Neon Punk Bracelet
I've been taking on many complex projects lately, so every now and then it's nice to just create something simple.

Beaded Cross Necklace
I've spent this weekend designing and making new items for the I Heart...Collection, but I haven't had time to take any photos yet. Due to some chaotic happenings over the weekend, I'm not sure how regularly I'll be posting this week.
Today's item is a gothic necklace (my favourite theme!) based around a tutorial from Ruby's Beadwork for a beaded cross pendant.

Mg (Magnesium) Set - The Metallics Collection (Part II)
The Second set in the Metallics Collection.
I love wire coiling, but this is only my second or third time using it in one of my pieces. I got the design from my favourite jewellery making magazine (Make Jewellery), however I tweaked it a bit more to my liking. I got the inspiration from the magnesium coils we used to burn in school chemistry lessons, where we would often add dyes to make it burn pretty colours. Also from sparklers at Halloween - remember trying to write your name in the air as fast as you could.
The set is just the necklace and the earrings, but together they make real statement. I've used "Vivid Green" and "Dark Purple" in the set pictured, but you can choose which two colours of copper wire you would like.
The necklace is multiple enamel coated copper wire coils (try saying that three times fast!) and faceted glass beads, which catch the light beautifully. They hang from a silver plated cable chain with a silver plated toggle clasp. It measures about 64cm/25.2in, but I can adjust it if you would like it longer or shorter - just let me know.
The earrings are wire coils spiralled around a silver wire coil, with another faceted glass bead at the bottom.
Please let me know whether you would prefer...
Low Nickel Earwires
Nickel Free Earwires
OR
Clip-on
If you are unsure whether you have a nickel allergy, I recommend choosing the Nickel Free, just to be on the safe side.
Necklace: £70.00
Earrings: £35.00
or buy the set for £88.00!

Li (Lithium) Set - The Metallics Collection (Part I)
This is the first set in my new collection - The Metallics Collection.
As Lithium is one of the lightest metals I didn't want to make this set heavy, so I used seed beads and small glass beads in some of my favourite beadwork patterns to make this stunning set. I use a random selection of delica seed beads, so every set will vary in appearance slightly. The glass beads used are half silver half AB, so they reflect many different colours in the light.
The choker features a gunmetal glass dagger focal hanging from loops on a right-angle weave "chain". Although the choker will be made to measure, I will add a small extender chain for comfort.
The earrings are 26mm in diameter, and as usual you may choose which earring style you would prefer. If you have an allergy to nickel or you're not sure, I recommend choosing the Nickel Free Earwires.
The bracelet will also be made to measure. Please include your wrist size in centimeters when you order and allow 2cm for the clasp.
The ring is made with elastic so it stretches slightly, please still include your ring size when ordering (U.K. or U.S. sizings are fine)
Necklace: £70.00
Earrings: £38.00
Bracelet: £60.00
Ring: £45.00
or buy the set for £170.00!
