fluid designs from AftonRiver



I just received an Etsy email and couldn't help but click the link to AftonRiver's shop. These simple and stylish designs are right up my street: plain colours, minimal but effective embellishment which transforms plain into exotic. Not only that, but the prices are modest too – something we all need to consider at this time. I'm looking forward to my first purchase from this store.

Earrings for non-pierced ears

It seems a while since I was last here, but phew! Life has been rather hectic since the New Year.

Anyway, today I filed my tax return and immediately felt the winter blues fade and positive jewellery thoughts take their place!

I've been after some pretty clip-on earrings for a while, and before the festive season made an extensive search of Etsy… but to no avail!

Without much ado I set about making some to suit my requirements… and then thought I really ought to make extra pairs for those, like me, without pierced ears. Actually I do have pierced ears but year of wearing cheap jewellery has taken its toll and now I'm limited to screw backs and clip-ons!

Here's a couple of samples of my wares:
