Bespoke Sparkle & Their Stories 💖
Sometimes a piece begins with a broken necklace, a forgotten charm or a handful of beads waiting patiently in my stash. Sometimes it begins with a customer saying, “Could you make me something in purple?” or “I’d love a star if you happen to have one.”
That’s where bespoke Love to Sparkle pieces begin.
Rather than ordering brand-new components to recreate a fixed design, I work with reclaimed jewellery, rescued beads and materials already waiting to be given another chance to shine. You can tell me the colours, style or type of piece you have in mind, along with any practical requirements, and I’ll see what treasures I can find to bring your idea to life.
Because reclaimed components are unique and availability varies, no two bespoke pieces will ever be quite the same. That’s part of their charm. A forgotten bead from one broken necklace might find itself beside a tiny charm rescued from another, creating something completely new for its next owner.
This page is a little gallery of those pieces and the stories behind them — what was requested, what was discovered in the stash, and how those rescued treasures found their way into something made especially for someone.
Bespoke pieces. New stories. Forgotten treasures given another chance to sparkle.
"I would like a purple anklet with a little star"
A Little Purple Star
Sometimes a bespoke piece begins with the simplest of wishes.
A customer who loved the reclaimed ethos behind Love to Sparkle asked if I could create a stretchy anklet in shades of purple, with a star incorporated if possible.
A rummage through my rescued jewellery stash uncovered a beautiful collection of faceted purple glass beads from an old, broken necklace, and tiny little hematite beads from my craft stash. They were perfect for the design — but there was still that little matter of the star.
And then I found it.
Tucked amongst my reclaimed components was a tiny star charm, almost as though it had been waiting for exactly this piece.
The finished anklet combines those rescued purple glass beads, and waiting hematite beads with a comfortable stretch design and that little reclaimed star — bringing pieces from the past and present together, to create something completely personal for their new owner.
A bespoke piece, a new story, and another handful of forgotten treasures given the chance to sparkle again. 💜⭐
