DESCRIPTION

This online catalogue, features popular designs, which I would be happy to copy or customise. For my newest creations, please visit my website www.janiebates.com Almost 20 years ago, I lived in Egypt and became so excited by the hand-made pieces of silver and beads, some of them traded for centuries around the world, that I was inspired to collect and string pieces together to make jewellery which captures the mystery and cultural richness embedded in each piece. My jewellery is authentic and unique and I specify what each piece is and where it came from to the best of my ability. I try to buy from sellers who maintain traditional indigenous artistic techniques and designs, as much as possible.
