Our kits are no exception, why not use one of our lovely charm bracelet kits as a base and add to them as the years go on? We currently have a... Read More

It’s currently fashion week in New York and the Spring/Summer runways are awash with pretty flowers. Floral influences have been seen across many collections from Chanel to Sass & Bide. Floral blooms are a popular pattern choice that helps perk up winter wardrobes and chase away those winter blues. For us, the floral theme also channels that much desired retro vibe. Embroidered and embellished flowers have been used in exciting ways to accessorise outfits at designer label Chanel, and Ralph Lauren showcased gorgeous black and red floral clutch bags. Floral...

Our fimo roses beads can be great when used as centre pieces. We have used epoxy to glue the rose into the cameo mount pendant with a few Swaroski crystals to add sparkle. We have used glass pearls in red to make this piece vibrant and fun.

The earrings are steampunk inspired and the roses are glued onto a steampunk cog wheel pendant and then that is glued onto a flat back connector so that a ear wire is easy to attach. Then we glued some faceted flat backs, which we had spare, just to give that extra sparkle.

We have used a mixture of the cameo mounts to create this bright and colourful vintage style charm necklace. The pictured pendants are just pictures cut from magazines and on the centre pendant we have used clear glass cabochons glued over the top; hypo cement is best for this. We glued jump rings onto the flat backed roses using 5 minute epoxy glue, so these hang nicely of the chain. The large cameo mount in the middle has fimo and resin flowers and Swarovski glued into it also with epoxy... Read More

We love taking our dog Ruby out for long walks and in our local park recently we came across these beautiful yellow and purple flowers. Spring is such a lovely time of year for bright yellows, purples and greens, and we couldn’t resist making some jewellery with these colours. We have designed an intricate bracelet, a ring and a pair of earrings by mixing bright colours with softer green and lavender colours. Each jewellery item uses purple flower fimo beads which have little green leaves underneath them. The bracelet has... Read More

The cute charm bracelet is a quick example of how the colours of these flowers work well together in any combination, this example uses colours ideal for spring but why not try using the pink...
