Time flies

Well. It's been so long since I blogged that I've forgotten which font I used. I KNOW.

Not to worry. Here's a necklace to illustrate how time flies. Made with antique watch faces, silver cogs and wings.

The snow is snowing...

 An individual snowflake, or...

...your very own little pot (no bigger than my thumbnail) of snow / glitter. Let's not talk about the mess involved in getting the glitter into the pot. Let's just revel in its sparkly glory.

Hello, you cheeky golden robin, you.

Gingko biloba! And a happy new year. Two sides of the same silver-plated pendant.

These lovely earrings come in silver, too, but here's the gold-plated version. I realise they look enormous here, but they're not much longer than my thumb from tip to first joint. Or, as we say in the biz, the height of an average fairy.

A silver wishbone on a silver chain. For year-long wishes.

And I realised that just by adding a freshwater pearl, it would become...

Mistletoe! Looking greeny-gold because of the background, but still silver, I promise.

Two cherry ripe bracelets, with just a hint of sparkle.

O morning stars together

I'm in love with these twinkly stars. They're silver plated, gold plated or rainbow-tastic (hematite is the official term, I think), on either silver plated or gold plated thread. Very simple, and to my mind, much more chic than flashing Christmas tree earrings.

Speaking of earrings:

On the first day of Christmas...

Difficult to photograph, easy to wear. A little silver partridge and a juicy silver pear (matron), on a silver chain. This one's a lariat, so you can adjust the length to suit your taste and your outfit. It sort of works like this: http://www.purepearls.com/blog/2008/03/new-tahitian-pearl-lariat-necklace/, but without pearls.

On the second day of Christmas...

Two pewter turtle doves, smooching at the bottom of a silver chain. Get a room, chaps.

On the seventh day of Christmas...

I wish my true love had photographed this better, but I'm still smitten with my swan a-swimming. A little silver charm, topped with Swarovski crystals and floating from a silver-plated chain.

Just another leaf to round off autumn. This one's a maple, electroplated and coated in iridescent copper. It's not as big as it might look here - just 5cm across, and utterly, utterly gorgeous.

It's beginning to look a lot like...

I'm utterly in love with these. Each is made from a real life leaf, electroplated and finished in silver or gold plate. 

Here's a silver oak leaf and a gold rose leaf, but you might also like oak, rose, birch, maple or aspen in silver, gold or copper. Just ask!

Acorn pendants with assorted beads. One in gold, one in silver - both are little treasures. If you'd prefer them to be hanging from narrow velvet ribbon, rather than silver or gold chain, that would be lovely too.

Banana leaf pendant. OK, so that's not terribly autumnal, but a leaf is a leaf.

Yes, it's a silver dinosaur on a pumpkin. What of it?

Leafy earrings - in gold or silver.

Leaf-drop earrings. Sigh.

Spoon bracelets! Made from vintage spoon handles, cut off and filed smooth, curved (using the power of my miiind) and finished with a magnetic clasp.

Just choose the handles you'd like, and let me know what you fancy in the middle. From top to bottom here: turquoise, pearl and chrysocolla. But I have beads in pretty much any colour you might want, so let me know.
