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
Black, blacker and blackest - this Spinel briolette is considered to be Zed-black, the blackest of all stones. However, as Spinel also has one of the highest refractive indexes of all stones, there is an amazing glitter to the stone - visitors to my craft stall often ask if it's navy or purple, as the light refracts through the black faceted stone.
Spinels have been desired throughout history, but were perhaps most popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries when they were the favoured stone of Royalty. Look at any portrait of people like Henry VIII or Elizabeth I and you'll see them wearing black gemstones stones: spinels. They were so desirable in the European Royal Courts that if you couldn't afford spinels, you bought diamonds instead and painted the backs black!
All my jewellery comes in a presentation box ready for gifting.
Matching earrings are also available.
