I’ve been browsing Etsy a lot recently, particularly for jewellery as I feel I am in drastic need of some new pretty things from Etsy. I randomly stumbled across QuercusSilver when I thought her Etsy avatar was rather funky and was very happy to discover that her shop was as bright and lovely as her profile picture. I like to share interesting things I find with my followers and friends on Twitter and as soon as I tweeted the link to Quercus Silver’s shop, I had others telling me that they also loved her shop and products too – the lovely Deepa of Lazy Giraffe who had her Wedding ring made by Quercus, and my crafty friend Abbi of Edwina.Simone who loves her Quercus resin bangles.

The resin bangles and ‘Hewn’ rings are my favourites from Su’s shop – I love the carved faceted surfaces and bright, bold colours! They make me crave jelly sweets – they do look rather edible. Definitely lots of products added to my favourites here! And, I love discovering UK sellers on Etsy – it’s great that more British designers are joining Etsy and it definitely helps the planet to shop local!

Check out Su’s shop on Etsy: QuercusSilver or her homepage.

One of my favourite things to do is browse Etsy, and so often I find things that I’d snap up in an instant…if money was no object. So, if I ever win the lottery (I’d have to buy a ticket first, of course)…

I am the fussiest jewellery buyer/wearer ever, but I love absolutely everything at Original Hardware’s shop! If I was rich, I’d be head-to-toe covered in rustic, gemstone jewellery from Carrie’s shop. Her new spring Bohemian Vintage collection is beautiful, with eclectic charms and glittering gemstone and glass drops *swoon*. I’m also in love with the Green Amethyst Drop necklace, a beautiful everyday piece.

It’s not just the necklaces that are super-amazing – check out the Original Hardware’s Earring range! Lovely knotted wire and such beautiful collections of gemstones hanging from each. And, the stunning stacking rings too…just go check out her shop, you’ll see what I’m talking about

Check out the Original Hardware Etsy Shop or the Original Hardware Website.

I love being a seller on Not On The High Street, and I’ll gladly admit that joining is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made – but, I also love browsing the gorgeous wares as a buyer.

On my old blog, I regularly (and irregularly) featured my favourite finds from Etsy and handmade artisans. I’m hoping now I’m no longer in blogging-limbo now that this new site is officially up and running, to get back into blogging regularly and sharing my favourite finds with you!

The most popular (and my favourite) theme was the Jewellery Finds. So here is the first of hopefully many ‘Jewellery Finds’ posts on the new blog!

The lovely Amy of ThePeachTree is celebrating her 2nd Etsyversary this month and has some great offers including Buy Two Get One Free and an amazing sale section at 40% off! My favourite has to be this Grenadine Beaded Necklace ($101)! I’m sure I’ve seen it several times on the Etsy Front Page and it’s just lovely!

Another of my favourite Jewellery items I’ve discovered on Etsy recently is this very earthy bracelet by BeadsBySam. I love bracelets and especially those I can mix with others. This PEACE bracelet ($24.99) is beautiful and understated. Plus, check out Sam’s shop for other goodies and take advantage of her 15% off discount during January!

From the Etsy Front Page last week I discovered the gorgeous little shop of Dores. It’s full of sweet and simple jewellery with vintage charm and beautiful product photos. Her bracelets would look fab adorned with the Silver Touches bracelets by Beads By Sam above. The piece that caught my eye in particular was this Light wood drop necklace ($34.00). I don’t normally fall for brass or gold coloured jewellery but love this one.
