I just love the combination of green and blue and I think it works perfectly with these pearl earrings. I’ve made them on 14ct gold which adds a rich dimension to the equation.
Silver Disc Cluster Necklace

I found these lovely little glass hearts, no, they aren’t Murano Hearts, but they are so pretty. They are dinky, only 16mm long and I couldn’t resist them………..
I’ve put them on a silver chain and clustered some swarovski crystals above the heart. they are available in this brown, cranberry, aqua blue, pale green and pale pink and ruby red.

Sunshine!

I am so enjoying these last couple of days of sunshine, why is it that the blue sky and warmth of the sun makes such a difference? I know that I feel so much more positive and energetic when it’s clear and sunny. Living in the U.K. makes you appreciate these glorious days.
I couldn’t resist these photo’s this morning – the view from Brush Cottage.

Flowers For Rosy

These flowers are for my very lovely sister Rosy. Rosy lives in Australia where Donna Hay is a household name. As a food editor and cookbook author she has inspired us both
Although her cookbooks are readily available here in the U.K. she also produces a fantastic bi-monthly magazine, which is not easy to find. Only excellent bookshops have it – and I found my very first one at Selfridges.
Well, my lovely Rosy has just given me a second years subscription to the magazine for my birthday! Thank you Rose, I absolutely LOVE receiving my copy!
Berry Cluster Necklace

Cluster Necklaces
17 Sep in Jewellery | Comments (2)
I love Cluster Necklaces. I think it’s because I can put lots of components and colours together and not have to choose just one!
They are very popular at the moment and I really enjoy it when someone comes to me and asks for colour combination’s that I would not normally choose. The results are always exciting.
This particular one is a definate favorite – the rich brown of smoky quartz combined with olive green and blue – you just can’t go wrong.
Red Murano Heart Necklace
16 Sep in Jewellery | Comments (0)I used to have a lovely Brown Murano Heart Necklace on the site – which was perfect for winter wear, but sadly the heart was discontinued and I have struggled to find a replacement for it ever since.
Well, I think I have it – tell me what you think? This postbox red is such a sumptuous colour and would be perfect for valentines day, Christmas and whatever comes in between!

Rose Quartz Necklace
15 Sep in Jewellery, Links | Comments (0)
I found these lovely Rose quartz rectangles some time ago and couldn’t resist them – Why? I don’t know as I am not very fond of Rose Quartz. It’s a very tricky colour to wear unless you are tanned or naturally dark skinned or you have the famed English Rose complexion – I don’t fit in to any of the above categories!
I think I liked these as they are an unusual shape and are so nicely polished, they are absolutely perfectly smooth. Anyway, they have been lurking in my stash of stones and when I came across this chain I just knew they would be perfect.
I am loving incorporating stones and other components into chains at the moment – perhaps you noticed this…….? I think this necklace came out wonderfully and I am re-thinking my opinion on Rose Quartz!
