All of my jewellery is designed and handcrafted using beautiful handmade lampwork glass beads and silver findings from around the world.
The lampwork glass beads used in each design are made by myself or by glass artists from America and the UK. Glass rods are melted over a flame and the glass is then wound around steel mandrels to produce these beautiful beads. The beads are then placed in a kiln where they are annealed to ensure their strength and durability. Each set of beads is unique so most jewellery designs can not be repeated.
All findings are sterling silver and the silver beads and charms used in my jewellery are bought direct from the Karen Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand. These beads are handcrafted and are made using silver which is between 95 - 99% pure. A fair trade policy ensures the silversmiths of the Karen hill Tribes receive a fair price for their work and helps to preserve the culture and livelihood of these talented people.
My lampwork bead sets and a selection of Karen Hill Tribe silver beads are available in my shop.
