Welcome to Belinda Ashton Jewellery
Do you share my love of colour, beads and jewellery? If so, I’m sure you will find something you like here. My designs are bold, simple and stylish and I hope you have fun wearing them. I love using colour and graphic designs and particularly like the work of the artist Bridget Riley.
I make my own beads using polymer clay, so you can be sure each piece is something unique. I like to make jewellery you can buy for yourself without feeling guilty. I don’t use precious metals or gemstones to keep my work affordable, however I can make items with sterling silver or hypoallergenic niobium findings by special request.
No two pieces are quite the same. I love to experiment and explore new techniques and colour combinations, so there is often something new to see. If you don’t see exactly what you want on my website, or perhaps you want something to match an outfit, let me know.
I’m only an email away. Contact me at belinda@belindaashton.co.uk and let’s talk.
