Mushroom Earrings

Description

A pair of beautiful silver mushroom earrings inspired by the autumn woodland. Handmade in Market Bosworth.  The approximate dimension of each earring is 1.5cm width and 1.5cm length. Mushroom earrings are whimsical and nature-inspired accessories that bring a touch of forest magic to your style. Each earring features a charming, miniature mushroom, crafted with attention to detail to capture the enchanting beauty of these woodland wonders. The mushroom cap is rounded and slightly textured, with subtle ridges that mimic the natural patterns found on real mushrooms. The cap is made from silver clay which becomes solid silver once finished. These earrings are designed as simple studs, where the mushrooms sit snugly against the earlobe. They are lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, with secure posts or hooks that ensure they stay in place. Mushroom earrings are perfect for those who love nature, fairy tales, or unique, playful jewellery. They add a whimsical touch to any outfit, making them a delightful choice for casual wear or a conversation-starting accessory for special occasions. This jewellery is designed and hand-crafted by Louise in her Market Bosworth Studio. As the jewellery is hand-crafted there may be tiny variances from the image shown.  Louise uses silver clay which, when finished, is 99% pure silver. Each piece comes in a gift box made from recycled materials.

I began my journey into Silver Metal clay whilst running a pottery studio in 2012 and soon became hooked! The magic of turning a piece of clay into a solid piece of Hallmark Silver never fails to amaze me and I love sharing this with my students and helping them create a lovely piece of jewellery that they can wear proudly home makes my job the best. I hold a Higher Diploma in Silver Metal Clay and am a senior metal clay instructor and glass teacher. I have been teaching for over ten years running classes from my studio in Market Bosworth and many jewellery schools and galleries all around the Midlands area. I am a member of The Guild of Jewellers and am on the education committee of the alliance of metal clay. I also hold a Gold student choice award. One of my proudest moments was visiting Tokyo and seeing one of my pieces displayed in the Silver Accessories Exhibition. I would love to meet you on one of my courses so please book as soon as you can. Louise x

FAQs

It is of hallmark standard and if I am selling a piece that weighs over 7.98 grams I have to hallmark it. I have my own hallmark registered with the London Assay Office.

Yes, it is 99% pure solid silver after firing.

I use silver clay, which is pliable, so it can be shaped into many designs that you can create yourself or I can help you with ideas. When you have molded your design in clay, you fire your piece to burn off other substances in the clay to leave a residue of 99% pure silver. You then polish your piece to finish off the process to create an amazing piece of your own unique silver jewellery.

Absolutely. I take every opportunity to look after our special world. I use recyclable packaging and the silver clay itself is made up from recycled material. Components of old mobile phones and out of date hospital x-rays are just examples of material that are recycled into silver clay.

Yes, we have a range of beautiful pieces or contact me if you have a specific request.

Please let me know what you want and I can advise you.

"Did this course with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. There is the perfect balance between being shown how to do things and plenty of time to actually have a go at your own pace. We came away with a set of beginner skills that would allow us to build on the knowledge at home. "

"A wonderful half day spent in Louise's studio, creating beautiful pieces of jewellery using shell moulds, seaglass and metal clay. Louise is a very patient tutor, pitching the instructions to suit 3 generations (and helping us fix the bits we broke!) My 7 year old said "she is very helpful and nice to children and grown ups!" Would thoroughly recommend choosing a course with Louise :-)"

Christopher Spicer reviewed: Silver jewellery taster

"A fantastic taster morning in a lovely location with an excellent tutor. Louise explained everything clearly and concisely, and expertly answered any questions we had. We came away with finished pieces that we're all immensely proud of; more importantly, we left with the knowledge, confidence and desire to try silver clay for ourselves. If you're looking for an addictive new craft to try out, I can't recommend this highly enough."

Louise Anne designs responded:

"Thank you - so glad you enjoyed the course and are rightly proud of your lovely pieces ?"

Angie reviewed: Rose Necklace

"The Silver Rose pendant is beautiful, and came very well presented and packaged. It even had a lovely free little jewellery pouch to store it in once unwrapped. It is approx 5g in weight and complete with the silver snake chain a total Silver weight of approximately 7g. As well as being gorgeous, it is also excellent value. I messaged Louise before ordering as the pictures showed two different chains, a snake chain and a finer looking chain. I preferred the snake chain and was pleased to hear you could choose either! Obviously the pictures are close up to show the detail, so the rose is smaller than it looks on the picture which is to be expected. But it may be helpful to prospective purchasers to add the measurement in the description? But this is in no means a criticism, I am very happy with my purchase and Louise is a pleasure to deal with."

Louise Anne designs responded:

"Thank you Angie- I am so glad you like your pendant. Also, thank you for your feedback it is always helpful as it’s easy to miss detail .Louise ?"

"We had such a wonderful morning learning how to use silver clay. A beautiful craft in a idyllic location. My daughters aged 14 and 11 really enjoyed the session and we’re thrilled with what they could produce in the time. Louise was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She explained everything so clearly and we were able to make some stunning pieces which are totally unique. I loved that we were given a chain so we could wear our creations straight away. Would highly recommend."

"Thank you - so glad you enjoyed it . Hope your lovely Jewellery has been admired ?"

Teresa Wafer reviewed: Silver jewellery taster

"After finding a rare Saturday morning without my 3 year old, I booked myself onto Louise's jewellery course as it’s been on my bucket list for some time. It was a morning well spent with some lovely people. Louise was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the silver. I took away 4 beautiful pieces and could not have been more chuffed with my work! I have many hobbies already but I instantly wanted to add this to my list! It was great and I’d recommend it to anyone!"
