International Jewellery London 2010

Wednesday I spent the day at International Jewellery London at Earls Court 2, celebrating both UK and International jewellery designers, wholesalers and manufacturers. This year there was lots of choice and variation, from glass to diamonds. 

Interesting statement sculptural shapes, strong bold modern settings, platinum, silver, aluminum, stainless steel, some with large clear gemstones.  
Saw several stacking rings & composable bracelets giving a sense of been able add your own flare and style to your jewelley.
Colour was everywhere crystals, glass, gems also many designs had used butterflies and dragonflies from small earrings to extra large brooches. There seemed to be more suppliers than last year and as always was an interesting day.

I got some nice interesting carved quartz beads, freshwater pearls and crystals, now to play with them and make up some new stitch markers.
