Artisan Lampwork Beads
These beads are individually made by UK artists using a variety of processes to work molten glass, all lampwork beads are kiln annealed for durability so should last a life time if cared for properly.
Murano Glass
All Venetain beads used are genuine Murano/Venetian glass, hand made in Italy ,these beads come in a variety of shapes and often have silver/gold leaf inside.
Gemstones
The semi precious gemstones that I use are sourced from around the world & I continually search for new & different stones to add to my list.
Swarovski
I use only Swarovski crystals ,they are the finest quality & give that extra sparkle to each piece.
Sterling Silver
All sterling silver used is made with 92.5% pure silver & is stamped 925 ( with the exception of those pieces I have made myself the large earring hooks which are still sterling silver but not stamped).
I also use Karen Hill Tribe silver ,I like the unusual designed that these are available in ,this is sometimes known as fine silver & is made from 95 -99% silver .
