The limited editions

As you already read on this blog, all my creations are either unique, or in a limited edition. I am making sure of this fact by purchasing limited quantities of materials and by applying small variations each time I make one piece that is part of a series.

Here is how a limited edition looks like:

Nicole series: 

Sarah series: 

You can see there are variations on the models, so basically, each model is unique.

How do I come to make a series?
I start by creating one model. Sometimes I like it so much, that I decide to make one more, in a different manner. Sometimes a bride likes a model, but she would prefer it with a bit of lace instead of tulle, or with more sparkle, with less sparkle, without pearls, on the other side of the band, etc.
So if you like one model, but would like it differently made, I am glad to talk to you and design one that is perfect for you.

Another thing that you should know:
Because they are unique or in such a limited edition and some of my pieces are in shops around West Cork, you can only get them in that shop, or contact me to get them for you. That is why I created this label “available in store”

So feel free to browse the website and also, feel free to contact me.
