Next colour-way in the small heart collection is green. An all-time favourite, green jewellery kind of pops among lots of different clothing options and for people with darker hair. Listing soon.

My goal this year is to release a new mini-collection of one-off pieces of jewellery every four weeks ✨
It’s a little creative push that I’m really enjoying.

Each collection will be listed on Etsy for four weeks only, before making way for the next one.

First up were the blue-banded bees. There are only a few pieces left now (thank you so much to everyone who gave them a home 🐝 💛).

Next up: Tiny Hearts ❤️
Bracelets and earrings in four colour-ways, and yes, this one is obviously my favourite.

Stay tuned. I’ll let you know when they’re live online… just over a week to go.

So I finally saw a real blue-banded bee! 🐝
OK…it was in a museum. And it wasn’t alive.
But still, it happened.
My version? Slightly bigger, slightly brighter and very much buzzing with joy

I put a small collection of work together this week. It’s available at @tartscollective now. A beautiful mix of blues and greens. They won’t help you feel cool, but they look cool.

Silver prices have more than doubled in the past year. This increase is due to rising global demand (especially from renewable energy and electronics), higher mining and refining costs and ongoing supply pressure.

Sterling silver is an important part of my work, so you may notice some price adjustments as these costs continue to rise. I’ll always do my best to keep changes minimal while continuing to make pieces that are built to last.

Thank you for supporting handmade.

I went through my collection of old beads over the weekend. And I managed to make a few new necklaces. They are on display at @tartscollective now.

Watching the blue-banded bee jewellery find new homes has been such a joy. A handful of pieces are still available in my Etsy shop.

Silver scraps. Every pair of earrings needs a tiny snip to get the length just right and over the past few months those snips have added up to quite a pile. I’ve experimented with recycling silver before without much success, but after more research (and a lot more play), I’m getting closer to turning these offcuts into something useful. With silver prices so high right now, it feels good to be learning how to waste less.

Changeover day at T’Arts yesterday ✨ My cabinet got moved, so I gave it a little refresh while cleaning. Such a lovely morning catching up with other artists and my shift flew by with people coming through the shop all day. A few pieces are still on the sale table (forgot to take a photo!).

They are here! The blue banded bees are now available in my Etsy shop. The release includes colourful necklaces, bee pendants, bee earrings and some super cute mismatched bee + flower earrings too! I am also taking some earrings to @tartscollective tomorrow when I do my shift there. Oh and if you prefer the yellow bees, I have some of them available too.
