New earrings

Well, I didn't quite achieve as much jewellery-making this week as I was hoping too (that's what happens when work and life get in the way!), but I did manage to make two new pieces:

Moscow: 

(which are an emerald version of my St Petersburg earrings) 

and Galle: 

Off to New York on Thursday, which is very exciting! Especially as I have a whole list of bead shops I want to check out - but for selfish reasons this time as I'm getting married in October and need to get cracking on making my jewellery. I've felt rather uninspired by the selection in my usual bead shops so I'm hoping I'll find what I'm looking for while I'm away. I'll keep you posted on how I get on! 

Busy bee

I suddenly realised that it's been ages since I last posted - things have been a little too manic lately.

I'm hoping to have a few new items up in my shop at the weekend - and I've already added another pair of my Borneo emerald dragonfly earrings.


The lovely Wife in the City awarded me a blog award the other week, which I shall have to put up, once I have a moment to really sit down and do something here!

I had some lovely supplies delivered this week, which is exciting! I'm trying to make as much jewellery as possible this week as this is my last full week in the country until late May - I'm off to New York next Thursday, then France for a month the week after. Exciting times - but so much to do before then!

New items

I've been busy making some new items for my shop this week, thanks to a delivery from the fantastic Winter Rose Designs.

My Borneo emerald dragonfly earrings are really quite striking - the colour of the emerald bicone crystals is just beautiful.

My new St Petersburg antiqued silver and rose earrings are a break from my usual style, but I think they've worked out beautifully:

Unfortunately, because these items are so new and are more expensive than my other earrings, I can't offer them as part of the giveaway. However, if you would like to purchase one of these pairs, convo me on etsy and let me know - I'll reserve the item for you and throw in free delivery. Please quote Blog offer when you contact me. Please note that this offer will expire when the competition ends.
