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

Hello folks, how are you today? This part of the year is so rejuvenating, with  the greenery breaking out, lengthening daylight hours, increasing warmth and sunlight. 
I've had a hectic time at the day job, but haven't slacked of on the Caprilicious front, having promised a soutache cuff bracelet to a customer in the US of A. I've made one of these before, but the one on my books is meant for a narrow wrist and I promised to make a slightly larger one for her after the handmade fair.

It took me ages to sew all the little beads on to the cuff, but the carnelian flowers are ​so pretty ringed in little blue beads that I couldn't begrudge the work involved.

I Love Manchester

I thought I'd play the song that has become the anthem for Manchester - Don't look back in Anger by Oasis - my blood runs cold at the thought of all those kids at a concert, and now lying silent and still. RIP

This necklace belongs to one of my customers in India  - she liked the colour enhanced agate leaves I had used in one of my pieces and asked if I could remake this necklace using a few of them. It ​has taken me forever to get to this task, but now that I have a bit of free time I thought I'd make it up this week.

I restrung all the beads on beading wire and added the leaves and a pretty clasp and made the necklace in the draped 'messy' look that is all the rage these days. I hope she likes it. She loved the tourmaline necklace I made for her last week.
The rest of the week was spent taking pictures of the earrings I made earlier - it is hard work as each pair is photographed in three different ways, a collage is made of the edited and cropped photographs and only then is the photograph ready to be uploaded onto the website. I have about 100 photographs taken and edited, which have yielded about twenty collages. I will post a few on here - theres more work to be done next week, and I haven't yet described them, or loaded them onto the website!

These are just a few of the photographs I took and put together. You can imagine why I'd have trigger finger by this time, and there are quite a few to go still! As I said, I have yet to upload them onto the website and Facebook, so there's a mammoth task ahead of me. In the meantime, we go to Amsterdam for a long weekend break and I will have loads of pictures to show you next week.

Have a lovely week and I'll catch you next week, same time, same place.
Until then

The yellow necklace is really eye catching; I am sure that your client would love it. As much as I love taking pictures, I hate editing them, I really wish that we could available the services of an editing genie (ofcourse without pay) to edit pics :D

Thanks Divya, I sent her pictures and she was happy - I have one more left to make over and then to find some way of getting them to her in Bangalore, which may be the most difficult part!

     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.
