A close friend of mine makes the point that as we get older, we should replace fashion statements with jewellery statements. Not bourgeois jewellery like gold chains or pearls which are lovely but if not used properly can make you look mumsy. But larger, bolder even gem intensive fashion pieces. And of course wearing less is more when it comes to large jewellery pieces, were you can get the look by wearing a single, diamond-studded cuff bracelet or a one-of-a-kind cocktail ring.
A few years ago this same friend of mine found out how to make jewellery at home and is now running a successful small jewellery business from home. What started out as a how to make jewellery at home hobby to make jewellery pieces for herself, quickly spread to making jewellery as gifts, for friends and she is now busy making bespoke jewellery pieces for an ever increasing client base.
I recently asked Sam for her advice on how to make jewellery at home and here is a brief summary of what she told me:
