After long, long months......

....my new-look website is finally, almost, here! Well, it will be fully developed/filled-in in about a week or so. In the meantime, you can already order from it, register to review products, buy in UK £Sterling. & just in case you're more comfortable with Euros, US or Canadian Dollars - simply choose your currency from the drop down menu & it will show you how much it is in your currency.

Postage is only £2 per order for both international and domestic orders & I ship to all major countries in Europe, plus USA, Canada, Australia etc. Shop policies can currently be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop_policy.php?user_id=5512653

& it won't be just jewellery that I will be selling here - all my destash will be listed & all my handcrafted copper/silver findings too, so, if you're interested in making jewellery yourself, have a look - you might find something interesting!

Here's a snap of my new shop:

Crazy About Amber

After a recent sailing trip to the Baltic I have gone completely crazy for Amber! I love it - it's light, natural & the colours are great any time of the year. Brilliant yellow for Spring, any will be great for Summer & Autumn, and then for winter I like the lightest, almost clear colour for the day & the deepest, darkest Amber for the cosy evenings.
Pressed Amber also comes in so many wonderful shapes that I'm spoilt for choice & design possibilities. However, I do have a few ideas & I think that oxidized silver will look great with single Amber bead pendants. Light, medium or dark, short or long, round, briolette, square, oval or nugget - I will be spoiling you with all the delicious, tempting choices!
