Skeletal silver

Not exactly charms, but I was charmed by these skeletal silver leaves which I’ve made into a necklace and earrings set. The back of the silver leaves has a tarnished look if you want to turn them over for a bit of grunge! Simply connected to silver chain and silver coloured zulu hooks with large jump rings, these are the perfect ‘dress up or dress down’ jewellery pieces for summer or winter occasions.

Beady bridal business

Although I’m trying to focus my jewellery-making on high end, complex floral pieces, at the Saturday market it’s still the kids’ bracelets that sell best! I’m hoping a recent contact may lead to a retail outlet… fingers crossed.

This month I’ve added several sets or template pieces to my bridal and wedding party collection; you can see details on my BronzBeads website, and check for new listings in my Bridal.Beads online shop.

Here are a few, to give you an idea of what I’m working on:

Bridal Beads

With the gorgeous, complex floral jewellery I created for this year’s Art Trail, I’m even more determined to find brides and wedding party members who’ll love my Everlasting Bouquets.

Bridal Beads is the revised name for my online shop, as well as a new Instagram presence, and my Pinterest page now has a dedicated Bridal Beads board.

My logo’s updated, and I have heaps of fabulous floral, sweet pastel and boldly vivid beads to make with! I’d love to chat about a commission, or add to an existing jewellery set.

Spooks, bats, pumpkins, heart’s blood…

In time for 31st October, I’ve been making new Halloween jewellery – mostly charms, with a couple of chain-and-bead pieces.

Here’s a quick preview; see more on my Halloween page or go directly to bronz.beads, my online shop.

Two Tulip Types

I recently bought these cute tulip beads. They come as a kitset, which isn’t how I usually buy beads – but they were irresistable. I wasn’t sure how they’d look best, so I’ve made two versions: stem above the leaves and leaves above the stem. Which do you think looks best?

Ring a bell?

See my latest collection of earrings and a necklace in my new “Bellflowers” range. I’ve bought some most beautiful bell-shaped flower beads in several colours. Some are glass; some acrylic. My first few Bellflower earrings are on a short drop and quite shiny and delicate; latest ones are on a longer drop, with toning beads and spacers.

Flower Girls

New “Flower Girl” earrings added to my Kinder Garten page.

Ideal for junior wedding attendants, so they’re listed in my Bronz.Bridal.Beads shop; buy them online now

Fruit Salad and Licorice Allsorts!

Brand new in my “kinder garten” range for kids (and young at heart adults) are these gorgeous, eye-catching or sweetly subtle earrings and bracelets.

Check out my Facebook page for more frequent updates and look out for new listings in my online shops, too.

FREE Xmas earrings if you comment

I’ve updated this website to offer a more streamlined showcase of my various ranges and styles, as well as adding brief “about” and “contact” links.

FREE CHRISTMAS EARRINGS to the first three people (in New Zealand) to comment on my Facebook post. If you’re overseas, I’m happy to send earrings if you pay the postage via my online shop.

Cheers, Bronwyn
