This bobbin lace jewellery was made with high quality materials, such
as fine silver wire (99.5% pure) or 935 silver wire which is between fine
and sterling silver (92.5%) or enamelled copper wire. Sometimes
the silver is chemically oxidised.
The clasps are generally made from sterling silver wire and fine silver
or bare copper sheet.
Most of the designs are my own, but several have been adapted from historic
16th century patterns. I only ever work one or two the same, so
the range is constantly changing. Each piece is packed in its own box
with full care instructions and a label which list materials and the name
of the design, together with a tiny identifying image
This jewellery is very light and comfortable to wear, and much tougher
than it may appear!
