I know someone who loves to play with shapes and metals just as much as I do, maybe just a tad more. Her name is Jean, and what she creates can only be described as - stunning! I wish I could make something like what she makes, but I have no idea how she does it, to me it's magic, like something created in a deep dungeon by a wizard with a blacksmith's tools. Ok, strange analogy, but have a look at her pieces - they are prime examples of some sort of alchemy experiments that have actually gone right and created absolute gold from lesser metals.

Featured - Rachel Lucie

Rachel has a unique flair for combining gemstones, shapes and colours so as to showcase each one of them in the best light. Designs are often fairly minimal with just a few carefully selected gems, but they have an amazing impact. They are full of life and colour and will rival any high end designer piece. In fact, they are way better as each design and choice is given a careful consideration, only the best stones and metals are chosen and each piece is created by Rachel's hand right here in the UK.

Lady's Head

If you ever wondered just what sort of things you might find on the beach, this one is probably way down the list - a decapitated lady's head. Not a real head, that would be way too disturbing & I probably wouldn't be able to take a photo of it for you, never mind keeping the actual thing. I'm talking about a porcelain one. Chopped off by the pirates, nibbled by sharks, caressed by the sea until washing up with seaweed and pebbles on the shores of an island - this lady didn't seem to have much luck! But, with any luck, it will soon be converted into a pendant - a true and crazy one of a kind kinda thing that no one else is bound to have. Here are some pics of the head (you can see I've already began drilling at the top into one of the 'feathers'):
