Venus Bride - Tiara Range



This is an absolutely delightful little crown, made on a tiny circular, silvertone band with attached comb. On this example, I have used sparkly acrylic beads in a mixture of colours, to keep the crown lightweight, if used for a child. Having the comb attached means this tiara can be worn tilted on the side of the head, without fear of losing it. With acrylic beads, which could be in a single colour or any combination of colours you want, this is a most unusual and visually stunning headpiece for a flower girl, but with real crystals, it could just as easily be worn by the Bride herself. The model in these pictures is a full size ladies head and as you can see, the crown does not look too minature for an adult.

Price for acrylic beads: £25. For same design in crystals or pearls, please contact me by e-mail to discuss.

Venus Bride Comb


This 'vintage look' comb contains crystals in a flower design, with 'ribbons' made from beautiful twisted, silver lined tubes. This comb can be worn on either side as the sparkling ribbons look equally beautiful which ever way they flow.

This dual-style fascinator is created using a large quantity of olive green feathers, sparkling fire polished facetted beads and tiny glass pearls, all on a silvertone alice band. The design can be worn with the feathers flowing away from the face, or coming across onto the face, as shown in the photographs. Both options look fabulous with your hair swept off your face.

Venus Bride Tiara Range




These are two beautiful hair vines, each one different, but using similar materials. There are Swarovski crystals, ivory coloured pearls, mother of pearl, a couple of silver-foil lined, glass tube beads and pearlised flowers and leaves in the shorter vine - measuring eleven inches(including the two small loops for attaching to your hair). The longer vine, which measures fourteen inches, has more twisted stems and contains: Swarovski crystals; AA quality Rock crystal beads; ivory coloured pearls, the same glass tubes with silver foil lining and some pearlised flowers and leaves. The Swarovski crystals, silver lined tubes and rock crystal all add plenty of sparkle to each piece.
The tarnish resistant, silver plated copper wire, used to construct these hair vines is quite robust and can be carefully manipulated into the desired shape. Both items are ideal for weaving through your hair, around a bun or other up-do, or laying down the side of a French pleat. They can also be used as a headband or hairband, by pinning in place using the end loops. Other colours can be used for a hair vine, or you could choose all crystals or all pearls. Prices would depend on materials used.

Venus Bride Brooch/buttonhole


This is a gorgeous stick pin brooch that is suitable to be used as a ladies button- hole. It is made from freshwater pearls in lilac and cranberry colours, two 'stems' created using little twisted glass tubes with a silver foil lining to give some sparkle. There is also one stemm with a glass pearl teardrop, also in lilac colour. A few goose biot feathers have been added for effect. All are bound together using tarnish resistant silver plated copper wire.
Similar items could be made using beads and feathers in other colours, or omitting the feathers if desired. I could also create something with far more sparkle by using Swarovski crystals. Prices would differ, depending on materials used.
