Easter gift exchange

A lovely Facebook group I belong to often does gift exchanges and we decided to do one for Easter. This is what I received from my friend Lizzy


I really love this set - it is so delicate and the lavender amethyst is very pretty



and this is what I made to send to my friend Jo. A deep swirling mix of a rich maroon and blue jewel enamel. A bracelet, ring and earring set

one of my favourite shops

A friend of mine opened a lovely jewellery supplies shop in Telford 6 months ago. I have been lucky enough to go for a visit but between times I can feed my addiction online!

Lesley's Jewellery Box can be found here   http://www.lesleysjewellerybox.co.uk/

or if you fancy a visit here: 5 New Street, Oakengates, Telford TF2 6ER

I had lots of test pieces in all sorts of shades of green so I melted them all down and added a swirl of Apetite and some clear jewel enamel to create this smoky green colour.
The silver tone oval set is from the Pebeo range of jewellery blanks and the antique bronze is from Lesley's Jewellery Box.
I have also done a second set using Pebeo bezels but that is for an Easter surprise so pictures will have to wait until it has been received!
