Based in rural Wiltshire, though originally from Scotland, I gave up on the 9 to 5 in summer 2008, and found myself making jewellery with ancient beads bought from friends who deal in Antiquities.  I managed (against my own expectations I might add!) to set up my own internet shop.  This became somewhat of a passion, so I found myself branching into semi precious gemstones in the hope that there would be more of a market for these than there is for the Antiquities pieces, and so feed my need to make new things.  My new found (and valued) freedom gives me time to indulge in a my other passions - my horse and my dogs! My long suffering husband kindly indulges what he probably thinks is a passing whim, and has even accompanied me to my first fairs this weekend.

Our ancient bead range is made with beads from antiquity, supplied and researched by www.heliosgallery.com , giving complete confidence in their authenticity.  Each piece is hand made with quality vermeil gold fittings, and is completely  wearable.

Also available are modern individual pieces made from semi precious stones, sterling silver and vermeil gold.  Most of the semi precious beads I use come from two excellent suppliers - www.precioussparklebeads.co.uk, and www.semipreciousbeads.co.uk   Both supply really lovely gemstones and fast, friendly and efficient service.
