Back to work!

It's been a crazy few weeks.  Between my new job, new commute to another country (how glamorous does that sound??) and getting used to a new city, I knew I'd have a little less time on my hands.

I hadn't counted on a family crisis, fostering a dog the size of a small donkey (but far more gorgeous and cuddly) and then throwing myself headlong down the stairs at work!

So, at the end of the last bank holiday of the year, it's time to knuckle down.  I have recently taken delivery of a number of new components, and have dozens of ideas in my head.

Keep watching www.etsy.com/shop/roguejewels and www.facebook.com/roguejewels for literally dozens of items over the next two weeks!

New item for roguejewels memory wire beaded cuff coming soon!

August birth stone - peridot

Peridot is the birth stone for August

The stone is a citrus or olive green and generally has good clarity.  Peridot is believed to have properties that assist the body both physically and mentally, helping to heal internal issues, relieve depression and reflect back negative properties away from the wearer.

As a caveat - I have no idea of the scientific background, I adore peridot because it is my birthstone and because I am a typical redheaded magpie, loving green in all forms.

I have recently bought in some peridot gemstone beads for a custom order, but will have a few left over.  If you are looking to buy a present for someone this August, contact me to discuss a custom piece for your friend or loved one, and I'll get something made, giftwrapped and sent out generally within a couple of days!

Pearls and silver

I am still loving those pearls I bought on Friday, and have made another item to complement the earrings.  Meet the pearl and antique bronze pendant

The weather has been lovely here today, so whilst I've made a few items to show you over the next few days, I've mostly uploaded some complementary items.

I have released a full range of the silver charms in pendant form, to go with the earrings uploaded earlier this week.  My favourite has to be the angel wings; I spent ages trying different ways of displaying these wings before settling on a hand shaped wire wrapped design, see what you think here.

I've tried (yet another) new thing today, so fingers crossed it all goes well and they will be on display here soon.

In the meantime, it's bank holiday, I've finished work, excuse me whilst I open a bottle of red wine and celebrate!
