Hello! I specialise in delicate and dainty jewellery made from silver and top quality gemstones that I source direct from a family of artisan gemstone cutters in Jaipur, India, before bringing them back to make into jewellery in my studio overlooking Mounts Bay in beautiful Cornwall.
*ALL OF MY JEWELLERY COMES BOXED* so it's ready to give as a present to someone special - and that includes yourself!
*Not everything I make is listed here* If you've seen something at a craft fair and can't find it here, please get in touch with me directly.
Or if you'd like something a bit different, feel free to ask. I have over 2500 different gemstones so there's a lot to play with!
I run my business as environmentally friendly and ethically as I can. I use eco silver, recycled and recyclable packaging and re-use any plastics that come my way and, by going directly to the gemstone cutters, I know who is doing the work and their working conditions.

Full description
This particular shade of Chalcedony is only found in Turkey and is considered to be the most valuable and desirable shade. This stone was then carefully cut by master gemstone cutters in Jaipur, India, and then I chose it and brought it to Cornwall, where I wrapped it in Sterling Silver to make a pendant.
The blue is a wonderful translucent blue, the colour of the early morning sky that promises a beautiful day ahead. No wonder it is considered to promote feelings of calmness and mental stability.
The Ancient Greeks and Romans were particularly fond of Chalcedony, and used it a lot for signet rings. It got its name as it was imported from Turkey through the Greek port of Chalcedon, which is modern day Istanbul.
It's also known as the Speaker's Stone, as it was believed to enhance verbal dexterity - the famous Roman orator and politician Cicero was supposed to wear a blue chalcedony pendant round his neck.
