Treasure

As promised, ages ago, this post is to show some of the beautiful jewellery that is in the British Museum.

I do have to admit that I may not be able to remember what period it came from so I suggest the best thing is if you pop along to the museum yourself or if unable due to distance, then check out the website here.This is the collection database here.

So all I am going to show is the photos I took. Bear in mind that this is just a tiny tiny proportion of what there is in the museum.

My photographs are pretty bad but I did try to capture some of the amazing detail.  Alot of these photos are of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon jewellery and it amazes me that goldsmiths some 1500 years ago could create such beautiful pieces.  Truly inspiring.  Oh yes I think there is some photos of Roman and possible Egyptian pieces too (bad Alix! Take notes next time).

And now for something completely different..from hats that is (see my last post). But still gorgeous.

Alison of AliBaliJewellery designs and handcrafts most of her sublimely beautiful jewellery using recycled silver and copper. The Little Robin Redbreast Silver Pendant above is so sweet that I had to start with him.

Isn't this a lovely idea? What a perfect gift to remind you of a loved one. Have a look at the other personalised jewellery here.
