Beautiful Handmade Statement Necklaces and other Fabulousness from Neena Shilvock - Inspirations and Designs From the Week Gone by

Hello people, how are you all this week? September is halfway done and it will soon be autumn - just now the sun is shining and it's still warm enough to go out without a wrap. Pumpkin chai latte is apparently the drink of the season - although I imagine it's just an evocative title - bringing a waft of cinnamon, log fires, wood smoke and damp leaves to our imaginations - pumpkins actually taste of nothing - at least nothing especially nice.

I found an extremely pretty lucky charm on one of my vendors websites and thought it was too sweet to pass up and this week I put it into a simple necklace. The pendant is so busy that I felt the necklace warranted a certain degree of simplicity. Inlaid with malachite, turquoise and abalone and a number of tiny micro-pave set stones, it has protection against the evil eye at its centre and is liberally sprinkled with a sun, moon, stars, a horseshoe, Hamsa, a dove of peace, four-leaf clover, and a Kawai kitty, among others - by the law of averages, one of them should be at work at any given time and serve the wearer well.

There is now a palpable, gut wrenching need to try to inch back towards the way we were - to wear nice clothes, jewellery, go out to dinner, the theatre, anywhere where there are groups of people and have some fun, to feel alive. With this in mind, I made a pair of earrings that signify fun and nights out. They are made with antiqued silver wire and tiny faceted ruby beads with a teardrop of lapis lazuli dangling from a pair of blue studs set in silver. I made them so that the dangle can be slipped off and hung on any other pair of studs.

I would say that they looked like holly berries except they are the wrong shade of red - however, they are very pretty, though I say so myself - and I hope you'll agree.

Here's a look at the final flowers in my garden - I threw a couple of packets of seeds into the flower bed and got these poppies and Love in a Mist to cheer us up while the rest of the garden yellows and moves towards autumn. There are loads of buds, so the flowers should bloom for a while yet.

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

     I'm Neena Shilvock,  and I'm crazily addicted to jewellery.

    I've been designing and making quirky and interesting statement necklaces for over ten years and my passion hasn't cooled off one little bit - in fact it has got worse, such that I  even dream 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.
