New silver jewellery range

I've been working on a new range of silver jewellery and it's nearly ready to launch (is anything ever really ready?!).

It comprises of three collections

The be collection
The bee range is a delightful play on words and is perfect for those who like their jewellery to make them smile. A cute bee sits on a honeycomb textured front and on the reverse is your chosen word.
For example be loved, be free, be happy etc

The totem collection
I love that jewellery is personal and has a meaning to the person that wears it. With this in mind I have developed the totem collection. A totem is a symbol that you choose of your personal or spiritual identity. I currently have the following totems

Bee - symbolic of achieving the impossible
Hummingbird - symbolic of energy
Owl - symbolic of wisdom and learning
Butterfly - symbolic of transformation and change
Shell - symbolic of affinity with the sea
Flower - symbolic of growth and blossoming

The pieces can also be personalised with words, initials, dates etc

The personalised collection
I have made personalised pieces for many people and can make

pendants
earrings
cufflinks
brooches

Emma talked about the mental health benefits of getting out into the countryside and getting inspiration from nature and natural surroundings. 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.
