Much Excitement!

I’ve just done my first 2 posts for my new site – Twinkleberry Brides!

Twinkleberry-Brides

I am often told of little gems by clients who commission bridal jewellery from me and for some time now, have wanted to compile a resource of wedding suppliers. So take a little trip around Twinkleberry Brides and let me know if you know of anyone who you think might like to be featured!

Sadie was very kind, and sent me one of her beautiful wedding photo’s. I was so pleased as I just love seeing something that I have made, worn on such a special day. I was also glad because I neglected to take a photo of Sadie’s necklace once I had finished making it……..

Sadie, you were a gorgeous bride!

Have you heard about the Youtube video that has created a worldwide storm? Jill and Kevin did something different for their wedding and it’s fantastic!

I made this necklace for a client recently – it’s a version of the Baroque Teardrop Bridal Necklace, which is featured on the site in Champagne. This necklace uses the clear crystal teardrop and white pearls and I think it’s a beautiful, very classic bridal necklace. I’m proud of this range as all my pearl necklaces are strung in the traditional manner, which is by knotting between each pearl. It’s a very labour intense way of stringing, but the pearls then drape beautifully and should the strand ever break, you will not loose all your pearls.

Sadie contacted me in February about making her bridal jewellery for her wedding, which was on Saturday 06/06/2009. While I love the idea of making someones wedding jewellery, I am always a little nervous of bespoke commissions. A wedding is such a special day and everything should be perfect and exactly as you imagine it, and it’s sometimes difficult to interpret someone’s vision as a finished piece.

Sadie was a perfect client though as she knew exactly what she wanted and so, as her pieces progressed, I sent her a photo and she and I both knew quite quickly that we were on the same wavelength.

The necklace and bracelet that she wanted were ornate and quite unique. It was very exciting for me as I had never made anything quite like them and I think we were both very happy with the results.

The bracelet was a cluster of larger crystals with 5 cluster drops hanging from the body of the bracelet.

Sadie’s necklace had a body that was very similar to the bracelet, just using hundreds of smaller crystals and although we did add another feature to the necklace I thought that the body as it is pictured here was just lovely as well.

I must have taken loads of photo’s of this piece, but would you believe that I did not take one of the finished product! I think I was anxious to get it posted to her and it simply slipped my mind. I am hoping that she will let me have one of her wedding pictures to post here……..

Murano Heart Necklaces

09 Mar in Brides, Jewellery | Comments (0)

Billy and Desiree were married on Saturday. Desiree wanted necklaces for the 5 special girls from their families who were included in the ceremony in various ways. In the end, Desiree decided on 4 Murano hearts for the older girls and a little czech heart for the little one in the group. Instead of suede I used a contemporary silver chain to hang the hearts on.

Stick pearl Bracelet

I made this stick pearl cuff bracelet to match this necklace. It should fit really snugly on the wrist and this one fastened with a silver toggle clasp, but it could equally be made on stretchy elastic. I LOVE these pearls!

Stick Pearl Bridal Necklace

This necklace was made for Theresa, whose wedding was over the weekend. We decided on a Stick Pearl Necklace as the dress had a low neckline and needed a bold necklace. The Pearls were a perfect colour – iridescent white with pink tinges.

I love this as an option for wedding jewellery as it is definitely something you could use again afterwards – perfect with jeans and a white shirt!

Mother of Pearl Bracelet

17 Oct in Brides, Jewellery | Comments (0)

I made this bracelet with a strand of Mother of Pearl I bought recently – different colours to the one I used for the green necklace, but gorgeous none the less. This strand is a combination of white, cream, champagne, grey and gold – perfect for Bridal jewellery!

I’ve used one of my favorite Rose gold Toggle clasps to finish it off.

Champagne Crystal Earrings

One of my favorite crystal shapes are these rondels. Swarovski makes the most beautiful ones – intricately faceted and in the most wonderful colours. This is a pair of bridal earrings I made for Anna, who wanted them in a champagne colour on 14ct gold.
