Boutique Jewellery 2

A Paris inspired necklace with a 4cm machined crystal drop, Eifell tower charm, tiny key and a gold crystal bead with chain, collected together on an antique gold art nouveau connector, hanging by what I call "dungeon chain". It's a brass textured chain that has become aged.

A total diversion - to play around with balance.

Boutique Jewellery

The latest in a collection of brooches - or pins as they are also called, using floral cameos. Some are vintage - old unused stock, and others new, with an antique look. The settings are new, made from old stampings. They can be oxidised or treated to give an aged appearance.

Two New Brooches

Some vintage fun was had in the making of these brooches. Components from old pieces of jewellery, an unused cameo from the 50's and crystal or glass beads come together to make a unique new item. The button, (which I cut the shank from) is old Norwegian. The rhinestone circular bead is from a hatpin that belonged to my grandmother.
