Wire Jewellery - organic bracelets

These bracelets were fun to design!
Trying to think of 5 different wire shapes to use for each colour (and there was only 5!) proved to be quite difficult!

The aim was to have a unique shape per colour. So pink had love hearts, blue had spiralled 'S' shapes for water and so on.

For the other colours;
Brown has wire shapes which almost resemble a bird or an owl, with the additional bone beads threaded on.
Green, the shapes I used for blue, I pointed more and turned into leaves.
Lastly purple, I tried to spiral the wire into more of a flower shape.

I have tried to make the bracelets look as organic as I can using waxed cotton cord.

Wire Jewellery - knot set

As a set, I really like this design. It almost reminds me of a flower with it's simple flowing form and elegance.

The set consists of:

A bracelet.

Matching pair of earrings.

And last, a simple necklace which isn't too garish!

Wire Jewellery - earrings

These Yin and Yang earrings were satisfying to create and colour coordinate. With a variety of bead sizes, shape and shades of colours for each pair, it became a challenge to please my creative mind!

Wire Jewellery - kilt pins

These 10 kilt pins I had great fun creating. Using nature as the theme, the beads, shapes and combinations reflect the lines and colours of wildlife.

Whether the beads are made from natural materials; such as bone or fossil sharks teeth, or inspired by the colour of honey and bee's (picture above), wildlife can be interpreted in all sorts of forms.

The kilt pins above represent the natural materials found on earth. Ceramic beads with a rustic finish, originate from the clay rich soil parts of England have. Gem stones are also a natural formation alongside wood.
