More gorgeous earrings!

No posts for over a week and two come along at once - and both with earrings! These earrings were made by Brenda last weekend. She comes along for tuition a couple of times a month and I've shown her work on here before, but these are, in my opinion, the most beautiful piece of jewellery she has made so far. The back is just as lovely as the front!

Of course, she does have an advantage as Brenda is the owner of Iced Hot Rocks, the Etsy shop that I have bought just a few gorgeous stones from, so the amethysts here are from her stock. However, coming along for tuition so frequently this year has meant that Brenda has improved her jewellery making skills and, just as importantly, her confidence in her skills amazingly. We've been working on her sawing and piercing skills over the last couple of lessons too, so I'll soon have come more of her beautiful work to show you.


There are just three dates left for private tuition until the Autumn,
 so if you've always wanted to start learning how to make your own silver jewellery, 
want to add to your jewellery making skills by learning a particular technique or 
want to make a special piece of jewellery for someone equally special, 
check the available dates here and email me quickly (info@daisychainjewellery.co.uk) 
before they all go!

Primrose Hill

It's been a while since I made a pair of earrings for the AJE earring challenge but as it was my turn to write the reveal post over on the AJE blog last Sunday I thought that it was about time I sorted myself out! It's not that I don't make earrings, it's just that most of them are from my Golden Collection so they don't fit in the challenge.

I'm really pleased with this pair of earrings. Yellow is definitely not a colour I work with much - ok, let's me honest here - it's a colour that I usually avoid! But something made me add a string of dusky yellow faceted glass beads to my shopping basket on Etsy ages ago, and seeing a friend's lovely yellow cardigan worn over a grey t-shirt encouraged me to actually use them! So here you are...


Primrose Hill - Soft primose yellow, subtle grey and silver with a delicate texture all add up to a dainty pair of earrings that quickly become your favourites to wear with jeans and a tshirt or a summer dress. Perfect for adding a lovely touch of colour. Picasso Jasper, faceted yellow glass beads and sterling silver.
