Green and Black

Green and Black

(Silver Plated, Black Gemstone, Black Seed Beads, Green Glass Beads, Black Pearl Beads)

The Black and Green line is quite a different style to the more soft and feminine style that dominates the Mio Handmade Jewellery range. 

The bracelet uses black stone, green crackle bead and black seed beads to give a really rich and dramatic effect.  The bracelet uses a weaving technique which makes this piece really unique.

Bracelet Detail

There are three different earring options that each have their own style and inspiration whilst remaining within the beautiful colour range of rich black and jungle green.

Single Drop 

A simple elegant piece which uses green with an accent of black beading.  The smaller green bead that is framed by two black seed beads has smalle black details painted on to bring the green and black shades together.

Green and Black Drops

Left - Green with a Black Accent

Right - Black with a Green Accent

The two pairs of earrings have been crafted in the same way to allow for a cluster of various stone within the same piece.  However, the piece on the left uses more green shades with an accent of black.  The piece on the right uses two different sizes of black pearls, black stone and green and black painted beads to add the slightest hint of green.

Thanks!

Dangle Earring in Pink Pearl

Dangle Earring in Pink Pearl

(Silver plated, pink pearl glass beads, silver net ball findings)

This range uses two shades of pearl and a beautifully engraved silver plated finding.  The graduation of the beading from a small 4mm to a larger 8mm pearl helps to balance out this elegant design. 

This piece incoporate a really deep rich shade of pink that is rarely used in jewellery.  The photograph does not capture the two different shades of pink pearl used in the piece to add a unique to touch to this classis design.

This piece uses a much lighter shade of pink pearl than the previous design.  In order to make this piece striking I have used a contrasting blue/grey pearl.   It took quite a while to find the correct combination of bead shades but I am very happy with the final piece.

Thanks

The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden

(Silver Plated, Amethyst Chip Gemstone, Green Aventurine Chip Gemstone, Rose Quartz, Pink Mother of Pearl, Glass Pearl Beads)

This earring and necklace set was inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel 'The Secret Garden'.  I have mixed the three gemstones with the pearl to give a soft and delicate touch of colour to this pearl necklace and earring set.

Necklace Detail

The pink mother of pearl bead is beautifully framed by two silver plated bead details which then transition to amethyst and green aventurine gemstone.  The brilliant white pearl bead adds a softness to the beautiful sequence of coloured gemstones.







Secret Garden Earring

(Silver Plated, Pearl Beads, Green Aventurine, Amethyst and Rose Quartz)

These are one of my favourite earrings in the MHJ collection.  I chose not to include the mother of pearl beading in the earring as I wanted this piece to be quite soft and delicate so I felt it would be more effective to use smaller stones. 

The amethyst, rose quartz and green aventurine gemstone have been suspended on a clear wire to give the illusion that they are floating under the pearl.

Thanks!

Pearl and Gem Drops

Pearl and Gem Drops

(Siver Plated, Freshwater pearls, Glass beads, Bicone Beads, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz)

The pearl and gem drop earring range has been handcrafted using a variety of stones and beads.  Each piece uses a  combination of materials that is unique to that particular earring. 

Deep Candy Drops

(Fuchsia Freshwater Pears, Glass Pear Beads, Clear Quarts and Glass Bicone Beads)

This is a lovely mix of stones.  I love the range of shades within this earring and the variation of shapes and sizing of the different gems.

Blush Pink Drops

(Pale Pink Freshwater Pearls, Rose Quartz, Glass Pearl Beads, Clear Bicone Beads)

A truly feminine piece.  The pale pink freshwater pearl sets the tone for the rose quartz and pearls. 

Pure Ivory Drops

(Glass Pearl Beads)

This piece feels very bridal.  I chose to use only ivory glass beads to give a pure and classic feel to this piece.   

Creme Caramel Drop

                      

( Freshwater Pearls, Crackle Beada, Glass Pearl Beads, Glass Bicone Beads)

I wanted to incorporate a more bold shade in this line and I felt that using a combination of rich brown and bronze gems would create an unusual piece. 

The dark freshwater pearl is the focal point of the piece.  The lighter brown and caramel hues of the glass beading act to soften the whole composition.  I also included a single white pearl bead to add a lighter touch to the piece.

Thanks:)

Freshwater Pearl Teardrop Earrings

Freshwater Pearl Teardrop Earrings

(Silver Plated, Freshwater Pearls)

These teardrop earrings are one of the more simple designs at Mio Handmade Jewellery.  Each earring has a freshwater pearl attached to the top of the teardrop frame.  The line comes in four different colours: Fuchsia, Pale Pink, Light Green, Deep Blue and Copper Gold.

I love the simple elegance of this range.  Designing jewellery is a real process and this project was no exception.  I had initially planned to make incorporate a lot more beading into the frame of the earring but upon reflection I realised that the true beauty of the design is in its clean lines.

Pink Mother of Pearl and Freshwater Pearl Dangling Earrings

Pink Mother of Pearl and Freshwater Pearl Dangling Earrings

(Silver Plated, Mother of Pearl, Freshwater Pearls, Silver Glass Beads)

I have always wanted to do a really fun and feminine dangle earring using real gemstones and this is one of my favourite pieces.  This piece  makes such a statement that it could be worn without any other accessories.

Each earring consists of two mother of pearl beads that naturally sparkle in the light and to add a little bit of extra movement to this piece at the end of the earring shaft is a freshwater pearl.  It was really important to make sure that this piece had a lot of movement to maximise the sparkle so each section has been made on a separate piece of wire and attached together.  Small silver seed beads have also been included into the design to add some more depth and unity between the three sections of the earring.

Thanks
