Sparkle and shine
Earrings are great for gifts as they often work up quickly, and for this issue, Laura Embry and Becs Dean-Skinner have each designed a pair that we think will be your perfect go-to pieces. Laura’s are super sparkly, stone-set ones that are sure to make a statement, and Becs’s little versatile stars and square stitch bezel ones will look cute with any outfit. If you’re looking for more of a show-stopper piece, then my ‘Hidden Lotus’ necklace might just be up your street. Karina Miguel joins us again with another of her fabulous multi-hole beaded bracelets, and we love how this one is designed in two stages so that you can make as much or as little as you like. If you’re looking for pretty decorations for your tree or around the house, Julie Ashford and Judith Robson have you covered. Julie has designed a gorgeous poinsettia bauble that will make your tree extra special this year, and Judith’s little bead embroidered angels are so sweet that you’ll definitely need more than one. Do you enjoy a motif that you can make into multiple pieces of jewellery? If the answer is yes, Zuzi Hake’s dragonfly project will tick all the boxes. Next up, we have Alison Tarry’s stunning clear quartz and wire necklace. It sparkles like diamonds and is a piece that is sure to dazzle. New to Bead & Jewellery is polymer clay extraordinaire Maive Ferrando. with the sweetest-looking cranberry Christmas cake inspired earrings. Last but not least, we have the wonderful Tracey Spurgin with her stone set star necklace that is a perfect day-to-night piece.
