Beautiful Handmade Statement Necklaces and other Fabulousness from Neena Shilvock - Inspirations and Designs From the Week Gone by
 Hello folks, how are you today? I've had a few days off from work and it was timed perfectly to coincide with the cold snap we've had in the UK - of course, we live in the Midlands and seem to miss a lot of the worst weather. People who live in North America think we are crazy to mention cold weather as they have it much worse. However, the UK is always poorly prepared for a cold snap and we suffer as a consequence. Last week, I brought you Rainbow Radiance - and I have tried not to overtax my poor little fingers by going back to playing with bead embroidery. However, you will see as you read on that I couldn't give the tiny needles and seed beads up, entirely. It’s hard to believe, but Caprilicious Jewellery is turning 13 years old! That’s right, we’ve been creating and sharing our love for unique, handcrafted jewellery for over a decade. To celebrate this milestone, we’re offering a fabulous 20% off on all our pieces for the next two weeks. Just use the code HAPPY13TH at checkout to enjoy the discount. Now, let’s dive into two exquisite pieces that perfectly showcase the artistry and whimsy of Caprilicious Jewellery. Azure Tranquility : A Symphony in Blue First up, we have this stunning blue necklace that’s as refreshing as a dip in the Mediterranean. This piece features multiple strands of shimmering blue neon apatite beads, and tiny pearls that add a touch of elegance and sophistication. The pendant is a showstopper, with a large, faceted blue chalcedony surrounded by smaller turquoise and intricate silver from a vendor in India. It is flanked by handmade beads from Nepal in two colours - they are really beautiful, as is the clasp, set with a blue topaz. Every single element has been chosen with the utmost care and each one suits the other like a hand in a well fitting glove.
 At Least Three ways to Wear It: Try these looks 1. The Beach Goddess: Pair this necklace with a flowing white sundress and sandals for an effortlessly chic beach look. The blue beads will catch the sunlight beautifully, making you feel like a true goddess. 2. The Boho Queen: Wear it with a bohemian maxi dress and lots of bangles. The eclectic mix of colors and textures will make you the queen of any festival or garden party. 3. The Office Chic: For a more polished look, try this necklace in the neckline of a simple blouse and tailored blazer. It’s the perfect way to add a pop of color to your work attire and show off your unique style. Brooch: The Charming ‘C’ Next, we have a delightful brooch shaped like the letter ‘C’, made especially for someone I have a great deal of regard for at work. This piece is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every Caprilicious creation. The brooch is adorned with an array of blue and green beads, meticulously embroidered to create a beautiful, textured pattern. This is probably going to be my new thing for gifts this year - embroidered brooches are seemingly easy to make, but the challenge is in incorporating the pin. I work hard to get the engineering of each brooch exactly right, so the pin is in the right place and holds the brooch up perfectly. Once that is decided, I ensure that it is sewn into place invisibly as I do not trust glue alone to be long lasting, and then the backing is applied and sewn on so that the hinge is free to move. I apologise if this all sounds too technical for you. I only mention it to show how much effort and thought goes into each pin, and that it's not merely a case of spewing sequins and beads up all over a letter!  How to Wear It: 1. The Statement brooch to a silk scarf and drape it around your neck or shoulders. It’s a simple way to add a touch of elegance and personal flair to any outfit. 2. The Classic Blazer or Winter Coat: Add a bit of sparkle to your favorite blazer by pinning the brooch on the lapel. It’s an easy way to elevate your look from ordinary to extraordinary. 3. The Bag Bling: Attach the brooch to your handbag for a fun and unexpected twist. It’s a great conversation starter and a unique way to accessorize. Celebrate with Us!
