Here’s is one of my latest designs,complete with new description .

The Freya Necklace

Freya is the Goddess of Love,Rose quartz,the love stone,of love in marriage and  of the heart.

The Freya Necklace is  handmade using Natural Coloured Freshwater Pearls, and a  Rose Quartz Hand-carved Flower, these have been individually  hand-selected and hand-wrapped onto Sterling Silver Trace Chain,the ends of the chain have been finished with 2 Rose Quartz teardrop Beads. The Natural Freshwater Pearls have been individually hand-wrapped into one of the lengths of Chain,the other has been left plain.

The Freya Necklace measures 32.5cm in total and is finished with a carabiner clasp, all metal components are Sterling Silver.

Although I’m incredibly happy with the whole look of my website and shop, one thing I’ve not been completely happy about was the descriptions.

So, between keeping my two little Imp’s amused (it’s the Summer Hol’s) and creating new designs, I’ve been re-jigging my descriptions  and have ‘Named’ all my designs.

The names I’ve come up with are themed for each of the Collections .

The Precious Collection are all names with meanings that correspond to the meanings of the Gemstones used.

The Elemental Collection are all names to do with feelings and emotions.The Childrens jewellery have simple names.

The description’s will be simpler but more detailed,at the moment,in my opinion they are long-winded.

The new designs I’ve created will be completed and named,and hopefully the website and shop descriptions will be changed for the weekend.

I’ve been busy over the past few days trying out some of the design ideas I’ve been having.Sometimes simple designs stand out more than the intricate ones.

I’m very pleased with this and will be making more in the same style,I’ve been frantically ordering small gemstone rounds

I’ve used 18/18 trace,18/18 curb and plain 3 oval belcher,2mm turquoise rounds and hill tribe silver small twisted jump rings.

I’ve also made a bracelet but without the knot.
