Letter-stamped Necklaces

I recently fell in love with the style of these pieces! I love the pure yet raw appearence of them and how personal they can be. I've always admired letter and image stamping. It's something I've always loved to try but it's a very expensive hobby! I can promise you those plates don't come cheap so if you (like I initially felt) think these pieces are a lil over-priced, the quality of the pieces and the work put into them they are at a fairly reasonable price. That being said, of course we'd all love if they weren't quite so high but maybe we can at least appreciate how gorgeous they are! (I'll link to all the pieces below the image incase your interested in purchasing any!)

This one is my absolute favourite that I've spotted so far!

This piece is available here.

I love this piece! I love swallows and combined with the word soar just gives such a sense of freedom. It's so pretty! The same artisian has many beautiful pieces..

She's so incredibly talented =) I love her pieces! I love how versatile letter stamping is. It can be used on almost anything and look so pretty! Here are some more examples of this gorgeous art from various artisians

The last are great ideas for a present for a boyfriend or a male friend or anything. I love these items and I would definitely love to try letter stamping sometime in the future! I hope you guys like these pieces too! I am in no way affiliated with the companies above, I just wanted to share these with you =)

Endless Love Necklace

Hey ♥

This is another piece I made a few weeks back that I have been wearing lots. It's so cute and it goes with everything! I love it =)

This piece features a stunning Swarovski crystal heart attached by a silver bail and hung from a sterling silver bow charm. Assembled on a sterling silver chain. I love how dainty looking this piece is and how elegant it is! This piece is perfect for everyday wear or for dressing up =)

I called this piece Endless Love =) Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think. Hope everyone had a great weekend ♥

Freedom Necklace

I've been meaning to show you this piece for like a month now!! I absolutely love this necklace, I've been wearing it alot! The blue really stands out and brings life to this piece. I thought that the leaf and feather were very pretty and natural and created a nice flow within the piece.

This picture was taken awhile back, hence the white background. I will be sticking with the darker background for future photos! Thank you to everyone for your opinions btw! They were very helpful =)

This is one of my fav pieces, it's very me! Made with swarovski crystal bicones, blue glass bead and silver plated charms =) The blue bead is very unique as it has a slight dip in the centre. The top right and bottom left corners rise slightly higher than the rest giving the bead a sort of gentle wave effect shape, it's super pretty! You can make out what I mean in the pic above, there is a dark line in the centre (a reflection of something) which is distorted but it's actually reflecting the edge of a straight picture frame!

I called this piece 'Freedom' because the leaf, feather and ocean blue bead all remind me of nature and nature is always associated with beauty and liberty.

Also, below my cbox on the right (--->) I have added an easy link for you to view my jewellery!! Hope it comes in handy ;)

New necklace & Guardian Angel

Hey everyone!

I'm just back from my weekend away, stayed up with my boyfriend for the long weekend and we had a great weekend and some much needed catching up time together! We talk every single day and yet sometimes you just need to be together in person which is why long distance can be a lil lonely but it's worth it =) Also over the weekend I finally saw Toy Story 3!

I loved it! It was everything it was hyped up to be =) Although I thought the movie was a bit sad at times, especially for a kids movie, it certainly had that Disney charm. All the new characters - both toys and humans - were perfect additions! I don't want to spoil anything so all I will say is that I believe this is an admirable ending to a beloved childhood movie!

The piece I have to share with you today is a very simple piece but pretty all the same. This piece is simply a pair of angel wings on a chain. I just love the way they hang from it. Very casual yet elegant piece.

Also in this post I just want to share a song with you that has a very important meaning to me and seems fitting to match with the new necklace. Although this song is a few years old now I think it is a very inspiring song and a very beautiful piece. It's unlike the band's other music and they really out did themselves with this one! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! =) Unfortunately the videos showing the MV disabled embedding but if you wish to see it watch here! Or listen below~

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel

Peace, Love and Harmony

Hey

I took a lil r&r time for myself the last few days. I always try to remain positive and upbeat, particularly on my blog, but sometimes it can get a lil hard. I seem to be in need of reminding myself lately that it's okay to take a step back and feel a lil blue because it's those moments that show us everything we have to appreciate in life.

As usual, I went to visit my boyfriend last weekend! It was a blast. He'll be coming down this weekend. It will only be short visit but I'm grateful for that at least. It gets lonely and boring during the week when he's not around! =P I did of course pick up some new beads and findings during my visit so I made a few new pieces which I will hopefully get posted up soon! =)

Oh and anyone who follows me on twitter knows I got my exam results lately... and I PASSED!! YAY! =) Happy with my results and going into final year next year! *scary stuff* ha ha =D

Okay so onto what ye are really interested in! I made this bracelet last Tues, got my hands on a camera yesterday so I decided to share this with ye today! I called this piece Harmony just because I felt the pastel colours gave it a very calming ambience.

