Halloween at Caprilicious Jewellery
Hello nice people, thanks for coming back today. It was Halloween last week, Diwali the week before, and Guy Fawkes day at the weekend - the fireworks were going off everywhere.
I've been in London for a few days and will be in Edinburgh for a few more. I was at exams at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists - doing the examining, I hasten to add. The College is moving to new premises near London Bridge and it was sad that we were there for the very last time. I've been going to 'the College' in Sussex Place for exams and events since 1989, and soon it will belong to the London School of Economics. It was such a familiar place and we took it for granted, a second home that we knew so well, complained about the food and met our colleagues and friends, and now, we'll have to get used to someplace else.

I wandered around Camden market the evening before, browsing the shops and people watching.

Empress

Before I went out to London, I made Empress - a long necklace with four strands of green onyx and tiny pearl beads with a beautiful bar spacer of micro pave diamante. The spacer isn't very photogenic, although I've tried to go as close as possible with a macro lens in a couple of pictures. In real life though, it is very very pretty! To help give it length I've used a black cord at the back - this one is beautifully wound, with no loose ends and will last forever. I usually do not like the idea of cord, probably because the ones I've seen are sloppily made with loose and fraying ends. When I found these, I thought they were worthy of a Caprilicious effort. A little bead cap on either side made of wire and green silver lined seed beads works well with the onyx.

I'm in Edinburgh as you read this and will be home soon. I want to tackle my Non Brexit Fish over the next two days, once I've rested up a bit. I am keen to finish it but want to take my time over the engineering of it - I don't want to create a useless article like the steering wheel mug holder in the picture.

That's me for this week, folks. Have a fabulous week and I'll catch you on friday as usual, same time, same place.
Until then

Great photos of London life - the mohawks are so freaky cool. It is interesting how London is considered as a conservative and and "out there" fashion forward city at the same time

Thanks Divya. An island nation is by nature a bit insular, however since I’ve been here in 1989, things have changed slowly. The U.K. is a funny 50 :50 split of insular and forward thinking

     I'm Neena Shilvock,  and I'm crazily addicted to jewellery. I've been designing and making quirky and interesting statement necklaces for the last eight years and my passion hasn't cooled off one little bit - in fact it has got worse, such that I'm even dreaming jewellery.
    I'd love to get to know kindred spirits like you, so drop me a line and I'll get back to you, and who knows, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. Write to me at jewellerybycaprilicious(at)gmail.com

About us

I am very proud of my body of work and what people say about it, here are some of the compliments I have received 

'Neena, the necklace has just arrived & I can't find enough of the right words to do it justice. Somehow "stunning" "gorgeous" "exquisite" don't seem to fit the bill! It's definitely a statement piece ..................'                 LJ

'Wow received my jewellery to day. Love them, so beautifully presented in a pretty green box and many thanks for gift of earrings, lovely, 
thanks :-)'         AT
 
 'Hi Neena, just been busy all week at a folk festival.....my Mme Butterfly drew lots of admiration, as did my Ice Queen and someone leaned over the counter in a store of healing and crystals and exclaimed at my beautiful lapis. I so enjoy wearing my pieces and the attention they receive. '          LB
 
 ' Neena, I can't describe how delighted I am with Scherezade - she is simply breathtaking.'  EW
