A few new bits. Probably a bit too pretty, but I'm hoping some people will like them.

I LOVE all of them but my favourite 2 are the cufflinks and the Helford pendant (gorgeous)
I know what you mean about pretty but go gentle on yourself, you can't hit every target market with one range...
My mum, Aunty and cousin would all love those (my stuffs generally too big n bold for them).
Love the colours you've used as well :<3:

Nice one! :Y:

Carole, they are beautiful. Remind me of fairies, dragon flies wings and delicate lace.

Hi carol i think these are stunning. i haven't enamelled on silver before but i've done it on copper. Do you counterenamel the backs? Do you use silver flux first , and are these enamels different to the copper ones? I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm just learning

Thanks very much. Glad you like them.

Jille, they're on 1.3 silver so I don't counterenamel, though it can still be a bit dodgy at times. The enamels I use are mostly Soyer transparent enamels which can also be used on copper, though you probably use opaque enamels. I stick with colours I know will work on sterling - mostly blues and greens, which happen to be my favourites anyway.

Those are lovely Carole. I particularly like the first one, because it is an unusual shape.

Lovely stuff! I did a day course in enamelling and adored it... (sadly funds don't allow to much else) know I am not up to that standard though!

Gorgeous colours, as you say, they work well with silver and your designs. Love the Helford pendant and the last pendant especially.
