Take a look at this pair of Kit Heath drop earrings made from silver and black mother of pearl.

At a nice size of 38mm x 11mm and are an open oval shape.

As with all our Kit Heath items, these drop earrings come with a lovely cream coloured designer presentation box.

Please note that as black mother of pearl is a natural material, some slight differences in colour can be expected from this picture.

Paua shell comes from the seas around New Zealand and the beautiful green and blue colours are used to great effect in paua shell jewellery.

This butterfly pendant is shaped like a butterfly in silver and inlaid with paua shell.  It comes from the famous designer Kit Heath and while it doesn’t include a chain, one can be ordered at the same time.

All in all, this silver pendant is a pretty piece and certainly a talking point for all butterfly lovers.

Paua shell comes from the sea around New Zealand and its beautiful blues and greens make it ideal for jewellery.  We at Milton Gems have a good selection of paua shell jewellery including the paua shell bangle (as seen to the left).

The bangle has a stirrup catch making it extremely easy to put on - you just slip one end from the stirrup and you can put in or take out your wrist with no fuss.

The designer is Kit Heath - a well respected name in jewellery and the bangle comes in a presentation box making it perfect for a gift.

I’ve just added three more silver charms and all of them certainly go bling!  Studded with clear cubic zirconia stones, they catch the light beautifully.  They are not small (especially the starfish charm which is approx 37mm), the heart charm is roughly 21mm and the snowflake charm is around 17.5mm.

All have a lobster claw so they can be worn on bracelets, necklaces, handbags or whatever you want to clip them on.

Currently we have two pages - charm page 1 and charm page 2 so check them out and have a look at the detail.

Today we’ve added a few new silver charms to our collection.  One that I think will be popular is pictured to the left - they’re initials charms.  You can choose the letter you want and because of the way they’re made (with a lobster claw) they can be attached to a chain to make an initial necklace, or bracelet.  They can even be added, of course, to handbags, zips, mobile phones and the like.  Perfect for giving to someone you love - just don’t forget and send them the wrong letter!

Two other charms we’ve added are shown below - a pair of scissors charm and a flower flip flop charm.  The scissors don’t open (just wanted to put that in) but as with all our charms, they’re incredibly detailed and would be a great gift to give to a hairdresser.  The flip flop is pink and green enamel set in silver and made to remind you of summer days!

I shall be putting more silver charms up tomorrow - I think it might be a heart day in honour of Valentines Day that’s just been.

As promised, I’ve been adding more silver charms to Milton Gems.  Not too many today but I felt in a red mood - all the charms are a nice, bright red colour!

The first one you can see to the left is a five pointed star charm.  As always, with a lobster claw so you can fix it easily.

Below you can see two more charms.  What better way to celebrate summer than with a nice, juicy red strawberry?  Well, I can’t guarantee you the sun and nice weather but we can send you a strawberry charm to remind you of better weather.  And give a symbol of your love with the red heart charm - show someone you care.

Remember - you can see all our charms in our silver charm category here.

Apart from the silver charms that we added yesterday (and we’re going to be adding some more today) we have added some more exciting pieces of silver jewellery.

The necklace to the left is of crystals and silver and it’s on a 17 1/2 inch rubber thong - all in all, an unusual necklace.

We’ve added 2 more new necklaces and can be seen below.

My personal favourite is the 3 colour flower necklace - it’s simple, elegant and effective.  Three different flowers each with a different colour.  The chain is approx 16 inches long and each flower is around 33mm in size and in total the necklace weight about 23grams.

Another necklace with a flower is the bright silver one shown - the silver has a hammered finish which is effective.  The chain is approx 17 1/2 inches and the flower is around 29 mm in size.  Check out the flower necklace here.

All in all, we have some very nice pieces that we’re putting onto Milton Gems Jewellery - you’ll love them, I’m sure.

I’m just in the process of adding a new category to Milton Gems - silver charms.  We have found a fantastic charm supplier who has the most intricate silver charms.  As you can see from the picture to the left, the amount of details is enormous - look at the bootlace and the heel and top of the boot shimmers in the light as well.  Take a closer look at the boot charm and you’ll see what I mean.

I’m in the process of adding the new charms - new ones will be listed daily.  Some of the ones I’ve started with are listed below

It’s a strange business.  You put on pieces of jewellery you really think will do well and it doesn’t fly out the door.  But you put on something that you’re not sure about and people love it - and this silver pearl bunny rabbit belly bar is one of those situations.  It’s nice - it has a silver pearl for a body and silver face, ears and bunny feet.  For hygiene reasons it’s on a 316L surgical steel bar as are all our belly bars.

So - can you give a bunny rabbit a nice home?  Do you fancy some bunny jewellery?  Take a closer look and click on the picture or see more from our range of belly bars.

