Pearls and more pearls ....

Diamonds may be a girls best friend but pearls are her soul ...

 If you haven't guessed it by now - pearls are my favourite material to work with.  There is something about the lustre, feel and look of a pearl that generates so many ideas and thoughts on how I can work them into a design.

I'm really excited about  my current design - I can't share a picture just yet - as the project is for the next edition of Digital Bead Magazine however I can give you a teaser on the materials being used.  I'm using a mixture of old and new with this design, incorporating some techniques I have showcased previously but adding a modern twist to a classic design.

Wedding Collection - Part 2

Last week I featured a recent commission for three bridesmaid cuffs.  I thought I would share with you the brides cuff as well as the earrings I made to compliment the ensemble.

The bride is wearing a comb/headpiece in her hair with oval shapped diamontees and pearls, so I sourced out some vintage montees complimented with Swarovski pearls to loom as the central point of the brides cuff. 

The earrings I designed for the bridesmaid is an Ellad2 design. 

The wedding is later this month, so I look forward to sharing pictures with you of the wedding party wearing my designs.
