amazing jewellery made by my M U M

it's difficult when you are surrounded by awesomeness to really be aware of how amazing it is. my mum has been making jewellery for as long as I can remember and I've been 'acquiring pieces' for that long too! mum has always said that if you think of yourself as a collector it makes it easier to justify!
she makes the most incredible pieces unlike anything you'll find anywhere else and other people say the same thing, it's not just because I might be biased!
all handmade by her, beads and findings sourced overseas, semi-precious stones, cultured freshwater pearls and sterling silver. yippee xx
