Land of Green Ginger
A celebration of the best of British Artisan glass beadmaking,
featuring the work of Isabelle Anderson, Sally Carver and Emma
Ralph, brought together in a completely unique piece. Although
so different in appearance, the beads are united by the warmest
amber, topaz and soft green hues. Twisted sterling silver tubes
are used to separate the beads, along with co-ordinating swarovski
crystals, all threaded onto a very fine silver chain, and fastened
by an adjustable toggle clasp.
Length: 17.5 - 18.5 inches.

Moon-and-Midnight
Beautifully detailed beads by Gwynedd-based glass artist Helen
Brodt-Savage, in shades of black and neutral glass. I would describe
them as "Organic with attitude"!. Subtle, but at the
same time rather glamorous. I have combined them very simply with
swarovski pearls and crystals, czech renaissance firepolish glass,
and sterling silver.
Length: 18 inches.

Can-Can!
These unique beads by Sally Carver seemed to me
to look like little pairs of high-kicking legs, they are quite extraordinary!
In subtle tones of greens, browns and a hint of blue, they are teamed
with swarovki crystals and pearls, and strung on the very finest
sterling silver chain. The length can be adjusted from 17 to 18
inches.

No Smoke Without Fire!
This necklace was so aptly named by fellow jewellery
designer Melanie Brown, it's red-hot but tempered by cooling quartz!
I've used amazing bright orange beads made by Welsh artist Ray Skene,
in combination with equally fiery swarovski crystals, and muted
smoky quartz, with a liberal sprinkling of sterling silver, and
a Hill Tribe silver toggle clasp. Fabulous with that Little Black
Dress!
Length: 18.5".

Blue Remembered Hills
Each of these stunning lampwork beads by Isabelle
Anderson is a perfect little landscape in its own right. Imagine
gazing towards the hills at dusk, and that's what you'll conjour
up in your minds' eye every time you wear this necklace. I have
combined Isabelle's unique beads with pale blue freshwater pearls,
czech pressed glass bicone beads, and two different tones of swarovski
crystals, along with sterling silver spacers and clasp.
Length: 18 inches.

Fired Earth
The unmistakeable work of Wrexham glass artist
Samantha Darnbrough, this long focal bead is richly patterned in
warm earthy-toned glass, full of intriguing detail, lending an almost
marbled effect to the piece. I have used warm coloured black banded
agate, crazy lace agate, and golden shadow swarovski crystals to
highlight the richness of Sam's bead. More detail can be seen in
the skilfully worked Hilltribe Silver spacers and toggle clasp.
Length: 18.5 inches.

The Green Cornfield
Delicate shades of green and cream in these lucious
lampwork beads by Caroline Hannon, encased in sparkling clear glass
to magnify the wonderful detail. They are a perfect match for faceted
Prehnite stones, freshwater pearls, and peridot swarovski crystals.
Bali and Hillribe silver spacers complete this stunning necklace,
which has faint reminiscences of the Edwardian era.
Length: 17 inches.

|
Smoke on the Water
Stunning focal bead handmade by North Wales glass
artist Samantha Darnbrough, which I have combined with subtle smoky
quartz chips, and opaque sea-toned chrysocolla oval stones, for
a unique, one-of-a-kind necklace. The clasp is a hand-made Hill
Tribe silver toggle. Length: 18".
|

Trapped!
A true Celtic Colaboration, the focal bead having
been made by Cornish artist Tania Grey, and the beautiful organic
earth-toned lentil beads by North Wales glassmaker Helen Brodt-Savage.
Tan's focal bead consists of swirls of green, ivory and brown glass
encased in clear, to give a magnifying effect, and lends real weight
to the necklace. The "chain" consists of mossy green czech
firepolished crystals, some tiny silver leaf jasper beads, along
with sterling and Hill Tribe silver spacers and clasp. Lenth: 18.5".

the pendant section measuring 3.5 inches.

Purple Haze Necklace!
These beads were handcrafted by Scottish based
glass artist Shannon O'Bleans, but despite them being different,
they all contain the same colours, a mix of aquas and purples. I
have combined them into a simple, conventionally shaped necklace
using czech crystals, tanzanite swarovski crystals, and gleaming
sterling silver. Length: 16 inches.

Lavender Blue

Anderson, combined with swarovski crystals and pearls, and smooth
