more charm bracelets earrings & matching jewellery...

thank you to everyone who has bought my jewellery over the past few weeks.
I've been busy making more charm bracelets, matching jewellery and earrings to replace the sold items.

This is a Wizard f Oz inspired Bracelet.

When I saw these cowboy boots charms I immediately thought they'd make a great present for a line dancing fan - there's also a matching bracelet.

This bracelet has lots of gardening themed charms - some of them are really cute!

A holly bracelet and matching earrings

Butterfly bracelet and matching earrings.

Blue millefiori glass hearts - bracelet and two pairs of matching earrings

All this jewellery is available from Just K Jewellery on GroovyCart http://www.justkjewellery.co.uk/

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...

I started making jewellery for myself a few years ago and soon became totally addicted. I borrowed books from the library and bought lots too.

I discovered resin after going on a silver clay workshop in 2007. Whilst I loved making the pure silver jewellery it was adding colour that interested me. I tried enamelling and might have pursued that direction if I hadn't discovered you could use coloured resin instead of enamel to achieve the effect I was looking for.

Then I bought a book about resin jewellery and as soon as it arrived I knew this was what I wanted to do. I struggled in the early days as there were virtually no supplies or moulds available in the UK. Everything was trial and error - and there were lots of errors. Luckily today both the resin and moulds are more easy to source in the UK.

Since the early days I have developed my techniques and skills. I'm constantly experimenting - "what will this look like in resin" - or making my own moulds from items I find.
