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.

My Blog Has Arrived, Finally....

So, I have been in business for a few years now. I have a fab online shop - www.paradisejewelleryuk.com , I have a Folsky shop - http://folksy.com/shops/ParadiseJewelleryUK and have just finished setting up my new Art Fire store - http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/ParadiseJewelleryUK .
Its been a long time coming but finally I have joined the world of blogging.

To those of you that don't know, I am a jewellery designer specialising in bridal jewellery, tiaras, combs and hair pins.

I do on occasion create other jewellery designs but have to admit that I get no greater satisfaction than to know that my jewellery designs are adorning beautiful women, all around the world and on the most important day of their life.

As well as the jewellery designs you see in my shop www.paradisejewelleryuk.com I also design and hand make bespoke creations for many brides. Maybe you have an idea in mind but can't quite find it online or on the high street, maybe the jewellery you have fallen in love with somewhere else is over your budget. With your ideas and my design skills together we will create you the perfect wedding day accessories.
