Featured - Jewellery

I love jewellery - I guess that's why I make it! As with other crafters/artists I really appreciate fellow beaders/jewellers work - and love buying it too. Although, this does make me feel slightly guilty but there are so many different types of jewellery out there I'm never going to be able to make it all myself. Plus, some of it requires a great deal of skill - which I don't have!

I thought I would feature a few items from my favourite jewellery sellers on Etsy. Now, when I decided to do a post on this I had an idea on who I wanted to feature but when I started going through my favourites I was reminded of so many others that I love! So this has been tough!

First up are these starburst stud earrings by LouiseHibbert. I just love these and the other things in her shop are fabulous too - her boxes and sculptures are incredible.


Next is meristem and this incredible bracelet. The use of colours and materials - the metalwork and wire wrapping - is just stunning and inspiring. The whole shop is a riot of colour - it pops!


Thirdly, this leather laser cut necklace by eninaj is just so unusual and detailed - I love the addition of the silver.


Finally, snapdragonbeads' pendants which, again, use colour so well. The beadwork is gorgeous and having seen one of these pendants in the real I can vouch how fabulous they are!


I just want to quickly mention another of my faves who I have featured on my blog before - QuercusSilver - I love the rings, and having just had my ring size measured they are officially on my Birthday list!

Gorgeous picks! You definitely have a fun sense of style.
I saw you on the etsy thread about blogging - just thought I'd drop by and show some support :)
