This is a bit of an irregular-shaped stone for me. Whilst I do embrace a wobbly edge, I'm generally a circle n square girl. However, this lovely Opal has been in my collection for over 10 years and it's just so pretty I couldn't not use it. . Set on a wide textured and frosted band. Think I want to keep it... . . . . . #oneofakind #handmade #handmadesilver #handmadeisbest #craftfestival #craftforthesoul #craftrevolution #opal #itsagem #gemstone #wobblybits #polishedgreyjewellerydesign #makersgonnamake #creativecollective #creativerevolution
New link necklaces coming along. Mixed shapes, asymmetric, chunky in style but so light to wear. I'm not very good at doing 'dainty', but this is my take on it. All my link necklaces are unique. . Silver is such a musical material - this one jingles so beautifully as you move, more so than usual (see stories) - could it be the irregular shapes? Any clever musical folk out there can tell me what shape makes for the best tinkle? . . . . . #makingmusic #jinglealltheway #makersgonnamake #handmadeisbest #bespokejewellery #oneofakind #handmade #meetthemakers #craftfestival #justacard #contemporarycraft #polishedgreyjewellery #madebyhand #sterlingsilver

I'm a bit in love with this Blue Chalcedony - it's just so vibrant and makes me think of the sparkling Cornish sea 💙 But I can't resist the Citrine - I mean, it's a sun sparkling yellow 💛 - what's not to like! .

Lots of sparkles ready for this Sunday's @thefromeindependent and it looks like being a fine day! They have fresh flower crown making and dancing from the funky folksters, Boss Morris.

I was taking a few progress snaps of the new rings I'm working on and was a bit surprised to see just how old my hands look these days. I don't know why I was so surprised: I turned 47 this month. . Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty comfortable in my skin these days and I don't get hung up on ageing. I don't really feel that old (bit creaky in places obvs) but I don't FEEL old. I'm still trying new things - in the last year I have: tried out pink hair; had more tattoos, been swimming in the Cornish sea in my undies, rocked a jumpsuit. Not big things, sure but keeping me young? maybe. Despite the wrinkly hands! . What keeps you young? . Rings coming soon . . . . . #youngatheart #allinthemind #whatwrinkles #ageisjustanumber #dowhatmakesyouhappy #tryingsomethingnew #wip #contemporarycraft #makersgonnamake #contemporaryjewellerydesign

I've been working on some new long drop link necklaces. This one feels lovely and light to wear but is big on impact! Great with summer linens. I'll list a range of exclusives on the website soon!. .

I received a parcel of joy from @craftfestival yesterday. . If you're in the Devon area in June or you fancy a little trip, it looks set to be a wonderful show and well worth a visit: 200 makers with some of the best in contemporary craft; workshops, kids activities, demonstrations, Craft Cinema and much more. . I'm also very pleased to hear that the festival will be working hard to eliminate single use plastics, so no water in plastic bottles will be for sale: They are providing a water refill station and running a Bring a Mug campaign, offerring discounts for hot drinks. How fab is that! . . . . . #icantwait #imsoexcited #craftfestival #craftwithconscience #contemporarycraft #creativecommunity #creativecollective #creativerevolution #craftforthesoul #craftfair #devon #boveytracey #contemporaryjewellery #silverjewellerydesign #handmadeisbest #makersmovement #smallbusiness #jewellersofinstagram #designermaker #polishedgreyjewellery #madebyhand #creativehappylife
Oh, hello old friend... I've missed my workshop over the easter break. It's been grand hanging with the small folk and eating my bodyweight in chocolate but I'm raring to get making. . These circles have been patiently waiting for nearly a fortnight since I soldered, formed and drilled them. Now they need a good file and polish ready to be made into Spin and Revolve necklaces. . Not long now, my beauties, it's nearly time for your spa treatment 💅💅🏻💅🏽💅🏿 . . . . . #raringtogo #letsgetcreative #letsdothis #creativelife #workshop #workbench #jewellersworkbench #onthebench #wip #jewellerydesign #holidayisover #somuchtodo #polishedgreyjewellery #madebyhand #sterlingsilver #creativehappylife #whatimadetoday
I simply CANNOT WAIT for @craftfestival Contemporary Craft fair at Bovey Tracey in Devon this June. I'm really looking forward to meeting other makers and friends old and new. Lots of my faves will be there and I can't tell you how chuffed I am to be among them. Some talented lovelies have met in person include @theowleryprints @oliverosejewel @thecuriositycupboard @bronwengwillim @clarelloydjewellery @treefalldesign , others I have only met virtually, like the divine potter/storyteller @amandabanhamceramics who I'm excited to see there. . Who's coming? - it's going to be AWESOME! Repost from @craftfestival Go see their grid and website to meet the other makers! . . . . . #craftfestival #boveytracey #craftfair #craftforthesoul #contemporarycraft #craftevents #craftrevolution #craftersofinstagram #contemporaryjewellery #devoncraft #creativerevolution #creativecollective #creativecommunity #meetthemakers #polishedgreyjewellerydesign #polishedgreyjewellery
Happy Easter Egg Day All! . My day started with a fine breakfast of mini eggs at 6.30am while preparing for today's egg hunt. But these are all mine: a friend delivered these Hotel Chocolat on-brand delights yesterday. Now to hide them where no one else will find them.... . Normal jewellery service will resume next week mostly fuelled by these 🥚 xxx .

