Jewellery making blogs we love
From glittering necklaces to sparkling earrings, DotComGiftShop adores all beautiful accessories, and we’ve found some of the best jewellery-making blogs around to indulge our love of all things pretty. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we do!
Ali Bali Jewellery
Inspired by the wildlife of Scotland, Alison makes all her jewellery for men and women by hand. She particularly loves working with copper, and her simple designs are seasonal and rustic. We think her commissioned Scottish thistle cufflinks are just wonderful!
Rachel Lucie
Rachel Lucie hand makes her own jewellery using silver and semi-precious stones. Here she blogs about the inspiration behind each stunning piece, and the process of making them. If you like modern jewellery with a vintage feel, you’ll love her work. Her ‘Metropolitan’ earrings - with agate and emerald - are to die for.
Fashion Train
Becca started her blog in order to share her fashion obsession with the world - she writes about her brilliant high street finds and developing style. Her taste in jewellery is, of course, fantastic, so you can find some invaluable tips about buying great accessories here. Take a leaf from Becca’s book and dare to wear a pink blazer with striped leggings - you won’t regret it!
I Want You To Know
Having graduated in knitwear and lived for 7 months in New York, Kristabel really understands style, and she wants you to know about the fashion finds she loves. This blog is chock full of photographs that will make you impatient for your next shopping trip. Her collection of necklaces is enough to turn you green with envy - especially the adorable balloon sculpture dog.
Mozzypop
A combination of gorgeous high street fashion and self-designed jewellery, this blog is great for wardrobe inspiration. Dayner gives great advice about how to spruce up what you wear with a few well-chosen accessories and simple hairstyles, even if your budget is tight. Check out her shop for the irresistible Alice in Wonderland ‘drink me’ charm necklace, for a sprinkle of style magic.
Red Bird Jewellery
Gemstones abound at Red Bird Jewellery. Here you’ll find elegant, handmade creations, and the stories behind them. Each month this year there are also birthstone pieces so, from garnet in January to topaz in December, there will be something beautiful for you here on your birthday. Oh, to have been born in April...
Sakura Jewellery
Unique artisan jewellery with a Far Eastern twist is the ethos of Sakura jewellery. The name ‘Sakura’ means ‘cherry blossom’ in Japanese, and this is reflected by the abundance of beautiful floral designs. Necklaces shaped like bluebells and fuschia coloured earrings - you’re just a click away from tropical paradise.
Shpangle Jewellery
Not sure how to keep your keepsakes safe? Mick at Shpangle Jewellery makes bespoke jewellery from your tiny treasures. Whether you want to preserve a scrap of fabric, a lock of hair, or even a message written on a single grain of rice, this is the place to go. This lovely blog also features useful advice about promoting your own business online, and a rather cute poem about a snowman!
Silver Pebble Jewellery
A blog about life, parenthood, and handmade accessories inspired by the English fens. Emma particularly loves enamel and silver, and the pieces she makes are fresh and colourful. Do you like crafts? Then you’ll love her silver knitting needle necklace. Or gardening perhaps? Take a look at the little silver trowel. Simply inspired.
What Simon Said
In this excellent blog Jackie brings together her favourite jewellery discoveries, from the high street, boutiques and online. Whether you’re dressing for a date, or looking for something pretty to go with that new summer dress, you’ll find great tips about what’s available right now. The delightful hummingbird ring is at the top of our list!
