My sterling silver rings, have now made it to my online Folksy shop, with a few days to spare before Christmas.
There are 4 to be had, in different sizes and textures. The rings are minimalist in design, with an asymmetrical look.
Check out the listing here.
Yup, this year I decided for every piece of jewellery I sell in the run up to Christmas, I will donate ￡1 per item sold to a local charity dear to my heart.
I already offer FREE postage in the UK, contributing to a lower price for the buyer, but I commit to also donating to charity.
If I sold all my 200+items that would mean ￡200 to charity, at a time when as a human family we need to work together to help each other navigate 2020.
In total I was able to donate £10+ Gift Aid to two charities in the UK, following the sale of 10 items in the run up to Christmas 2020.
My two online shops are on Etsy (US platform) and Folksy (UK platform). Each shop has a unique stock.

This wire wrapped turquoise bead pendant took 4 hours to complete. It is made from tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire with an intricate motif.
As with all pieces, this is a unique one. I will never be able to replicate it due to the number of wraps. Even if i attempt to make a 2nd one, it will be different.
Each piece is an individual wire art piece, influenced by the mood of the day.
This pendant is available to buy on my FOLKSY shop
These unique pendants are all handmade using the wire wrapping technique.
The centres are sea glass shards; hand painted and fired; wrapped in tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire.
The sea glass shards were hand picked from the shores of Barcelona; Spain – and are painted in the style of the famous Spanish architect Gaudi.
Antoni Gaudi was the architect who designed the Sagrada Familia temple in Barcelona; and is famed for his unique buildings which adorn the streets in Barcelona.
A 10 piece limited edition collection is available on my Folksy Shop.
This chunky pendant is made using the wire wrapped technique; using tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire. The centre of the pendant is a turquoise gems stone.
The pendant will come with a free 24 inch silver plated chain and in a handy organza bag; ready for gifting.
This item would be a perfect gift for anyone who loves unique pieces of jewellery. The boho chic style of the pendant will fit any day time or evening attire.
It could also be a delightful present to anyone who enjoys unique pieces of art; as wire wrapping is a technique that can rarely recreate the same design twice.
Would make an ideal present for anyone looking to gift it to their brides maids as part of their wedding celebration.
**A NOTE: Wire wrapping is a genre of jewelry which requires pliable wire to be shaped into each piece. As a piece progresses, the wire hardens and it will retain it’s shape, however if you try to bend it or it gets squished, it will bend. Do not place your wire wrapped jewelry in a purse or pocket. :)
***Shipping: if you wish to purchase multiple items – these can be bundled into one shipping; therefore reducing your overall cost. Do get in touch with me prior to ordering; this way i can forgo the shipping charge for multiple items. All items are shipped within 3-5 days; though fast delivery services can also be accommodated (again send me a message and will see what we can do)

Not long left until Christmas time is here for Christians across the globe. It is a time to spend with family and friends. It is a time for celebration and gifting.
For many of us, this time can be very stressful to get the “right gift”. Gifts do not have to be big. Gifts can be small and home made. Or even locally made.
These beautiful pieces are still available in my Etsy shop.
Shop will be taking a break from the 15th December, until January 2018, when it will reopen. Hopefully I will have some new pieces added to the collection.
A short holiday, is always a wonderful time to recharge.
Continue to shop local, continue to support local artists, if not through buying then through promoting your local shops though blogs; liking the artist pages. Let’s support creativity; imagination and diversity.
The following pendants are made from sediment stones; picked up from the shores of the island of Crete; in Greece.
To complete the design I have hand painted each stones using acrylic paints and for durability they have all been coated with clear varnish.

This delicate pendant was conceived from the desire of incorporating precious metals into my wire wrapping.
The silver wire is .99 pure. in total there are 6 g of silver wire incorporated in the design. The stone itself is also a semi precious stone – jade. A beautiful stone which plays in hues of light green and blue green veins.
The delicate features of the webbing would make it a perfect compliment to an evening attire; would go perfectly with that delicate “black number” that all women have in their wardrobe. Of course as the design is avant garde; boho chic – it can compliment your smart casual style too.

I am always excited when I am able to produce individual pieces from drawing to finished article.
This piece is the result of jotting down some drawings whilst having my morning Saturday coffee. It is simple and yet elegant with clan flowing design.
The hematite beads hang wrapped in the same tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire.
It hangs beautifully from a 24″ chain – is suitable for an elegant evening out or indeed part of a day time attire. Below is an opportunity for you to purchase this unique piece.

**A NOTE: Wire wrapping is a genre of jewelry which requires pliable wire to be shaped into each piece.

Do not place your wire wrapped jewelry in a purse or pocket. :) Though all silver plated pieces are made from tarnish resistant wire; it may age; as most metals do. Mild soap and water shouldn’t damage the finish, however I do recommend removing your jewelry before showering or bathing; using household cleaners, chemicals, or essential oils; doing manual jobs like gardening or washing dishes; and applying lotions. Do not use jewelry cleaners on this jewelry. Sometimes the plating can wear off with excessive use – therefore I recommend not wearing the pieces every day. Rotating your beautiful jewelry pieces creates a new look for you; and changes your mood for that day.
