I very rarely make necklaces, preferring to focus on earrings and the odd bracelet, but recently a buyer contacted me to ask if I would make a necklace to match the stamped copper and green pearl earrings she bought for her Mum a couple of weeks ago. Of course I said yes! She gave me pretty specific instructions for the design which was great and does make life easier. It was basically to match the design of the earrings with a copper chain. The pure copper chain I already had was a bit thick so I offered to order a finer one (most likely from the States) but in the end we decided to use some antique copper chain that I could order from a UK site (still took a week to get here though!)

I first came across Wenche's beautiful jewellery through  Lima Bead's  Design Gallery. She has a real eye for colour and bead combinations and uses her talent to produce stunning necklaces and bracelets from her home in Norway. Meet ......... Wenche Brennbakk My name is Wenche Brennbakk and I live with my two girls and my husband in a small city close to the Artic circle in the northern part of Norway. During the day I work full time as an engineer with environmental issues, but during my sparetime I love to work with my beads making jewellery, and I do it as often as I can. I have spent many late night hours creating new bracelets or necklaces, and it seems like I don't need to sleep when I do that! I really enjoy it!                        Carnelia                 ...

Meet Joelle Poulos , owner of Folksy shop  Joelleabelle . Joelle recently opened her shop selling kitsch, retro and kooky jewellery. I found those words in her keyword list and they describe her style perfectly! How would you describe the jewellery you make? I would describe my Jewellery as: 'Quirky Handmade Jewellery' You Colour My World Earrings How long have you been making jewellery? Not long at all! I started selling it to my friends little over 2 months ago. What made you start? My friend sent me a link to a site selling charms, this made me think about making some extra money selling jewellery. This then expanded to selling on my website! P.S. I Love You Necklace Have you taken any jewellery-making classes or are you self-taught? I have never taken jewellery making classes, I am completely self taught! What made you decide to make your style of jewellery rather than the more classic type? My style of jewellery is based on something I would like a...
