Questions from the curious

Where do you get your supplies from?    

Wholesalers, trade shows, even eBay for difficult to find pieces, and Etsy. I have a few core suppliers, but I tend to keep my eyes open for new ones, especially if they have unique pieces. I'm also hoping to go on a buying trip to India or Sri-Lanka soon.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Simplicity Pearl Earrings    


   


These pearls were so amazing all I could do was to add them to a simple drop. They are very classic, and gorgeous to wear.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Coin Bracelet and necklace    


   

This is inspired by Gypsy jewellery, but for my version I used smaller 'coins' which are really just circles with patterned edges. I decided to make the necklace and bracelet different as I'm not a big fan of completely matching sets, I like it when they have similar detail, but not identical. In the bracelet the coins are each added to the bracelet chain with a small link, where as the necklace includes the coin on the links of the necklace itself.
