Bespoke Order - Another Satisfied Customer

I have recently completed a bespoke order for a bride to be.
She fell in love with a few of my tiara designs but eventually decided on Jules as a starting point. As she was having her hair down she felt the Jules Tiara was a little too high. She also wanted to add one more crystal to each of the main central strands.
After having various email conversations regarding the changes she requested I soon came up with the new tiara design. At just 2.5 cm in height I felt it just wasn't quite finished off and suggested adding some more sparkle along the length of the tiara band itself.

The finished tiara was beautiful and just what she wanted -

The were he very kind words upon receiving her tiara - 

"Just got home and opened my parcel. It's absolutely beautiful, thank you so much!! I think the crystals along the edge do make it, looks really good. It's so light too, I was a bit worried it was going to be a little uncomfortable wearing it all day, but I don't think it will be!
Thank you again, it really is lovely, and exactly how I'd hoped it would look."

I love helping brides create their perfect bridal jewellery and hair accessories and get great satisfaction to know I have played a small part in creating their dream wedding.

It is a one piece, corset dress with a flattering drop waist. The bodice is romantically embellished and embroidered with a stunning mix of Swarovski crystals, bugle beads, glass beads and sequins.

Stunning in every way.

Bespoke Jewellery Designs

Over the years I have created many bespoke jewellery pieces for individuals searching for the perfect accessories.
I have recently designed some beautiful jewellery/fascinator sets for a lovely lady that was going on a long cruise. She had some stunning outfits and wanted some jewellery and head wear to match. She gave me a brief on the style and colours she was looking for and picked elements from some of my design to incorporate.

The finished designs were beautiful and finished off her outfits to perfection -


Below are some more bespoke jewellery designs I have created

The Beatrice Collection

The Beatrice collection was created for my own wedding on March 29th 2008. I trawled the net for the perfect bridal jewellery to match my stunning wedding gown but was unsuccessful.

I chose a dress by Essence of Australia named Souffle, it was beautiful, soft flowing organza, with gorgeous pick-ups at the back and a crinkle pleated, Swarovski scattered bodice. A real princess dress.

The front of the dress was quite simple so needed a slightly more dramatic jewellery set. I wanted a necklace that dropped and picked up the crystals in the bodice. I ordered my favourite crystals and began to create my design. The finished design was absolutely beautiful. Made from 4mm & 8mm Swarovski crystal element bicone beads with five sparkling drops and a sterling silver clasp. Of course a matching bracelet and drop crystal earrings were also made.

I named this collection Beatrice and over the time have added to the collection to include matching pendants, hair combs and a shorter version of the earrings.
