Earth, Fire and Roses

I actually decided to feature UK artist Rachel Dawes because of her jewellery store on Etsy. Then it turned out that she was also making awesome lampwork beads - and even won in the advanced category of the lampwork bead competiotion in Beads and Beyond magazine! The winning set "Neptunes's Carnival", which you see above the text, is a real piece of art.

Rachel's lampwork beads are made with an immense love to detail. I could continue talking and talking about them, forgetting my initial intent to show you her jewellery.
I felt attracted to the "RoseAndRaven" jewellery pieces because they are unusual, playful, romantic and somehow fairytale-like. On top of that, they are full of birds, butterflies, flowers and leaves - what a delight!
