I have just put a link from my
site for you to see Bridal
Headdresses
This is the story so far... In 1991 from Rachel's cottage in a remote
area of South Shropshire, the business started life from a single pair
of poppyhead earrings, embellished to resemble relics from the ancient
world.
The jewellery collection which grew from this used many other found items
from the natural world in a similar way, to create a truly original vision.
Rachel trained in all aspects of fine art between 1983 - 1988 at Shrewsbury,
Cardiff and Wimbledon colleges, experience which allows her to enjoy exploring
many diverse materials and ideas.
At this time she sold exotic costume jewellery to shops and galleries
throughout the UK. The bridal collection which grew out of this in the
mid 1990's was a huge success, even now many 'designers' still use Rachel's
ideas from this time as the basis for their designs!
Stockists have included many leading stores and designers in London,
in addition to a network of high quality outlets throughout the British
Isles, Japan, Canada, Holland, Spain, Portugal and the US including Hollywood.
Today she chooses to specialise in one of a kind pieces which are still
inspired by the natural world and the nostalgia of bygone eras. These
timeless headdresses are considered by many dealers to be antiques of
the future.
Final Checking Before Shipment
"After I have made the pieces I like to be able to sit down and
give them the Final once over"
"You mean the personal touch"
"Yes, you could say that, every piece I make must be perfect and
one of a kind, just like the Bride on her wedding day
