Welcome to Precious Violet!
A bit about me - working from my small studio at home in the village of Grimsargh, on the edge of the beautiful Ribble Valley, I have been creating hand crafted jewellery since 2008. From humble beginnings as a hobby for family gifts, I have now had my work published, both in on - line publications and in Jewelry Affaire. I was also a regular member of the international Earrings Everyday blog team pre-Covid. To see my newest work and join in some fun shows, join my group www.facebook.com/groups/theverynicegroup
I use only the most beautiful components, often with unique artisan beads and metalwork, sourced very carefully. I try to use Fair Trade products wherever I can. I am crazy about colour, and spend hours planning pieces that will emphasise the beauty of the beads I buy, so I hope you like them too. I rarely make the same piece twice; many of the beads I buy are unique, and life's too short, so pieces that are described as OOAK (one of a kind) are guaranteed to be so. I refuse to be pinned down to a particular style of work so you can expect an eclectic collection here!
I enjoy working in close partnership with other local artists; Helen Backhouse, an artist friend working from her studio near Clitheroe, designs in polymer clay and precious metals using moulds made from natural objects in her garden. Her wonderful eye for colour adds much to my designs and we have exhibited joint work in the Platform Gallery in Clitheroe.
Finally, a word about reserves, and custom orders. I don't ask for payment in advance for custom orders, as I like to make sure my customers are happy with the result, but I do expect that they will be purchased promptly when ready. With reserves, I am happy to reserve for a few days or to the end of a month to fit with paydays.

5 out of 5 starsI'd been eyeing these up for a while and been looking for arrow headed earrings for a long time. They are stunning and so unique. Every time I wear them I get compliments. I'm so pleased I treated myself, they are gorgeous. Great customer service and beautifully wrapped(buy as a gift and you won't need to wrap it yourself) and well protected for posting.

5 out of 5 starsA really unusual and unique piece from Previous Violet. Wow! A real stunner. The stones go together beautifully and set off the whale ceramic so well. Reminiscent of the ocean and whales' teeth. Fabulous. Thank you so much Lindsay. 🐋🌊♥️♥️♥️

Owner, Maker, Designer, And Sweeper Up Of Dropped Beads.
Married to a GOM (grumpy old man), what can a girl do but take up a hobby? I named my hobby which flourished into a business after my elder grandaughter Violet (beautiful but a madam). Making beautiful jewellery is now an obsession. Enough said.

How did I arrive here? Well, in 2007, whilst looking for jewellery to match my own mother of the bride outfit and being disappointed by the lack of originality and the poor quality of what was on offer on the high street, I decided to make my own using vintage beads left to me by my own mother, who used to collect and remodel vintage jewellery as a hobby after her retirement. I was seriously bitten by the beading bug! Now retired myself, I have established my business, named for my beautiful elder granddaughter Violet, to bring you the same quality and originality that I was seeking. I don't have a particular style - nor do I want to, as I like to try out new things all the time, source new bead makers and precious metal findings, and I am continually developing. What you will find are gorgeous beads, often unique, hand made by British or worldwide artisan beadmakers, complemented by findings in silver (fair trade wherever possible) copper, vermeil and now beautiful bronze.
If you have any questions at all then please drop me an email.

And if you live within calling distance of Grimsargh, pop in, have a coffee and help design your own (you can choose your own beads - my stash has reached embarrassing proportions!)
