golden apple from Clara Francis

Just plucked from the Clara Francis jewellery tree is this beautiful golden apple:

Available in silver (£75), and gold-plated silver (£85), exclusive to her blog - to pick this perfect jewel for Spring email: shop@clarafrancis.co.uk

Clara also makes the most exquisite beaded flowers, butterflies and other creatures which are fashioned into necklaces, brooches and earrings - I found these at London Fashion Weekend and the Primrose Hill Designer Fair. Tiny beads create incredible detail, as though these jewels have been painted by a fine artist.
