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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

This breathtaking golden crown can only be described as a catwalk piece. The crown is covered with metres of gold plated, tarnish resistant wire, Swarovski crystals, rock crystal, carnelian, bronze coloured freshwater pearls and a few glass drop beads in amber and amethyst colours. Amongst the peaks are heaps of golden branches of varying lengths, intertwined to create the effect of jewelled grass, winding its way through and around the crown. These branches are flexible and can be altered to suit the wearer, with some perhaps woven into your hair if desired. There are 5 hidden loops for attaching the crown to your head, to ensure no slippage on your wedding day - a fairytale come true.

This lovely 'Art Deco' style, side tiara is based on a silvertone alice band. The sparkling, flowing 'ribbons' are made from mirror glass bugle beads and the centre piece is a beautiful diamante flower shape. This was a brooch in a former life and I have embellished it further with Swarovski crystals around the centre point. The remainder of the headband has been covered with heaps of little mirror glass seed beads. The tiara is designed to be worn on either side of the head and can be placed forward almost right against the forehead, or further back. It lies quite flat against the face, giving no added height to the wearer as the only parts that rise up are the ends of the 'ribbons', which curl up very slightly. It is suitable for a number of hairstyles. A one-off design - you saw it here first!!

This side tiara is designed to create a vintage look. There are four leaves, each covered with Swarovski crystals, beautiful AB finish seed beads and silver lined bugle beads. Each leaf also bears a number of stunning, large round Swarovski crystals with AB finish - reminiscent of huge raindrops. The Marquesite centre piece amongst the leaves has a sparkling, art noveau style - originally a brooch, and has been further embellished with Swarovski crystals. There are three stems, each bearing a Swarovski 'long bicone' crystal and several smaller crystals. The headband is very comfortable, without the tight grip that comes with some metal headbands. It is made from sturdy, silver plates copper wire, covered in hundreds of AB finish seed beads. The wire used throughout the design is also silver plated copper and two distinct finishes have been chosen - antique silver and shiny silver, to add further interest and help create the vintage feel.
This tiara is a stunning original creation. It should be worn with the leaves falling across the forehead and cheek as shown on the model and is suitable for a variety of hairstyles. Watch out for further designs with this look.

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.
