Hello folks, hope the Bank Holiday weekend finds you well and out and about, having yourselves a load of fun. I am working tomorrow so that's taken a bit of the shine off of it, but equally, I'm not in the mood for a good time just now, so it's OK by me to have to work the blues away.

I've been making a necklace with a number of bezelled elements, and every evening, I sit in front of the TV after work and sew tiny beads onto a felt backing. The piece isn't ready yet and I'll probably carry on sewing well into the next couple of weeks before I have anything to show for all the effort that's going into the piece.

In the meantime, I have a little necklace that is very pretty and very versatile for you today. Kiara was made to carry a little mandala pendant that is set with abalone, turquoise, amethyst, garnets and carnelian. The amethyst beads have a matte finish and have been spaced with turquoise and electroplated ceramic square beads.

I think this one is very versatile, it can not only quite easily be worn to the office, but will easily go to dinner of an evening and bring in the compliments. The turquoise beads lift the colour quotient and echo the blues in the pendant.

That's me for today folks. I hope you have a wonderful week and I'll catch you next Friday/Saturday, same time, same place.
Until then
xx

Hello! I’m Neena Shilvock, and I’m utterly, cheerfully, incorrigibly besotted with jewellery.
What began over twelve years ago as a harmless creative escape has blossomed into a full-scale romance with beads, colour, texture, and all things fabulously statement-y. I design and handcraft quirky, characterful necklaces—the sort that refuse to whisper and much prefer to make an entrance. The passion hasn’t faded in the slightest. If anything, it’s grown legs. I even dream in beads.
Truly.
This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share new creations hot off the bead mat, the stories and inspirations behind them, the occasional styling ramble, and a generous sprinkling of wry humour. If you’re someone who delights in bold colour, craftsmanship, and a good chuckle, then you’re very much my tribe. Do say hello—it might just be the start of a rather lovely friendship.