Having just posted about a dragonfly pendant, I thought I’d put up a page about dragonfly jewellery in general.  They are certainly popular and we are in the process of growing our collection of dragonfly jewellery.

 The picture to the left is of a dragonfly brooch which is silver with a marcasite body and mother of pearl wings.

Take a closer look at the dragonfly brooch here.

 The image to the left is of a dragonfly pendant which has wings of mother of pearl and clear cubic zirconia stones in its body all set in 925 sterling silver.

This is a dragonfly belly bar which is silver and surgical steel (for hygiene).  It has a coloured stone between its wings.

As mentioned earlier, we are actively adding more dragonfly pieces and feedback has been extremely positive.

Dragonfly Jewellery remains popular and some of our most popular jewellery pieces are shaped like dragon flies.  Just like this pendant, in fact.

The dragonfly is set in sterling silver and its two pairs of wings are made from mother of pearl.  Its silver body has clear cubic zirconia stones in it.  In size, the body is approx 23mm (not including the bale) and 31mm wide (wing tip to wing tip).  The total weight is around 2.4 grams.  As with all our pendants, it doesn’t include a chain but the image shows a snake chain which can be ordered from the dragonfly pendant page.

Check out the silver dragonfly pendant in more detail.

This is a pretty gift to give your valentine and it is an ornate silver heart pendant.  It is inlaid with Mother of Pearl and the front is convex with cutout flowers and vines.  The back of this silver pendant is flat and is of Mother of Pearl.

The size of this pendant is approx 20mm x 25mm and weighs in at 5.1 grams.  It is from the popular designer, Kit Heath, and comes in deluxe packaging as standard.

The pendant to the left shows a silver chain but the price doesn’t include one (many people like to use their own chains) but you can choose one if you wish on the product page.

With the big day coming up, this is a perfect piece of Valentine jewellery.

Martin.

The designing team at Kit Heath are famous for making beautiful silver pendants and this example of amethyst jewellery (amethyst is also the february birthstone) certainly shows their skill at making simple and elegant pieces of jewellery.

The twisted silver pendant drops approx 45mm and has an eye at the top for your chain to go through (chain not included, as always).  At the bottom, it has 4 amethyst stones getting progressively smaller the higher they go.

Made of sterling silver and includes a designer presentation box you can also have it giftwrapped for a present.

This is where you can find more of our silver pendants.

Well, we’ve added a dozen belly bars to our body jewellery category now.  All are silver fitted to 316L surgical steel bars so they’re safe to wear unlike cheaper belly bars.  A lot have cubic zirconia stones which really catch the light - if you’re in a club they shine brightly which is always a bonus.

We have two pages of the belly bars at the moment - belly bar page 1 and belly bar page 2.

Just a quick message - I’m in the process of putting on some body jewellery on Milton Gems.  It’s belly bars at the moment to see how it goes but will be more than happy to put up other items when/if requested.

There are some nice ones - we’re going to put up about a dozen belly bars.  I shall make another posting listing items a bit later.

Enjoy the saturday!

I’ve just finished putting up an extra half a dozen silver bangles - feel free to click any of the images below and you will go straight to the page.  Christmas is coming up and bangles make an excellent present - they are substantial, look good wrapped up and a fairly sensible cost for friends.

All the new bangles are of silver without any gemstones - simple says a lot, often, and are certainly stylish.

We have two pages of silver bangles - bangle page 1 and bangle page 2.  Check them out.

The titles of the new items are: Balinese silver bangle, silver figure of eight bangle, simple silver bangle, twisted silver bangle, waved bangle.

Silver jewellery has been popular for thousands of years but it has increased in popularity recently for a number of reasons.  Silver being cheaper than gold, is often used to make more experimental jewellery - with gold jewellery, the cost of the finished pieces means that they need to be sure that the piece will sell in the current market so more conservative/mainstream designs are created.  Silver jewellery is the opposite - which is one of the reasons why the more striking pieces of jewellery are silver.

We at Milton Gems especially love silver jewellery - certainly, we have gold but silver is where our heart is.

So, when you see any jewellery listed on our site - unless it’s specifically in a gold category, it’s silver.  For example, the children’s jewellery is silver as is bridesmaid jewellery and marcasite jewellery is to.

Enjoy the silver - we do!

I was looking at Milton Gems this morning and I realised that we didn’t have a silver bangle category and, to be honest, I didn’t know why.  We have bangles on the site (in bridesmaid jewellery, for example) but not a specific silver bangle category.  So, without further ado, I went about and collected some of our most popular and put them in their own section of the website.

The majority are from the designer Kit Heath and we even have a marcasite bangle which has proven popular with people who like the dark effect with silver.

As always, if there’s a specific type of jewellery you’d like to see on the site, contact us and we will see what we can do.
