A ribbon or riband is a thin band of material, typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily as decorative binding and tying. Ribbons are used for innumerable useful, ornamental, and symbolic purposes. Cultures around the world use ribbon in their hair, around the body, and as ornamentation on non-human; animals, buildings, and packaging.

Cloth ribbons are typically made of natural materials such as silk, velvet, cotton, and jute. They can also be made from a variety of synthetic materials, such as polyester, nylon, and polypropylene.

The Ribbon is a sparkling, pliable band of tiny seed beads forming a ribbon-like band. The band is then embellished with hundreds of tiny sparkling firepolished beads. The Ribbon can be made with or without the “bow”. The Ribbon is further accentuated with decorated tassels ending in delightful tear drop shaped beads.

Filigree available from here

Filigree is delicate jewellery metalwork, usually of gold and silver, made with tiny beads or twisted threads, or both in combination. It is soldered together or to the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs like lace, scrolls or arabesques. Popular in Indian and other Asian metalwork as well in Italian, French and Portuguese metalwork from 1660 to the late 19th century.

A delicate filigree cubic zirconia focal is encased with an intricate cubic right angle weave bezel. The bezel continues upwards to form a flowing rope showcasing the exquisite little Quarter Tila beads. The elegant, sophisticated collar is secured with a sparkly cubic zirconia magnetic clasp.

A handmade ornament is one of the most precious heirloom you can hand down to your children. It also makes an extremely meaningful and personal Christmas gift for a loved one or a dear friend. Your gift of love will certainly be cherished for many Christmases to come.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is made in 2 parts. First the peyote star is made. When the star is completed, we will bezel a chaton for the centre and embellish the arms of the star. We will also build a loop at the tip of one of the arms so that you can hang the star on your tree. Before you start, it would be a good idea for you to read all the instructions once through so that you will understand the sequence of what you will need to do. 

Star Light, Star Bright uses a structured peyote woven base that is then embellished with glimmering chaton montees at the spokes. This style of setting crystals allows every facet of the beautiful Swarovski xilion chaton stone to be seen in all its glory without obstruction or hindrance. Nestled at the centre of the star, is a snowflake embracing another xilion chaton. The result is a star that answers my wishes – a glimmering, glittering ornament that would look exquisite on any tree.

Give the gift of a wish this Christmas season. Star Light Star Bright makes a beautiful gift for a loved one or a friend. Make them for your own Christmas tree and invite your friends and family to make a wish for peace, happiness and love this festive season.

But what is a snow flake? Simply it’s a single frozen crystal of ice. Always six sided in structure, no two snowflake are alike.

Snowflakes conjure up images of white Christmases and many legends have been passed on from generation to generation about the humble but beautiful snowflake. One of the most popular is that long ago, a shining star led the way to a child born in a manger. Snowflakes are believed to be pieces of that gleaming star that will guide us through our lifes.

My humble snowflake embodies all the beauty and tradition of this beautiful creation of Nature. Six crystal encrusted spokes radiate from a central crystal. Each spoke is embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystal montees reflecting light just like a real snowflake. At the end of each spoke, is a beautiful glass point with an Aurora Borealis surface diffusing light into a glorious rainbow. Between each spoke, a spidery web of beads and crystals further evoke the filigree beauty and grace of the snowflake.

Snowflake – a beautiful ornament for your Christmas tree this Yuletide.
Whether its for your own tree or for a friend or loved one, Snowflake will be a very personal and cherished ornament for many years to come.
