Mother-Of-Pearl

Mother-of-pearl is a very versatile jewellery component as it can be used in many different ways; inlays, carvings, beads and cabochons. MOTHER-OF-PEARL, also known as nacre, is the iridescent inner lining found in some types of mollusc shells, pearl oysters and freshwater pearl mussel shells, and is also the main component of pearls. It is a very strong and resilient substance that is made up of layers of hexagonal platelets of aragonite (a form of calcium carbonate) arranged in an interlocking pattern, which are separated by sheets of organic matrix, comprised of silk-like proteins. This combination of materials arranged in such a pattern, while brittle on their own, makes nacre a very strong material (almost equivalent to silicone) and also decreases the likeliness of cracking or fracturing. Mother-of-pearl appears iridescent…

Summer Trends

Depressed about the state of the economy? At least we don’t have rationing as they did during World War II! Hypothetically, can you imagine being rationed to buying a couple of beads a week? I certainly can’t as my bead stash is an inspiring box – actually several drawers to rummage through at any time, but especially if I am feeling a little stressed or down. The interesting thing about times of trouble whether it be flood, famine or war or even a financial crash, is that fashion jewellery and in particular big bold and ‘in your face’ jewellery boosts morale in these chaotic times and reflects the lavish movies and upbeat music that flow on to the fashion industry. Even this old poem reflects a bright gemstone brilliance to…

Totally Infectious!

Sars’ inspiration comes from many sources, a single item can have hundreds of possibilities, or a newly learnt technique can spin her latest range of jewellery in a whole new direction. SARS’ OBSESSION WITH BEADS and jewellery making started young. “I remember sitting in Maisy’s (an elderly friend of my Mother’s) sunroom when I was three or four and staring at her many jars and containers full of beads, buttons and other odds and sods and realising that almost anything can be combined and turned into beautiful jewellery.” She has still got the very first piece of jewellery she ever made – a bracelet with an eclectic mix of vintage buttons, beads and crystals from Maisy’s stash, strung on red cotton thread, a gift for her Grandmother who kept it…
