Venus Bride Jewellery range
This is an especially glamourous bracelet with a vintage twist - please click on the picture to see a close-up of this item's beauty. I have included, as the focal point a lovely oval vintage brooch that is all intact. The brooch is extremely sparkly as it contain lots of clear, round and dark purple, oblong diamates. There are four strands of quality glass pearls in a lilac shade and the bracelet is finished with a multi-strand, rhodium plated clasp and an extender chain bearing several purple crystals and lilac pearls (see photo). This bracelet would suit a bride or mother of the bride and would work particularly well with a contrasting colour for evening wear or any special occassion. This item is a one-off design because of the vintage brooch and therefore cannot be replicated.
The bracelet comes in a beautiful wooden box finished in a metallic amethyst colour.

Venus Bride Comb
This superb vintage style comb offers something different for a bride or bridesmaid looking to stand out. The silvertone comb is almost 5 inches long and it is heavily embellished with fabulous, large dark grey glass pearls, plus smaller pearls and a variety of sparkling Chinese crystals and Czec fire polished crystals in various shades of grey. All these beautiful beads compliment a lovely vintage marcesite brooch (a spray of flowers)perfectly. The brooch is all in tact so could be removed to have as a keepsake afterwards. This style of comb is ideal to wear at the side of an updo, French Pleat and the like.
Venus Bride Tiara Range
This is a silver-tone alice band side tiara - like many of my others, it has a vintage feel. On the alice band the focal point is a vintage silver coloured brooch in the shape of a flower head. The brooch is all intact so could be removed as a keepsake when the tiara has served its purpose. There is a cluster of diamantes in the centre of the brooch and each petal also bears diamantes. I have created lots of silvery stems around the brooch. These bear either Swarovski and Preciosa crystals in three shades of blue or some tiny fire polished crystals in pale blue with a silvered coating. The remainder of the alice band has been covered with tiny seed beads in a dark metalic blue, intersperced with some of the same blue crystals. This tiara is ideal for anyone looking for something lighter and less fussy. It would suit a bride or bridesmaid.
Price: £35
Venus Bride Jewellery
Lots of choice about how to wear this necklace. This is a 32 icnh silver coloured chain with large oval links and a toggle clasp. When worn as a long necklace the clasp is not in use. However, due to the length, this necklace can be worn with the chain doubled as the large link above the pendant forms part of the clasp. Now for the detail. The pendant is a lovely quality oval, finished in silver around the outside and inside edges, but enamelled with cream on one side and pink on the other, thus giving you a choice depending on the outfit. Hnaging inside the oval pendant is a large Swarovski crystal - clear in colour with an AB finish for extra sparkle, and a cream coloured Swarovski crystal pearl. Between the pearl andthe crystal are several little dangles - again Swarovski pearls and crystals and each with a little silver coloured twirl. The wire used to create this centre piece is tarnish resistant silver plated copper. Continuing up the first few links of the chain are more of the pearl and crystal twirls and this is repeated at the back of the chain so that, when worn doubled, the necklace remains symetrical.
So to summarise, this can be a long or short necklace and can also be cream or pink and cream (due to the cream pearls) at the front.

Venus Bride Jewellery
This gorgeous necklace measures 17 inches plus a further 6 inches for the Swarovski pearls and Chinese crystal pendant so in all this is a 23 inch piece. If the overall length is too long for your taste, I can easily shorten it by looping the row of pearls up, shortening the overall length by around one inch.
The necklace comprises a super quality chain sterling silver chain with lobster clasp and large oval rings at the start of 6 clear teardrop crystals. The pendant is a one and a half inch long, sparkly Chinese crystal pendant embelished with sterling silver twirls. The pendant is attached to the necklace by a row of several Swarovski pearls in cream colour (this is a light cream shade). These pearls are joined together by sterling silver wire. This is an unusual and very beautiful bridal piece, but one which can continue to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.
