Mix & Match

This is the first charm bracelet I made from one tude of Viking Loom beads and head pins from Crafters & Co and there was still lots left..................




................So I made this necklace and earrings to match the bracelet from the left over beads, plus a few seed beads and headpins.



Don't forget about using old fashioned necklace that you don't like anymore. When my mother-in-law gave me an old string of beads I wondered what on earth I would do with them, lol........Then I took them apart and made this floating necklace with a pendant. I will show you another idea with this bead a little later.


Two For One

When I made these two necklace from one pack of " Dress it up beads " and a few seed beads from Crafters & Co, I was rather pleassed with the outcome.






On this one I used my own sterling silver and amber pendant then finished it off with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

My First Necklace Now I'm Hooked

Hi everyone this is my first proper post and my blog is going to be my crafting spot, I just hope someone is having a little look. I really don't know much about blogging so be gentle with me! I am going to photograph my pieces of jewellery from when I started and in between I will show you my CRAFTING things.


This lariat necklace was the first thing I made and it goes with so many things. It was made from one long string of beads and just knotted together. This is when I realised it was VERY addictive lol.....




This is the charm bracelet I made to match the lariat after a few months, I will show you my first one soon.

About TIARAS & TRINKETS


Tiaras & Trinkets are my passion. I discovered the love for jewellery making a few years ago and since then I am totally hooked. Every spare moment is filled trying new ideas and creating beautiful pieces of jewellery.




I have recently found a perfect outlet for my never ending passion. Making fairytale like tiaras, each one made with love, as if it was for my own niece. These tiaras are bespoke, original and the 'icing on the cake' they are Barbara C Designs and handmade on the causeway coast.


I have also recently made a bride very happy by arranging her bouquets, flowers for the cakes, table arrangments with, handmade wierwork butterflys and surprising her with an original bracelet matching the colours of her dress perfectly.
