Beads and more jewellery of beads to wear

We love beads and the more unusual the better. So just a showcase of some of our bead jewellery to wear. From beads of strings to beads used on brooches and earrings. We like vintage and the more unusual shaped or colours. So take a peak at our selection. Of course they were all available on Jewels and Finery. We have now closed down our website. But have kept up this blog for information and of course many photographs of the different bead jewellery available once upon a time.

Our blog has a new home

Just to let you know that any new posts about jewellery will be now on our other blog that is attached to our website Jewels and Finery. We do still intend to us this occasionally but we will be transfering most of our old blogs over.

But for now here are a few of our latest additions in earrings:

Pewter earrings for non pierced ears

Long and dangling clear diamante earrings - again for non pierced ears.

Beautiful Iris or rainbow glass earrings for non pierced ears. We have a small selction of rainbow glass in earrings as well as brooches and necklaces. So have a look.

Corn dolly earrings - quite unusual and fun to wear.

African female and baby earrings

Red enamel earrings with diamante 

We add about 30 to 50 additions each week. So lots to see and of course we do reduce many items every month for clearance.
