This is my latest creation and it is definatly not for sale.
At the weekend I collected together all my broken jewellery, bits of grandmas jewellery, buttons from my daughters first cardigan, lost earrings etc.
I have put them on this heavy chain and am really pleased with my heirloom necklace. it’s a little like scrapbooking on a chain!

Seems like I’m in a bracelet mood at the moment. i’ve spent the last few nights creating some lampwork charm bracelets in a whole range of colours.
These chunky bracelets have a lobster clasp and extender chain closure.
My person favourite is the autumn tones one. perfect for the current season with the tumbling golden leaves!
The bracelet holds a secret…… A story told in jewels and beads!
The bracelets different componants are all representative of the elements of the Nativity story. The bracelet comes boxed with a delightful poem unraveling the mysteries held within the bracelet.
They are available in three sizes. Child, adult and extra size. They are also available with a lobster clasp and extender chain for those who find the toggel clasp too fidly.
Using a glass cabochon from http://www.tanofcourse.co.uk/ and surrounding it with a leafy framework of glass beads, this is the latest work by Beadsage in his new collection of cabochon necklaces. They can be seen at http://www.beadsage.co.uk
It seems as though the men in my life miss out when it comes to my work. I make handbags, watches, earrings, necklaces etc, but aside from the odd necklace, the entire range has so far been aimed at women (or men who are extremely in touch with their feminine side).
To correct the ballance (just a little) I’ve been creating cufflinks. I am very pleased with the results. Just waiting now for more supplies to extend the range.
I was sent a handful of cabochons by a very cornish lady called Tania Grey, with a great deal of trepidation, and even more fear, I ‘had a go’………………I must have a natural affinity with bits of glass, or I was a window in a previous life, but the first two seemed to have worked - and the third one, which is either destined to either become a masterpiece or be thrown in the bin, is coming along ok. They will all be on my website as they’re finished http://www.beadsage.co.uk/
Here’s the first two……….oh, and Tan’s website is http://www.tanofcourse.co.uk/
I’ve been battling down the hatches and starting the work up to christmas and my open house etc. Last year I had several sell outs so promissed myself that I’d get my act together this year and have plenty of stock in.
This is a watch I created last night using my favourite swarovski crystal in Ab finish. I’ve teamed them up with Czech seed beads and bali daisies in an intertwining strap.
Remember that little ditty said for weddings
“something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”
This is a piece of jewellery I have created for my sister who got married at the weekend. I made it a couple of weeks ago, but kept it under wraps until the night before the wedding.
This necklace is called “something old, something new”
Both our grandma’s couldn’t be there. My gran passed away 8 years ago and my other grandma is 93 and in a home. The wedding was in sheffield so it was too far to take her. I knew Philippa would have wanted them there if they could have been so her necklace contained a clasp from my gran’s jewellery and beads and an earring that I formed into a drop from my Grandmas jewellery.
I have offered this service for sometime and have incorporated brooches into tiaras. It can be quite an emotional task!