All the shapes going on here. . My partner has taken the kids off to family so I have a full day in the workshop tomorrow - so much to make. A few orders and lots of stock to pile up ready for @craftfestival Bovey Tracey in June and my regular monthly spot @thefromeindependent. School holidays are great, but not much of a holiday for me... . On the plus side, it's been a good drying day, so I'm a couple of loads of washing lighter - happy days! 💙 . . . . . #itsthesimplethings #simplethings #silverjeweller #silversquares #silvercircles #silvershapes #shapeandform #shapeshifting #wip #workshopgoals #workshop #happydays #happycreativelife #handmadeisbest #makersgonnamake #handmade #upcomingevents #plentytodo
This lovely set went off to a customer to complete a wedding outfit. I make all my link jewellery as one-off designs so they can easily be made to order. . She requested the matching earrings with the squares turned to hang on the points, like diamonds. .

Oh my, the sun has been out all day today- what a treat! I managed several hours of gardening (weeds are at critical mass) while the kids played outside, barefoot and finished off the day by hosing each other down (fully clothed). Oh, what a bit of sunshine does for the soul! . Here's a bit of everyday sunshine yellow on this Spin necklace. Available online. Hope the sun has been shining on you today 💛 x . . . . . #sunshinecheer #sunshinegoal #sunshineyellow #sunshinemakeseverythingbetter #iloveyellow #mellowyellow #contemporaryjewellery #contemporarycraft #polishedgreyjewellery #madebyhand #sterlingsilver #creativehappylife
Sending a gift direct to someone? Not only does all my jewellery come beautufully gift wrapped in a branded box, you can add a message at checkout in the online shop and I'll pop it on a card with a little silver heart, no extra charge - just because I love presents too! . . . . . #sharethelove #allwrappedup #giftwrapping #giftbox #ilovepresents #fortheloveofit #personaltouch #itsthelittlethings #itsawrap #handmadeisbest
Well, everything's gone topsy turvy because it's the school bloomin' holidays again... Today we have been swimming, enjoyed a craft session at our local arts centre, taken half the books out of the library, had an impromptu climbing lesson at the leisure centre and a splashy walk in the rain. I'm flippin' exhausted and it's only day two! . Anyway, here's a snap from my stall at Sunday's @thefromeindependent . My daughter was my 'assistant' for the day (role involved eating iced buns and drinking hot choc mostly). So fab to be back in the swing of the markets, catching up with traders and customers alike. Thanks to everyone who shopped, stopped or chatted! . Great to meet Helen @thecbnteam and @laurenastondesigns . Stocked up on amazing ethical clothing from Anna @lostshapes , chatted to divine Becs @dakotaraedust and Jules @julesandclem Liz @badger_house_leather and Hannah @hannahbrowninteriors among others. Can't wait for next month . . . . . #thefromeindependent #artisanmarket #marketmakers #marketvibes #shoplocal #supportthemakers #supportlocal #supportindies #supportsmallbusinesses #shopsmall #shopindependent #handmadeisbest #schoolholidays #imknackered
