Upcycled Vintage Jewellery. A cuff to rival all others

WOW as you know i love bling & vintage goodies.
My new creations are just getting bigger and better all the time and this baby really steals the bling crown!
Its set on a adjustable cuff base, it really can be squeezed and opened with pressure and nothing will drop off (unlike many items out there on the high street!). Its a cluster of all things shiny so magpies watch out! Vintage earrings, brooches, necklaces etc all make this cuff so special. It is £120 so my most expensive piece but Oh. SO.Pretty!!

Hi all!!

Gosh totally neglected the blog! Im soooo sorry!!
Its kinda crazy ATM at Vintage Gems HQ. With all my uni coursework, keeping the page running, making xmas stock for the Manchester Christmas Markets & of course looking after my house & my boo i dont have time for ANYTHING!!

Ive been working with a lovely chap called Dave who is going to be building me a website after Christmas, i wasnt that impressed with my last one & wanna go really professional so Dave is gonna help :-)

Talking of Christmas im getting OBSESSED!! Just 5 weeks to go till the EXCLUSIVE Manchester Christmas Markets.. Im soooooo nervous!! Its going to be really hard work, but hopefully worth it!! You will notice if you are attending that my stock is themed.... I just thought it would be easier to display, but dont worry you can still pick up a vintage find at a bargain price!! I am going to make Christmas Shopping VERY easy for you!!

I have also made a special piece, which is going to be the most expensive piece on display, but also the most amazing!!!

Hope to see you all there!!

And i said what about Breakfast at Tiffanys??

OMG my new retro range is WELL under way!!! Im LOVING this Audrey Hepburn handmade earrings arent you??

They took awhile to make as i kept messing about with the design.. THESE deserve perfection dont you think?? Anyway these are availablt to buy on my facebook page Vintage Gems~Inspired By The Past... At just £12 plus postage.. what are you waiting for???!!

Rocking Retro Rules!!!

Ok so everyone knows i LOVE vintage treats & treasures!! Im currently in love with all things 50's!! Im hunting down 50's things like a woman POSESSED!!

It basically started last week after watching the amazing Grace Kelly in the equally amazing Alfred Hitchcocks rear window... Her beautiful dresses, jewellery and charm made me fall in love, so here i am now thinking of 50's themes like there is NO tomorrow!!

Look out for my new "Rocking Retro" Items to be coming shortly, they will be vintage & vintage inspired & all OOAK!!

I cant WAIT!!
