovski offer crystals in a range of colours including garnet and this is one of my favourite designs made using garnet coloured Swarovski crystals. It has been such a popular design, I have continued making similar necklaces and earrings to these since making this set several years ago!

Stunning little black number

With the season of parties rapidly approaching it is time to hunt out your little black dress. However gorgeous your dress is, I would like to think that this necklace would steal the show. If your dress is strapless or has an open neckline this would compliment it beautifully.

It would also be perfect as wedding necklace if you have chosen to wear black or if your bridesmaids are wearing black.
It has over 100 Swarovski crystals, including three crystal hearts and is finished off with a sterling silver clasp.
This design is based on one of my original designs and I would like to thank you for respecting my copyright.

crystals and pearls

I haven't made any necklaces up in this design for quite a while, but now and again I have to re-visit this old favourite!
I have made this one with Swarovski crystal pearls and clear Swarovski crystals.

Hope you like it!

hand sewn beaded bridal necklaces

'Bead work'  'beaded lacework' however you want to describe these necklaces, I call them my football match designs because I sit in the lounge with my family while they watch a game of football and I can sew a band for these necklaces in the time it takes for the match to be played, I don't have time, normally, to attach the crystal loops, unless the game goes to extra time and a penalty shoot out, by then, though, even I'm a bundle of nerves so I can't concentrate on sewing anyway!

So after all that, here are a couple of the delicate necklaces, I currently have in stock. As with most items I make, I can of course create one for you in any colour, I just need to know the length and the colour required and for my family to want to watch a game of football on the television!

hope you like these!

Be My Valentine Gift Cards

This is a new idea that I thought I'd try out,
I have been making these Swarovski crystal heart necklaces for quite a while now and they are as popular today as they were when I first started making them, so as we are fast approaching Valentines Day I decided to make these cards to send along with the heart necklace, which is included.

These are going over to Gallery at 12  in Eccleshall
