This week Statement Dichroic Cocktail Rings

I'm soo excited I have had my delivery from the States this morning! Gorgeous sparkly textured glass is awaiting my cutter. So this week I have become very excited about these fabulous statement rings, I just want them all! The process is 2 firings a full fuse followed by fire polish after grinding to make sure the cabs fit the ring bezels. Enjoy! E x

Memory Jewellery and Happy Long Weekend :)

I have worked recently on quite a few memory jewellery pieces. I always feel honoured and touched that people trust me with such an important task. These are very personal pieces and designed to reflect that. Below is an example of a recent make.


So Easter is a time for fun and reflection. I'm set to do some DIY as well as making and catching up with loved ones. Have a lovely break, E x

This Week... Love Southsea Market, Texture Moulds and Torch Time.

I share a stall at Love Southsea with Vidya who kindly was as excited as me and rose to the challenge of helping me play with texture. I found some tree bark and she made me some clay tester designs to slump my glass into. I'll post the results!

Love Southsea Market is tomorrow - this is a friendly event with always a good funky selection of stalls. Looking forward to seeing some of my regulars.

This collection of blue handmade lampwork beads was part of the Above The Blue collection and has reminded me to factor in some well needed torch time on next week's to do list. Have a great weekend, Elisa :)

These oversize statement rings are using the lovely thin CBS glass. The pictures don't do the iridescent colour range justice. I am proudly wearing mine :) Have a great weekend, keep it crafty! Elisa x
