Half Term Jewellery Making

This is me with my niece Chloe earlier today

after having a lot of fun making some jewellery together.

We both made bracelets using a simple technique

called the ladder (or quadrant) weave.

Chloe's first one was made from 

Amazonite nuggets.

... and her next one was a mixture of

Rose Quartz and Amethyst nuggets

Both are really lovely and the heart clasp on the

second one is a gorgeous finishing touch.

My first one was made from multi-coloured

Crackled Quartz nuggets - rather fun and funky

but I'm not sure it's something I'll actually wear.

... and the second one was a mixture of

Beryl and Clear Crackled Quartz

(not forgetting the matching earrings - or

'ear-rocks' as we called them!)

Much more wearable than the other one I think.

Thanks for looking :)
