My first pieces!!

Here are a few of the pieces I have created over the past few months.
 
 
Celtic Studs


These are one of my favourite pieces!  They are silver celtic square studs made from sivler clay.  It's a long process, but worth it!



Sterling silver pearl studs

 
I love pearls!  They are one of my favourite items to use.  I love the pastel colours here.  I have attached them to sterling silver earring posts.
 
 
 
Swirly star earrings
 
 
I think these are really cute, I love the star shape and the swirls just keep it interesting!
 
 
 
Vintage style heart earrings (reworked)
 
 
I love the idea of finding an item and chaging it into something else.  Giving it a new life!  These were part of a necklace but i thought they would look gorgeous as a pair of earrings.  They look really vintage!
 
 
 
Blue glass heart
 
 
This is a gorgeous glass blue swirly heart on a sterling silver necklace.  I love pastel colours and this is an ideal example.  It reminds me of waves in the sea.
 
 
 

Welcome!

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog!

My name is Louise and I make silver, pearl and beaded jewellery.  I have recently started to sell my items and thought it would be good to have a place where I can add photos of the pieces I have made for people to see and get feedback on what people like and would buy.

Silver items are made from Silver clay. These are more silver than sterling silver, they have 99.99% silver.  It is an interesting medium to work with, you have to be fast as the clay starts to become hard and you can't work with it.  It is also pretty expensive so you don't want to waste it!

I try to make items that I would wear myself.  I like silver and pastel colours as they remind me of the ocean and spring!

Hopefully you like some of the items I have here!
