Heart chain

By
I really had to show you this chain I bought today. I am lucky enough to work really near Hatton Garden, the jewellery district of London. It's a great place to wander around and get inspiration (and see the rather large price tags of some rather large jewels!).

I made some heart pendants last night and thought this chain would be perfect. I'll post the complete pendant soon!

They picked leaves and other natural materials and used them to make moulds and silver jewellery. It's fantastic that silver clay was featured on TV as it raises awareness of the material. The metal clay world is quite small but I haven't met Emma yet although she is also teaching at the Y ou Can Make It metal clay conference in March so I am looking forward to meeting her there. You can watch the programme here on the BBC iplayer until 6th March 2018 (but only if you're in the UK unfortun...

As part of my role for the London Jewellery School I've been writing the Business Matters column in Making Jewellery magazine for six months now.
