One of a Kind.....Hues of Midnight

The exhibition One of a Kind put together by Artlink opened on 4th October and will run until the end of the year.  I am very proud and pleased to be involved again with this exhibition again this year (this is the third time I have exhibited with them). 


This year, I choose to go with Hues of Midnight....this collection of one offs includes satin boudoir bags, hairpins and jewellery, including this statement necklace handmade with pearls, rock crystal and an offset handrilled shell flower.

Amethyst Creating a Statement......

This stunning necklace has been created using semi precious stones in amethyst, rock crystal, ametrine and sterling silver.  I love creating one of a kind pieces and this one was particularly special as I was commissioned to make a necklace for a fellow designer, Lynn Wilkins of www.wee-treasures.co.uk , who makes fabulous jewellery wraps (I wonder whether she will make herself a special one for this?).

Lynn has THE most stunning blue eyes and great bone structure, so I wanted to do something that wouldn't detract away from her features too much, I wanted her to wear the necklace, not it wear her.  Lynn wanted amethysts to feature somewhere, purple can be a strong colour, but with chunky rock crystal at the centre of the piece, married with ametrine (beautifully translucent) and delicate stunning amethyst facetted beads - the effect is stunning.

A pretty and versatile piece, that would transcend through the ages and lend itself to many an outfit! I always love the delicate blush colour of these pearls, they whisper glamour and suit most colourings.

Bespoke Onyx & Pearl Slip On Necklace

Here at Mimi Pearl - I have been busy creating bespoke pieces, including wedding jewellery, thank you gifts and just general old - go on...treat yourselves! (see one such creation above).
In addition to that, that dreaded C word...yes Christmas - dare it say it - is closer than you think and I have been preparing for stalls and events. I always look forward to these events as not only do I get to meet so many nice people, I get to have sneaky shop myself. Handcrafted gifts are always far nicer than those mass produced, and it is great to support other small business and designers. See bottom of blog for where you can meet me......

Take one sunny weekend, one camper van, several of the people you love, Bob Marley CD's, fresh pineapple, barefoot frisbee, hammocks for chilling, canoes for entertainment, Bella Bathurst's SPECIAL, cold beer and pizza, a couple of hitchhikers from NZ...... head up the road to Grandtully nr Aberfeldy and VOILA!!!! near perfection!

Whilst I was there I made this stunning One of A Kind Necklace using mountain jade, pearls and vintage crystal for a forthcoming Charity Event Mimi Pearl is supporting, more details to follow..

Smoking!

Smokey Quartz and Freshwater Pearl One Off Necklace
Being the good friend I am, I have made this stunning two strand chunky necklace for a very very good friend for Christmas (sssshhhh....it's a secret...).
This piece is truly versatile, the smokey quartz nuggets are cracked and vary in shades from cocoa to almost clear. I hope she likes it........

Commissioned Piece...

I have just completed this stunning three strand necklace, featuring natural freshwater pearls and swarovski crystals as a commissioned piece. This necklace was based on a vintage crystal one that belongs to me, previously handcrafted by myself a couple of years back.
