Catspaw Jewellery: Sue Cresswell

Hand-made and Vintage Jewellery

I've always had an interest in jewellery, and collecting vintage items, particularly Art Deco, Edwardian and Victorian brooches and necklaces. My handmade jewellery is based on the Art Deco style for many of the pieces, although not exclusively.I use original and one-of-a-kind hand-torched glass beads, many being organic and earthy in nature and texture. I also use bright colours reminiscent of the 30's and 40's.

In the pieces I design, I use freshwater pearls, semi-precious gemstones, sterling or Bali silver, gold vermeil and one-off lamp-worked glass. I also re-work vintage items using the original beads. I am based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
