'A reminder that the sun will start shining again, no matter what.'

- Designs From Ire. We just love sunstone! Irene never fails to create stunning and intricate designs.

'Possibly my favourite ring I have ever made | not only is it pink, this incredible piece of glass was naturally tumbled by the sea into a shape of a butterfly wing. I can not describe to you how lucky I am to own this incredibly rare one off sea glass. I know for a fact I will never find anything like it ever again...'

- Sadie Jewellery. Dreamy huh? Sea glass jewellery is something we love, especially as we live beside the sea. We're always refreshing Sadie's Instagram to see what she's making next!

For all you mermaid lovers! If you love being beside the sea, with the sand between your toes - these earrings are made for you. What a gorgeous design by Lisa from Flutterbies Den

'This one challenged me, but I loved making it! Blue flashy labradorite from Kernowcraft. I'm so pleased with it! The design wasn't what I had in mind but inspiration took me elsewhere.'

- Blownsilver. So intricate, the detail is amazing and how amazing does that labradorite look?

Lapis Luzuli ring created by the talented jeweller Emily Booth Jewellery. We just love Emily's geometric designs!

What a dreamy ring combo! Yasmin Leah's picked labradorite and amazonite to complete the look and we're obsessed!

'A super simple silver wire wrap, wear a piece of ocean treasure wherever you go.'

- Louise, creator of Shore Fine Design. Sea glass designs are always something special, the use of wire wrapping adds that special touch.

'Really pleased with my pendant which will be part of my "Blowing Bubbles" collection when my online shop launches in the new year... Inspired by Aria and her love to catch and pop bubbles.

- Sarah, Midnight Alchemy Designs. Featuring one of our beautiful ruby with zoisite gemstones!

'I love working with and supporting brands that make it possible and encourage us to explore our creativity. And, @kernowcraft is a company that does just that. They have supplies for jewellers of all experience levels and abilities. And, I’m proud to say that they played a key role in my journey to becoming a full-time jeweller. They probably didn’t even know this, but they kept me company on days when I didn’t feel like I had much purpose at all. I LOVED making these earrings for someone special for Christmas.'

- Caitie, When Caitie Met Soda. Such a lovely comment, it means so much that we can be part of people's jewellery making journeys!

Here, Caitie uses Kernowcraft's rhodolite garnet faceted stones.
