I can't help it – I just love making charm bracelets! I think maybe I am a little lazy and cannot really be bothered to spend more time making necklaces. I do make them from time to time, but certainly not as often as I make bracelets.

I love to cluster together beautiful colours, sometimes in unexpected combinations as on the Garland Cluster charm bracelet shown here. This piece was one of my happy accidents which so often happen in jewellery making. I had made a couple of different pieces using the same design board and had not put the remaining beads away. When they fell together I just knew it was a match made in heaven! Pure harmony between the vibrant orange and luscious purples. Add to that the hypnotizing quality of the miracle beads – I just had to make it up there and then!

Mouthwatering!
