This is a fabulous tiara that I made to show that vintage style does not mean you have to wear a side tiara. This design has a diamante encrusted centre-piece, and each side of that, flowing 'ribbons' made from hand-woven bugle beads with a silvery mirror finish. The alice band upon which all of this sits is a silver tone and the band itself, plus the centre piece, contains 'crystal silver' coloured Swarovski crystals. The centre piece also has a large Swarovski bead laid down the front and there is one of the same crystals on each side of the centre piece. Click on the pictures to see in more detail, but this is a stunning tiara to make your special day perfect.

Here is another fabulously sparkling side tiara set on a sivlertone alice band. The large focal flower is hand crocheted in tarnish resistant, silver plated copper wire. The flower bears lots of Swarovski crystals and each petal is edged with tiny AB finish seed beads to give the frosted effect. The centre of the flower is made up of several huge, circular Swarovski crystals (vintage) and the stamens in the centre of the flower and around the edges are also Swarovksi crystals on silver plated wire.

Wow your friends with this stunning Poppy fascinator, very similar to the one worn by Fearn Cotton when she visited Paris Hilton in America. It is a silver tone alice band bearing a fabulous feather poppy style flower. The centre of the 'flower' is set with lots of little black, sparkling beads and the stamens are the same beads set on dark pink enamelled copper wire. A single fluffy feather is set at the bade of the poppy.

Venus Bride - stick pin brooch
This is a lovely brooch that would suit any occasion. It is made on a stick pin, with large, quality chunks of Amethyst and Rose Quartz, accompanied by pink and purple feathers. The stones are held on tarnish resistant, silver plated copper wire, which also forms lots of decorative 'twirls' at the base of the cluster.

In beautiful shades of autumn on a gold-tone alice band sit fabulous clusters of clear diamantes, cream coloured faux pearls and crystals, champagne coloured glass pearls, and amber coloured navette shaped beads. The wire on this tiara is also gold-tone and the design imitates a windswept autumn avenue, with the beads mainly seated on the side of the band and falling towards the face. The remainder of the band is covered with lots of tiny, champagne coloured glass pearls.

What a gorgeous shade of pink this fascinator flower is. It is made from hand-dyed feathers in two types (one of which is dark pink with light pink spots), with the centre encrusted with black and pink sparkly beads and with lots of stamens in pink and black, all made from silver plated copper wire.
The flower is seated on a silvertone alice band, so will be very secure for a special occasion.

This is a beautiful vintage design comb measuring almost 5 inches in length and ideal for fitting down the side of a French pleat. The piece contains cream Swarovski pearls and 'black diamond' coloured Swarovski crystals. These accompany a lovely Art Deco brooch that is a Czec, silver tone piece (all in tact so could be removed from the comb later). The age of the brooch means that what were originally probably clear diamantes are now a lovely pale champagne colour, and still sparkling. A one off design that cannot be repeated.

This double band tiara is a comfortable hand-made band bearing only Swarovski crystals, with a single, larger teardrop crystal in the centre. I can remove this if not required.) The sparkle of these crystals has meant I could not capture the piece with clarity. The design is meant to be worn across the forehead, just the way Tallula did it in Bugsy Malone.
Gone to a new home and made another to go with it for two lovely little girls.

Venus Bride Fascinator range
This lovely fascinator, using a silver tone Alice band, is a big flower made from lovely curly feathers in a pale turquoisey shade of blue, and white. In the centre of the flower is a cluster of blue faceted beads and a few more are scattered around the flower on silvery stems. This is the ideal headpiece for a wedding, the races or any other special event.

This is an original design Calla Lily side tiara - similar to the one shown below. The difference is that this tiara bears two hand-crocheted lilies, each covered with a mass of AB coated seed beads and with a base made from lots of Swarovski crystals. The tip of each flower bears clusters of even smaller AB coated seed beads to give a frosted effect. The flowers' swirling stamens bear Swarovski crystals and seed beads. The head band, which is also hand-made from silver plated copper wire, is very comfortable to wear, having no tension around the back of the wearer's ears. For security the headband is fitted with a silvertone comb behind the lilies and the whole headband is covered with hundreds of the same AB coated seed beads. This design sparkles continuously, owing to the silver plated wire used to create the lilies, and the beads chosen for the design. As such, it is difficult to capture its true beauty. The tiara is designed to wear the flowers on the left side of the head.
Price £110

Venus Bride Tiara Range
This is a superb tiara - an original design. It is made up of a hand-made, silver plated copper band that is fully bound with silver-plated copper wire - all tarnish resistant. On the band sits a beautiful Calla lilly. The lilly has been created by hand crocheting very fine silver plated wire with over a hundred little glass pearls in a very light cream colour. On the tip of the lilly there are heaps of tiny AB finish seed beads - this makes it look like the edges are frosted. Unusually, this lilly has three stamens, each bearing an assortment of AB finish Swarovski crystals and more of the tiny seed beads. The stamens have some flexibility and can be arranged either standing high or lying fairly flat against the flower - they are a stunning addition. The base of the lily is bound with silver plated wire, and lots of small, AB finish Swarovski crystals. Overall, the softness of the lilly and the sparkle of the crystals make this tiara an outstanding headpiece for any bride, and one that you will not find anywhere else.
The headband on this tiara is very comfortable with loops at the ends for attaching an elastic or ribbons if desired. A comb can also be added if it is felt extra security is needed, but this has not been done until the wearer decides which side the tiara will be worn on as the design allows for either right or left hand side.
Venus Bride Tiara Range
This is a large comb (almost 5 inches long) in silver tone finish and embellished with lots of crystals and special jewellery clay flowers. There are two 'flowers' created with sparkling teardrop crystals, two beautiful clay roses with a light cream pearlised finish, three large Swarovski crystals with AB finish, several little pearlised trumpet flowers, each bearing Swarovski crystal stamens and finally, lots of gorgeous AB finish tiny seed beads, giving a slightly frosted appearance to the piece. This would be fabulous slipped into the side of an up do, or worn in place of a traditional tiara, anywhere in your hair really.

Here are three examples of the hair pins I make. I can make these in crystal, pearl or a commbination of both and in the colours of your choice. They are an ideal way to attach a hair vine, crown or tiara if needed. They blend exactly with the hair vines I make and look far better than plain brown hair pins. There are two examples using Swarovski crystal and one example using pearls and flowers with a pearlised finish in the photographs.
I can also make similar items using bobby pins and items with more beads (ask for a quote)
Price for the pins shown here: £10 for a set of four.
