Starshine shimmer Giveaway

At last the big day has arrived. I have reached my first target and gained 50 followers on my jewellery blog, which is a huge achievement for me as, for some reason when you click on my icon no link details for any of my blogs are given, even though I have them ticked on my profile page.
So well done all of you for finding me and thank you for considering my blog worth following!
As it turns out, I have another reason for celebrating as today I have also entered the 'Top 100 UK Wedding Tweeters List'
So with this in mind and the fact that I have promised a give away when I reach 50 followers I would like to offer these beautiful sparkly earrings as my first jewellery blog give away!

I made these earrings with Swarovski crystals, of course, and silver plate diamante beads, the ear hooks are sterling silver.
If you would like your name entered for this earring give away all you have to do is to follow this blog, if you aren't already, and leave a comment about this post.
The closing date for this will be 6pm (my time) Sunday Feb 27th
I look forward to reading your comments.
Please feel free to share this with your friends or on Facebook and Twitter

Welcome to Angela Smith jewellery

Staffordshire handmade bespoke jewellery Designer.

I have been designing and making beaded jewellery for more than 20 years now. It all started with a kit for 6 pairs of earrings, and I still get as excited about making jewellery today as I did then.

I use a variety of beads, including freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal, Venetian glass, dichroic glass, semi precious beads or any other type of bead that I feel is needed for the design I am working on.

I am constantly exploring new ways to incorporate these beads into designs and as a result my designs sometimes move away from jewellery into other slightly more 'off the wall' accessories

Jewellery Making Birthday parties

10 things I love, after my family

sitting on the cliffs watching the sea
Lord of the Rings, the books and the films
an open fire in the winter
Christmas
photography, although I'm still learning
earl grey tea preferably made with loose tea leaves in a pot, poured into a china mug
colour - life would be very boring in black and white
The Hebrides- I would move there tomorrow if I could, only problem would be choosing the island
my herb garden and most of what flies about in it
the dawn chorus and listening to bird song throughout the day

Some jewellery tips

To keep your jewellery looking good, it is always best to hang your necklaces or keep them lying flat in a box.

Earrings are easier to find if hanging in pairs instead of being thrown in a box or drawer along with a multitude of other earrings.

All of my own earrings hang from a cork board covered with felt and painted to compliment the surrounding decor.

It is also best to apply any perfumes, hairsprays etc before putting your jewellery on, this will help to prevent your jewellery tarnishing.

If your skin has an intollerance to certain jewellery metals, try painting a varnish onto your jewellery, watches and belts, . You can buy jewellery varnish at most department stores, although nail varnish works equally as well.

Always remove jewellery before washing unless items are gold or sterling silver as other metals can react with soap and water

If you have pearls, wear them, this is the best way to keep them in good condition, after wearing it is recommended that you gently wipe them with a damp soft cloth before putting them away.
