Design Porn: Claire English

Claire English popped into my life whilst I was watching the telly. She was on the BBC business show High Street Dreams, with Jo Malone. Her jewellery very nearly got snapped up by Selfridges and it's really rather cool. So cool, I thought you'd like to take a look.

These earrings are made from real wishbones. Which would be a little bit creepy, if they weren't so darn pretty.

This bubble necklace actually comes with bubble liquid! I need this immediately.

Leaves cast in silver make for very pretty jewellery. Who knew?

I love Claire's pieces, and hopefully they'll be snapped up by someone on the high street very soon. Each item wavers around the £200 mark, so they're not cheap. But if you're looking for something extra special, they're worth the pennies.

    The bubble necklace is immensely cool but the wishbone necklace is creepy.

    Her jewellery is beautiful!
    oh yeah, just to clarify, its not actually a real wish bone, its just 'cast' from a wish bone to get the shape then made of silver etc : ) lol

    Hello! So glad to see you like my jewellery. Thank you. I went back to Selfridges just after the show aired and ..... They loved my Bubbles necklace and placed an order for twenty seven to sell at Selfridges Online.
