Karen Profile
Hi, I'm 36 and live in South Bedfordshire.
I've been making jewellery for about 5 years, I'm self taught, and love learning new techniques even now.In June 2007 I was lucky enough to be able to set up my own business and make jewellery my career, which is great as it fits around family life.I have a love for all things crafty and also enjoy cooking and gardening.
I've always had a fascination for jewellery,as a little girl I would always love to play with my Nan's jewellery boxes, and the precious stone jewellery was always my favourite, and as I grew up I loved finding out about all semi and precious stones.
Each individual stone/type of bead I use inspires my designs and each item is named with a name which ties in with the stones/beads that are used, which makes each piece individual and special, be it in my Precious Collection (precious metal/semi Precious stones) or my Elemental Collection (costume jewellery)
