My name is Nicola, and I'm the main designer and craftsperson at JewelleryDragon.
JewelleryDragon is dedicated to creating unique pieces of quality jewellery.
In this blog, I'm aiming to share some of the secrets of JewelleryDragon, inspirations, my personal jewellery collection, and anything else I think a fellow jewellery-holic would enjoy!
As each piece has their own story, I hope you will enjoy reading this blog, and perhaps find something wonderful for that special person in your life.
I had this idea months ago, but originally for a pair of earrings. It morphed into a necklace as I wanted to add more detail to the trunk than earrings would allow.
I also wanted to add the gemstones you can see dangling from the branches. All in all I love this piece, and will be aiming a copy for myself in the near future!
When I found these beads I bought them on impulse, not quite sure what I wanted to make from them, but with the quality of carving I just couldn't resist! Because the leaf is like a vine leaf (although purple), I decided to create a vine around it. I added silver beads to the wire to add texture.
This is now a favourite piece of mine, and I have to admit I immediately made a copy just for me!
