Stick Pearl Cluster Earrings

20 Jan in Brides, Jewellery | Comments (0)

Sinead contacted me last year; she wanted a pair of earrings for her wedding on the 12th of January. She liked the Stick Pearl earrings I had on the site at the time, but wanted something a bit longer. Her colour scheme was pale pink and cream and we eventually decided on a cluster – ending with a stick pearl. I used the palest pink and clear Swarovski crystals and tiny seed pearls to make the cluster and finished it with pale pink stick pearls.

Bracelet section

Faceted Chalcedony Bracelet Yippee! The bracelet section is up on the site, with a bracelet that I am so proud of, it is absolutely one of my favorites.

Now I just have to get the exceptionally talented Dave to knuckle down and put some of the other new ones up.

Here’s a little taster of things to some…

A bracelet made using faceted chalcedony and Sterling Silver, apart from reminding me of boiled sweets which is always a good thing; these chalcedony stones have the most wonderful array of blues.

Chalcedony – in all shapes and colours!

I am besotted with chalcedony at the moment! I love the variations in colour – from the most vibrant blue – through to moody greens, and we are just getting the most amazingly faceted stones at the moment. I have probably bought far more than I should have – but I just can’t resist it.

One of the first strands that I bought was a glorious blue faceted square. I used them with an unusual gold filled chain and it’s made a lovely bracelet. (I am going through a bracelet phase…)

Confirmation Jewellery

Fiona ordered a Blue Crystal Cross Necklace from me as a confirmation gift for her niece. She wanted a pair of earrings to match and so together we came up with a variation of the Crystal Cluster Teardrop Earrings – I made them a bit shorter, and used a blue teardrop and blue and clear crystals as clusters.

I am always so pleased when someone goes to the trouble of mailing me some pics of my jewellery being worn and so loved getting some pics of Fiona’s lovely niece on her special day.

Fiona’s husband is a photographer (www.kon2photography.co.uk) – hence the fantastic photo’s and was kind enough to let me use them here.

Deborah contacted me in May for bridal jewellery for her wedding on the 1st September. She chose a medium champagne crystal heart on champagne ribbon and a tiny champagne heart that she wanted made up as a headpiece. I was delighted when she sent me some photos this morning! What a stunning bride!

Strands of crystal jewellery

Every once in a while I need to re-stock my supplies of Semi –Precious Stones. It’s so hard to decide, among row after row of glorious colours and glittering strands. I debate, deliberate, change my mind, agonize, touch and dream and eventually make my choices. Never with my head and always with my heart.

I hyperventilate when handing over my debit card…

I come home with pirates treasure – but I’m not nearly brave enough when I have to face up to Dave when he asks “so how much have you spent?”

For weeks afterwards, my dreams are filled with ideas and designs. I hope you like what I’ll do with my hoard!

Onyx and Silver Necklace

01 Sep in Jewellery | Comments (0)

Onyx and Silver Necklace I am not a huge fan of Onyx for the most part, I think it can look a bit like plastic when it’s very polished, but I recently came across a strand that I could not resist. Large ovals of faceted matt onyx called to me… and I bought them!

I attached them to some heavy silver rings, to lighten the look and break the onyx up and used a really substantial Sterling Silver toggle clasp. Once it was made up I could not part with it and so have kept it for myself! It looks fantastic with a white T-shirt and jeans and even though it’s quite heavy and dark, I have worn it a lot through the summer (what summer??).

Because it’s not always possible to stock the same stones on an ongoing basis I don’t always add everything I make to the Twinkleberry site, so if you are interested in a necklace like this please contact me at jenni@twinkleberry.co.uk.

Cluster Bracelet

Crystal Cluster Bracelet A client who had bought a pink lariat from me some time ago asked me to make a cluster bracelet to match.

I used a really unusual silver chain with lots of different semi-precious stones, crystals and pearls in white and shades of bright pink.

I crammed on as much as I could! I think it came out really well, it’s a substantial piece that glitters and flows as it’s worn.

Girly Bracelet

Millefiore Heart Bracelet My friend Louise is wonderful to work for. She loves jewellery, buys bits and pieces all the time , wears them and when she tires of a particular piece she sends it my way and lets me remake it as I please.

These lovely Millefiore hearts and ovals were originally strung on a tatty bit of leather thong as a necklace. I have taken them off and made a bracelet with them using a chunky Sterling Silver chain

I think she will love it. It’s light , fresh and girly and the silver chain is of a very good quality… maybe I should do something like this for a bracelet section of the site – what do you think?

Lariats and how to wear them

27 Jun in Jewellery | Comments (0)

Crystal Lariat

I love wearing Lariats, they are so versatile, drape beautifully and each one can be slightly different making it an individual piece. I am often asked for advice on how to wear them. This is what works for me:

Fold the length in half, so that the 2 end pieces are in one hand and the looped end is in the other hand.

Put the doubled strand around your neck and thread the 2 end pieces through the looped end. Adjust to the length you prefer.

It’s very similar to the way you wear a scarf.

I also recommend that you look in a mirror when putting them on or taking them off, that way you can see which way through you put the end pieces.

I wear them a lot obviously and so am in the habit of always threading them through in the same direction, which helps.

This picture is of a bespoke Lariat that I made for a client recently.
