About Handmade By Di
Hi, I'm Di
Thank you for visiting my website and thank you for clicking this page to find out more
I started making my own jewellery in 2006, when I tried to create my own wedding necklace, no shops seemed to do the kind of necklace I wanted at the price I liked, so I thought I would have a go myself and try and create what I wanted. It was a success, I loved my necklace & it didn't cost a fortune.
Looking back now it probably wasn't the best one I made! I think it was stuck together with glue in places ~ needless to say, I have learnt a lot since then!
Early 2010 my creativeness went into overdrive; I had so many pieces never worn I decided I would try and sell them to friends an family, In April 2010 I set up business and have been going strong ever since
Apart from jewellery, my other interests include cars;sporty types, animals; I have 2 cats and 4 chickens Pictures here, yoga, cooking & real ale.
Jewellery is one of my weaknesses, I feel lost without something to match the clothes I am wearing, I should think most of you will relate to this. I love beaded jewellery as it is so versatile, you can make anything to match a particular dress or outfit.
My designs incorporate the best beads and findings I can get hold of, using sterling silver and semi precious beads where possible
My favourite part of designing is colour co-ordinating and mixing textures, sizes and types of beads. Many Necklaces have been strung together several times before I get the right combination of beads I am happy with.
I offer a bespoke service, whatever you want I can make for you.
So if you see something on the site for sale but the colours are not right for you; Contact Me; I may be able to recreate in your own colours.
Above anything I want my service to you to be a personal and pleasant one, ending with you happy with your purchase.
