Passing Time Pleasantly.........

From the moment I made my first pair of earrings I was hooked, my love affair with beads had begun.

I have a passion for artisan made lampwork glass beads, love the depth of colour, the mysterious swirls and intricate patterns and I’m truly awed by the skill of the glass artists.

I also love freshwater pearls and semi precious gemstones and to be able to combine all of these beads in my designs is a great delight to me.

My focus is on quality. I enjoy making each and every piece and want my buyers to feel they have a unique item that will become a cherished favourite to be worn again and again. Most of my designs are one of a kind, but no two pieces will be exactly the same.

The dictionary defines 'Beguiled' as ‘to amuse, charm or delight’, ‘to pass time pleasantly’. So that's me, 'Beguiled by the Bead'.

Jewellery Care instructions

To keep your jewellery clean I recommend polishing with a soft dry cloth (a silver cloth can be used for sterling silver items) and storing in an airtight container or bag if the jewellery is not going to be worn for a period of time (this will prevent sterling silver items from tarnishing)

Jewellery strung on beading wire, or made with natural gemstones or Freshwater Pearls should be removed before bathing, showering, swimming, playing sport or sleeping. Cleaning chemicals, chlorine and sea salt can be damaging to natural gemstones. 

Skin and hair products can react with jewellery causing it to tarnish, discolour and possibly corrode. I strongly advise applying any cosmetics and perfume before you put on your jewellery.

Whilst the glass I use in my pieces has been annealed in a kiln, it is still glass - if it is dropped or banged then the glass may break.

I do not recommend the use of an ultrasonic cleaner to clean your handmade jewellery.
