Review: Debbie Sykes Animal Art Sea Glass Picture

 I was lucky enough to win a beautiful piece of sea glass art from Debbie Sykes Animal Art  in the same competition I won my sea glass pendant. Debbie Sykes is also an Etsy seller and she specialises in sea glass art using Cornish sea glass that has been found on local beaches and animal portraits. Each piece is unique and beautifully made. She can also be followed on Instagram. 

I  won the Blue Lace picture. It is very whimsical and the tiny pieces of stone appear to gleam and sway in the sun bringing the flowers to life. The frame can be either hung or free standing. The whole aesthetic of the piece is minimalistic but with that little bit extra. I love it but am not sure where to put it as it deserves a beautiful setting - which my house lacks! My picture came beautifully wrapped  with a little hedgehog charm attached. This is now an extra add on if you purchase an item but I would recommend it as then you don’t have to wrap the item yourself and the wrapping itself is gorgeous and can be reused. 

I will purchase from this store in the future. There are some beautiful handmade sea glass hedgehog cards (£4.95) that are calling my name and my blue lace picture is perfection. 

I won this item in a competition but this did not affect the views expressed in my blog

Review: Rolling Waves Cornwall Sterling Silver Cornish Sea Glass Pendant

I was lucky enough to win a Rollingwavescornwall sterling blue sea glass pendant in her Instagram competition. I have always been fascinated with sea glass when I’ve seen it on the beach. Each piece is unique, shaped by the waves and sea. Rolling Waves Cornwall is an Etsy seller who specialises in hand making Cornish Sea Glass Jewellery.  You can also follow her on Instagram. 

My stone is a light blue which almost glows in the sunlight. The setting compliments ad enhances the stone by being minimalist. The piece would be suitable for all occasions and seasons. I have purchased a similar piece with a yellow stone for this month’s blog competition and it cost £40 which I think is very reasonable for a handmade piece of jewellery. The pendant is boxed in a Rolling Waves Cornwall embossed gift box. 

I would and have purchase more items in the future. Each piece is unique and exquisitely made. 

I won this piece of jewellery in a competition but this has not affected the opinion expressed in this blog post. 

Review:GemShou Earring Stand

 I noticed that the earring stand I was using as a blog/ photo prop was looking rather wonky and scuffed so I went and searched on Amazon U.K. to find a reasonably priced replacement. I found the Gemshou earring stand (£13.99). This is available in black, silver, rose gold and gold and in 2 heights 11 and 13 cm. The stands can also be purchased in sets. 

 The stand arrived in three pieces that were very easily screwed together. The stand can be used to display both hoop and stud post earrings. It is compact and can be taken apart and stored flat when not in use. 

I would purchase this stand in other colour ways. Looking at the stores’ a other listings the stands are available with different shaped bases and there are also matching cone/ ring stands which would be great for jewellers/ Etsy jewellers to display their items on for photos etc.

Little Silver Hedgehog Sterling Silver Hedgehog

I have bought and reviewed several pieces of Little Silver Hedgehog’s hedgehog jewellery (she does create other nature and wildlife animal themed jewellery). I enjoy wearing my pieces because not only are all the pieces handmade in her workshop but a portion of her profits goes towards supporting her hedgehog rescue. The sterling silver hedgehog earrings (£40) caught my eye because they are summery and eye catching.  

 I have not tried the earrings on as they are earmarked as a Twitter competition prize. They are beautiful sterling silver earrings each embossed with a hedgehog. The circular charms are attached to hook fastening. They done feel particularly heavy / I hate earrings that pull my earlobes down.  Each earring measures 1.6cm in diameter. 

The packaging is lovely - the earrings are safely packed ina Little Silver Hedgehog embossed gift bow along with a photo of a hedgehog and leaflets about how to care for them, the whole package would make a great gift for yourself or someone else!
