Sand In My Hand

Some of my latest creations. I'm loving the swirl bangle design and of course the heart ❤️. Heading for packaging and then onto Christchurch and Bournemouth x

A beautiful sunny day and a little down time inspired me to finish these sandgem earrings. Only a small batch but simple and eye catching.

They'll be heading to both Emporiums this week after they have been packaged nicely. ❤️🙏

It's a cold and frosty morning on the beach today 🙌🙏

Did you know the artwork for my jewellery boxes also features on Tote Bags and The Essence of Bournemouth Candles.

My Bournemouth captures both the history of Bournemouth and some of its most recent landmarks.

All items are available at the Emporiums at Christchurch and Bournemouth - although I may have to make some more jewellery!

Who enjoys the beach all year round? Whether it's sunny, rainy, warm or cold, the seaside gives us nature at its best ❤️

When I make my jewellery I try to emulate the beach and sea in its natural self. The colours for me symbolise the various personalities I see when I visit. Sometimes calm, sometimes fun, sometimes seasonal.

I had a fun trip to the beach this afternoon to take some shots of my latest creations. They are made from sand after all! ❤️

Lucky to live here

Both piers looking quite sharp against a misty and what looks like rainy skies behind.

The clarity was quite unique

The weather had been do hit and miss this week, so here is the beach in the morning when the weather was in 'hit' mode. 🙃 ❤️

  

Going down the zig zag on the East Cliff.

I don't think I ever have walked this one but im glad i did. Its the perfect setting to capture Boscombe Pier, Hengitsbury Head and the Isle of Wight.

The beach undergoing a bit of grooming 👌❤️

Just some of my favourite parts of the beach this weekend. ❤️

So I've finally been able to focus on making jewellery again. First batch done and more to make this weekend to take to and add to

Beach inspired silver plated jewellery made with sand from our beautiful Southbourne beach.

Commemorative Pendant - I was honoured to be asked to make a special keepsake in memory of Storm and Sabre.

Using their ashes, cat mummy and I mixed the colours together so they matched their eye colours. I think the purple really brings it all together and is quite mystical.

First time metalworking for me.

The sun was shining so I sat outside and made lots! A couple of commissions and new items to add to the emporium and ultimately the website.

New Candy Pink SandGem pendants with pretty starfish on rose gold plated £13.
SandGem bracelets commissioned for special birthday gifts.

Whenever I create gifts I think of my amazing mum. I never want a gift not to be perfect so I really do make them with love and care - as if each one was for her.

New SandGem pieces available. Bangles priced at £15 and Rings at £12.

These little handpoured nuggets will be on their way to my little stall today. Some old favourites and something new.

I've teamed the candy pink with Rose gold and played around with sole left over mix with some tiny beach shingle and silver flakes.

❤❤ Delighted to share these extra special commissions 🎁. Crystal beads in pink and aqua and teamed with a hand poured SandGem beautifully nestled between two diamanté rondelles. 🦋 ❤❤
