Attention all magpies, and welcome to the Brilliant Aether Blog! Keep your beady eye trained here if you want to keep up to date on hand made jewellery and accessories in the shop, or check out the things that inspire me day to day.

I make one of a kind statement and fantasy jewellery from old, unloved discarded objects, beautiful glass beads, faded and torn and scorched fabrics, tarnished metal and anything else that inspires my imagination. And my imagination is inspired by a great many things, including…

Steampunk, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dr Who. The Larklight trilogy and Mortal Engines books… well let’s just make that anything written by Philip Reeve.  Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Charles Darwin. Proper original old punk rock. Victorian lady explorers. Rusty metal, frayed lace and faded velvet. Insects. Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Georges Méliès and JG Ballard. Boarded up buildings. Junk shops. Mad scientists, retrofuturism and the Large Hadron Collider.
