You know the new Shell Pearl earrings? Well I recently made this customised variation of the chunky pink shell earring for a lovely customer in Wales.
My customer liked the idea of the shimmering white shells rather than the pink, and still topped with a freshwater pearl.
I’m always happy to work with you and tweak my designs so they’re just right for you!
Do you prefer the pink or the white version?

Heyyy peeps!
Here’s a custom order I made last month at very short notice! I actually stayed up until 12.30am making it on the Saturday night after being up from 7am and at the Salcombe pop up shop all day too - but it was worth it!! :D
XO Acapulco in khaki and white
My customer wanted a special gift for a very special friend, and loved the idea of something customised especially for her. She wanted a personalised bracelet and loved the colours in the khaki XO Acapulco cuff because she said they would go with almost anything, from t-shirts to a dress. And to match the bracelet she asked for a pair of personalised earrings, with the initial A.
So I got busy!
First I had to order the super cute 24 carat gold plated initial charms. I am definitely going to order some teeny S for myself soon too!
Then I had to do the maths! Because the XO Acapulco cuff is so geometric I needed to work out the patterns exactly to the bead. And then design the font, fit the name in, decide the colours (this was quite fiddly too!)…you get the picture!
Then the beading began! I used rounded seed beads for the name ANOUD so that is slightly raised and stands out from the bracelet. The gold beads are electroplated 24 carat gold - ooh la la.
Fitted with the same khaki coloured teeny seed beads, the ‘A’ earrings will look wonderful over summer with a golden glow.
I hope Anoud was thrilled with her gift and the lovely sentiment behind it for her.
Do you think I should offer more custom name bracelets like this?

Hello everyone! Just a little reminder that all orders placed between 5/06/19 - 27/06/19 will be posted on 28th June.
I’m going on a trip and so will be processing (and making!) all orders on my return.
I’m heading to Miami, Florida, and then on to the Bahamas. This is my first big trip since moving back to the UK and so I'm very much looking forward to it - and some R+R in the sunshine!
Chris and I took the exact same trip the first year we met - 11 years ago! And so I thought I’d share some of the photos from my first time in Miami and the Bahamas, and then we can see how much has changed when I return next week.
We stayed in Miami for a few nights, then went over to Abaco, before spending the last few nights in Freeport, Grand Bahama.
I’d been desperate to drink from a ‘real’ coconut all holiday!!
When we arrived in Miami I was THRILLED, because at the time my fave everrrr show was CSI Miami, Horatio in particular was just the best character in my opinion!!
Within a few hours of arriving, I’d been my usual idiot self - I raced Chris to the pool outside, tried to take a short cut, slipped and really banged my shin - so I had a gigantic purple bump for the first week or so of our holiday (I hurt the exact same leg a few months later in Madeira, so thought it was cursed on holidays!!).
Miami was amazing. The first night we got there, we went out and ordered dinner. I ordered a Greek salad from the starters section, and it was the biggest salad I had ever seen. And as soon as it was put in front of me, jet lag hit and I almost fell asleep on top of it! Haha.
We caught a bus to a huge mall, and I couldn’t help myself and bought five pairs of shoes that I somehow managed to squeeze into my case - the cream leopard pair are in the pix below, with my freshly bruised shin!
After Miami we took two more planes, and a boat, to get to Abaco. Our cabin had a hammock overlooking the ocean, it was lovely. We tried to sleep in the hammock one evening and were awoken by some really strange, creepy noises - so back to the cabin we fled!
I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since that trip, and what’s also unbelievable is that I still have a good lot of those clothes (not that they all still fit me!). I’m hoping for more adventures this time, too :-)
So that’s my trip down memory lane :-)

MORE gorgeous celeb style inspo from Made in Chelsea’s Louise Thompson.
Here she shows us how to rock these pastel pink handmade Candy earrings. She’s paired them with a monochrome striped ensemble, and again with an amazing tropical print kimono wrap dress. The pop of pink looks stunning with both looks.

Whoop whoop! HOW GOOD does Louise Thompson look in her Shh by Sadie Pink Parrot Charm earrings? Oh my goodness I am still pinching myself ;D
The Made in Chelsea star wore them on her recent trip to Bali and they created quite the buzz, even being featured in the Mail Online!
I’ve been a busy bee prepping as many parrot earrings as I can - they are flying off to their new homes as far as Singapore :-)
