A tale of six necklaces...and a pair of earrings.

Juliet

Juliet started with a treasured sterling silver ball made by a Brisbane silver artist many years ago. It was bought by a young man from the artist’s tiny studio and gifted to his beloved, now passed into my care. Treasured for many years; I have left it unpolished with the oxidised patina of time as part of its beauty.

It is suspended from a strand of faceted, quartz crystal beads with an intricately patterned silver disk and a pearl.

Fastened with a silvery-grey bow on the side.

Florence

Music notes printed on fabric, framed in brass filigree. Hand cut faceted wooden beads, amber Czech crystal beads tied with a chocolate spotted black bow. Lovely, tranquil, gorgeous.

Audrey

A long strand of smooth black glass beads are segmented by four wooden faceted beads. The focal piece is a composition of layers: a large hand carved wooden bead overlaid with a twist of chocolate dotted black ribbon, a cream cotton medallion with an amber Czech crystal bead. This necklace works as a contrast of textures: polished glass with hand cut wood and cotton string with crystal.

It is beautiful worn long: play with it! Drape it asymmetrically.

Or elegant: circling your neck twice with the brass clasp as a feature.

Margaret Rose

I love to deconstruct old jewellery, take treasured elements and create something new.

A pearl necklace has found new elegance teamed with a remnant of {cream, chocolate, latté, black & silver-grey} striped fabric, framed in brass filigree.

It is tied with a creamy ribbon with dark chocolate spots threaded through brass loops that are embellished with a tiny rose.

Sofiá

Satiny hand-carved wooden beads are threaded on a lustrous golden brown ribbon with white stitched detail. The ribbon is knotted between each bead.

My favourite element of Sofiá is the finished ends. Each end of the ribbon is rolled and hand stitched with a brass charm: Queen Nefertiti on one end and a disk with concentric circles on the other.

Tess

Five large hand-carved wooden beads are strung with tiny black beautifully-irregular glass beads. Tied with a chocolate, black and latté striped ribbon threaded through brass loops that are embellished with a tiny rose.

Marguerite Earrings

Sterling silver French ear wires with a simple Marguerite daisy – hold a triple drop of a tiny, intricate silver bead, a faceted quartz crystal bead and a pearl......... Loveliness!

Would compliment the Margaret Rose necklace or the Juliet necklace.

Or be glamorous every day with your favourite jeans, a crisp white t-shirt, perfectly applied red lipstick {à la Scarlett Johansson} and your sparkling Marguerite Earrings.
