Jewellery

I have recently started making jewellery and I am totally hooked on it. I have bought a few kits to get me started and managed to make them from just written instructions which I am really pleased with. I have also recently joined a jewellery making course at a school near me anyway have a look and tell me what you think.



This was the first thing I made started off with threading a simple bracelet. I made this out of freshwater pearls and Swarovski ELEMENTS pearls.





These are the next pieces I made from out of a magazine and ordered the stuff on line.


I made these for my Mum for Mother's Day she was really pleased with them.


This is what I made in my jewellery class, I learnt how to make jump rings from scratch instead of buying them they are very fiddly. I also learnt this technique which is called chain maile which requires a lot of patience how I didn't throw it across the room is beyond me lol
