Cristy's Handmade Costume Jewellery

I started making my jewellery as a hobby about 4-5 years ago and I was self taught. I gradually learnt the basic beading stitches to make different designs over this period until I was confident enough to sell them, not to make a living but mostly to continue financing a costly hobby. When I thought the quality was up to a professional standard I wanted, it gave me more courage to attend exhibitions and craft events.

I make a wide range of different items including beaded rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces and these are my own designs that are different from the normal jewellery that is sold. I sell my items at very competitive prices, this gives everyone a chance to buy something and I hope remind them of my work.
