Inspiration
I really enjoy working with gemstones and crystals and always have a selection near me to provide inspiration. I love the folklore surrounding each stone and have a few favourites, Labradorite being one. I’ve always loved working with copper, especially seeing how the light changes the colours to chestnut and deep rich copper after oxidisation and buffing.
Copper can lose its shine after a while which can be restored with a light buff using a microfibre cloth. Keeping the pendant in the bag provided when not being worn will keep the shine for longer.
Reviews
Iwona makes unusual and beautiful jewellery, and I really love the pendant I bought.

I live in the northern most part of rural mainland Shetland on a croft where I tend native Shetland sheep, goats and chickens. The chickens are for their eggs, the goats are for their milk and the sheep are for their lovely wool, which I process on the croft by hand. My husband hand shears, I wash, dye, spin and weave into colourful scarves, shawls and cowls. All our sheep are lovingly reared and known by name. I have a strong interest in metalwork, particularly copper and silver jewellery and I fashion pins/brooches for my scarves and shawls. I love working with gemstones and have recently begun making resin beads for the pendants that I make in copper and silver wire.