Surprisingly all the beads in this except the beautiful leaf are pieces I've had for almost or over a year now. It took getting the leaf to inspire this bracelet and I like the outcome. Recently a good few of the pieces I've made have leaves in them. I love the summer/autumn feel of the leaves and the nature motif is definitely in atm with the boho chic trends!

Close up of the Bali leaf. I love adding charms to pieces because it really gives it it's own personality. This is assembled on tiger's tail and contains a mixture of seed beads, metal beads, statement and simple glass beads and swarovski crystals. And lastly two pics of the piece on =)

What do you think of this Harmony bracelet? =)

Also I was wondering what everyone would like to see more of on my blog? Please let me know! Hope everyone is having an amazing week ♥

Royal Pearl

Exams are finally over and that means I had time to make some new pieces! YAY! =)

This piece is a two-layered bracelet made with alternating sized white faux pearls. Composed on tiger's tail and finished off with a simple lobster clasp.

I love the crown charm on this piece, I bought a few of them awhile back but haven't really used them in pieces yet and I think they are really nice =) I think it gives the piece a royal feeling, hence the name. It adds a hime element to it!

Here's a pic of it on! I promised to start taking more pics of my pieces actually on =)

Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think! Hope everyone is having a great weekend <3

Angelique Bracelet

I got all my goodies in the post over the last two weeks and I just had to make something on Friday! My camera died recently so it's been difficult to take photos when I want >.<  but this is what I came up with;

It's a two layer bracelet with off-white faux pearls, swarovski crystal bicones and rondelles. Made on tiger's tail and chain and ties with a cute lil toggle clasp. The wing is one of the (many) main new things I bought, I just thought it worked perfectly on this bracelet!

I realised I have only called my jewellery pieces by pretty much their literal description so I decided to name this one the Angelique Bracelet ~ cliched much? XP  I like this bracelet and I'd even be tempted to create it or a similar design for a giveaway at some point if ye like it.

Just a lil pick of what it looks like on. I don't really model my pieces, I know some people can do a really good job of it but I'm the behind-the-camera kinda person =P I was kinda inspired to do this piece by my Vday present (as you may know my bf and I agreed on no pressies) but he surprised me with a beautiful white rose anyway! <3 It's just a lil piece of casual elegance.

Blue Phone Charm

I've made a few phone charms before but it's rare that I do. I like making them though and of course they aren't limited to use on phones! With the lariat strap they can be attached to bags, purses, ipods, used as bookmarks..the list goes on!! It's just something nice and shiny to make a plain thing pretty =)

This phone charm was made just a few nights ago. I picked up the blue disco ball, which is the bottom bead and main focus of this piece, and just felt I had to use it in something! I've had it for ages from an old necklace I took apart (I do this alot! =P ). Most of the beads in this piece are from old jewellery I've taken apart actually. There are glass, acrylic and seed beads in this piece, even faux pearls. The charm is structured by a line of jump rings as phone charms need to be sturdy and durable. (Or at least mine do the amount of times I harshly rip it out of my pocket!)

 

I wanted to create a slight clustered feeling within the top of this piece to keep the focus on the blue disco ball.

 The simple variant shades of blue are reflected within one another and nicely tie the piece together I think. Simple yet playful.

I can't wait for my haul of findings and beads, etc. to come in the post! I've spent the day resting in bed as I'm just after recovering from a lil dose of exhaustion and dehydration and now have caught a cold on top of it and I've been non- stop doodling all day! I have SO many ideas and I think that even with the crazy amount of stuff I bought I wont be able to make them all. I really hope to start designing/making stuff that I might one day share with you guys. I'm also really keen on doing a giveaway as I said in my last post so I'm defo thinking of stuff for that too =)

Hoping you are all well!

Charm Bracelet

This is the second charm bracelet I've ever made. The first was more spread out, the charms hung individually at regular intervals and were mostly blue, so this charm bracelet was quite an adventure for me!

There really is a bit of everything in this. Everything from glass-metal-shell beads and also an imitation of an ancient Roman coin, a button and more!! I really liked working with so many colours in one piece which is a rare thing for me as I usually keep to 2-3 colours per piece.

The s-hook clasp is a nice lil detail to this piece also. It makes the bracelet that little bit easier to get on and adds a bit more character to the piece than an ordinary lobster clasp would.
