Rachel Lucie Jewellery Designs is going to be taking jewellery collections to the BCTF for the second time, this year, and there has been a hive of activity getting ready for the show. The BCTF is the British Craft Trade Fair, which will be running from the 15th to 17th April this year.

Find me on stand 207!

I have been designing new jewellery which will be launched online soon after the show....watch this space! I'm really excited about these new handmade designs, and I hope you will like them too! Join my mailing list for updates!

Here's a little sneak preview of a new necklace used in my trade show literature:

See you soon!

I might be biased, but I don't think there can be a better message of love than giving handmade silver jewellery, the perfect gift for your Valentine...You know you are buying something unique, decadent and colourful which has been designed and created by hand just for the person you love.

Happily Ever After Necklace

I've put together a selection my jewellery to give you some ideas. Called Be My Valentine I took the romantic heart shape for inspiration, or instead you could look at any of my handmade jewellery made with pearls

Victorian Sweetheart Charm Bracelet

Not everyone loves pearls or hearts, of course. Your loved one might prefer something a little less obvious, or it might be for a beloved friend or relative, in which case, take a look at the Jewellery Collections, or Best Selling Jewellery for more ideas.

Vasilisa Bracelet

You could always opt for a Rachel Lucie Gift Certificate, instead, great for when you just can't decide!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have a new look!

It was time for a change, and so we are implementing a new look across the site, I hope you like it. Please bear with us if you find anything missing or not where it should be, we are working hard to get this up and running as soon as possible. Our new look includes lots of features that enable you to find your way around more easily, and share my handmade designs with your friends.

You will also now find, that along with being able to set up an account (although you don't have to), you can now pay directly with your credit card as well as through Paypal.

All products and the really important stuff (the jewellery!) should be back to normal. Please do contact me if you find anything amiss.

I'm looking forward to sharing some new designs with you soon.

Thank you!

It's been my best year ever with great sales all through Christmas, right to the last minute and I have enjoyed every minute of it!

I love sharing people's stories as they choose the special gifts they will give their loved ones, the new jewellery ideas they come up with, and the wonderful feedback I've also received. I really couldn't have dreamed of such a successful year!

It just shows that despite the doom and gloom in the media about the economy, that people have been choosing carefully the gifts they give this winter. Maybe with a tighter budget, this year, but making up for quantity by choosing quality and uniqueness.

I will be having a well-earned rest with my family over the Christmas period, please continue to order or contact me as normal, but bear in mind that next posting date will be Wednesday 4th January.

It just remains for my to say a big thank you to all of you who have bought Rachel Lucie jewellery this year, have a fantastic Christmas!

It's getting nearer and nearer, not matter what we do. Hope you're getting sorted for you all your Christmas presents, I have yet to start mine in earnest *tries not to panic*

Here are the last postage dates from Royal Mail this Christmas, please bear this in mind when placing an order with Rachel Lucie Jewellery Designs.

As you can see, the last date for South & Central America, New Zealand, Far East and Japan etc has already  passed. For US customers TOMORROW is the last posting date, and for European Customers MONDAY is the last day.

Obviously these dates are not a guarantee of Christmas arrival, just as some people order after these dates and still do manage to get their parcels - Royal Mail is beyond my control!

Happy Shopping!

You'll find my earrings in a feature called 'All She Wants for Christmas', now there's a hint if ever I saw one!

I just couldn't resist these gorgeous agate beads, they have a rather 'otherworldly' and mysterious look about them, perfect for Halloween, and the coming darker months as they seem to have an inner glow. 

This first pair were snapped up before I got them onto the website, but don't worry, I have more!

Ghost Earrings are available to buy here 

Perfect for spooky events this Autumn!

What jewellery collection inspired by traditional tales could leave out Little Red?! Here is a new handmade jewellery design that forms part of my Folklore Collection, Little Red Riding Hood which you can buy either as earrings or necklace - or both, of course!

I have used gorgeous tiny ruby beads with a distinctive shaped silver link and wire wrapping, the design reminds me some folk art designs and the rich colours of the rubies are great to warm you up this Autumn / Winter.

Be careful on the way to Grandma's house .....

You can find them here:
