Spotlight on ........ Lichtsome Gems


Lichtsome Gems, hand crafted jewellery by Joyce Edwards.
Ever since she was a little girl Joyce has loved to make things, knitting, sewing, cross-stitch, card making to name but a few but my favourite is jewellery making.
Most of the pieces are one of a kind, and very seldom make two the same. She works with cultured freshwater pearls, mother of pearl, semi-precious stones and finish off every piece with sterling silver. She loves the luminosity and depth of colour of natural pearls, look closely at a pearl and it looks as if it is lit from within. With mother of pearl and semi-precious stones every bead is unique because of it`s natural and indivdual markings.
Joyce sells her pieces at local craft fairs and exhibitions organised by the Speyside Artisans.
To enquire about fairs or arrange to see her work at home you are most welcome to email me joyce942midge@btinternet.com
