Here is a selection of the tiaras that have recently sold.
The "Gothic" Tiara was made on commission. It features black wire, hand-woven into a band and Czech glass black AB fire polish beads set onto black wire and constructed into 'fan' shapes. A three-point fan is on each side and a four-point fan as focal point in the centre.
Although I seldom make the same design twice, if you are interested in this tiara please email me and I will be happy to make something similar!
The tiara above was made in a very small size for a petite adult, however larger and smaller sizes are almost always available in bespoke commissions.
Approximate measurements:
Height* - 1.5 inches/3.75 centimetres.
Band size - 11 inches/28 centimetres.
The "Vampire Princess" Tiara is shown above. It was made for a fancy dress party, as a tiara fit for the Bride of Dracula! It features a black wire, hand-woven band and Bohemian glass AB blood red and black fire polish beads casting dark rainbows, which have then been set onto black wire and shaped into flowers and buds. In front of them, 10 brass, hand-enamelled black roses have been attached to the band and black satin ribbon finishes the ends perfectly!
Although this tiara was commissioned for fancy dress, it would have been equally suitable for a gothic wedding or even clubbing! Similar tiaras are available on request, please email for details!
Approximate measurements:
Height* - 2.5 inches/6 centimetres.
Band size - 16 inches/41 centimetres.
The "On The Way To The Church" Tiara
I made the "On The Way To The Church" Tiara for my own marriage vows renewal. I wanted it to be reminiscent of something I could have made on my way to the church, from wild growing flowers and hedgerows. To achieve this, I began with a band hand-woven out of copious strands of very thin gold-plated wire, which itself took many days to complete. This is symbolic of the hay, which was used in medieval times as a basis to make wedding headdresses, when marriages took place after the autumn harvest was stored. Then three large porcelain Capidimonte roses, (one pink one, between two ivory coloured ones) were attached together with two Capidimonte forget-me-nots, surrounding the pink rose and beside each ivory rose, a tiny deep pink matching rosebud, accented with a clear AB Swarovski bead. The design is completed by five deep cream coloured, antique, pear-shaped, faux pearls, three of which form a 'crown' focal point behind the middle rose and one each behind the ivory coloured roses. The whole feel of this tiara is that it is organic, natural and fluid somehow, as it combines the classical design of nature with the twist of a modern porcelain tiara that can be kept forever as keepsake of a very special day!
Approximate measurements:
Height* - 1.5 inches/3.5 centimetres.
Band size - 12 inches/30 centimetres.
I am willing to make a similar tiara upon request, although owing to the nature of the handmade materials, the exact dimensions are likely to vary slightly. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery, as this tiara is particularly labour intensive!
The "Icicle" Tiara lives up to it's name exactly! Many, many rock quartz chips as 'icicles' are 'frozen' on gold tone wire branches which 'grow' out of a gold tone base bound with ivory iridescent ribbon, making it amazingly sparkly and particularly suitable for a winter wedding! If you require that extra 'Snow Queen' look, it can be made with a silver tone base and silver tone or plated wire and bound with silver coloured ribbon or for a totally different look, rose quartz, amethyst, pearls or other semi-precious jewel chips are also available.
Approximate measurements:
Height* - 2.5 inches/6.5 centimetres.
Band size - 15.5 inches/39 centimetres.
Words cannot describe the sheer beauty and sumptuousness of this one of a kind tiara! The "Princess Venezia" Tiara is truly a stunning accessory and only suitable for a bride wanting to make a big statement!!! The design is based around 3 very large, clear Venetian glass heart beads adorned with a single Millefiori (which is Italian for one thousand flowers) daisy at the their centre, the middle one of which is raised slightly higher than the others, to give a focal point and 'peak' to the tiara, set on a gold tone base bound with gold coloured lamé ribbon. These beads are lined with 24k gold foil, which then makes them sparkle with the luxury of pure, translucent gold! Between them are smaller plain Murano hearts, again lined with pure gold. At each end, a single gold orb bead, together with a scattering throughout of gold-plated oval accent beads complete the design, making it fit for a Venetian Princess!
Approximate measurements are:
Height* - 1.5 inches/4centimetres.
Band size - 15.5 inches/39 centimetres.
The "Butterfly House" Tiara was made on bespoke commission. It is an exquisite double woven band construction, which simply means that 2 handmade bands are placed horizontally next to each other and design is supported within the 2. At it's focal point are 3 Tibetan silver butterflies, flanked at each side by carved butterflies of opalite and genuine rose quartz. Adding detail between the gemstone butterflies are ivory, pink and purple freshwater pearls, rose quartz hearts, foil pink and silver balls and hearts and AB bugle beads. The design is completed with a scattering of Swarovski flowers and butterflies in rose, rose AB, light rose AB, lilac and clear AB in various sizes for that extra bit of romantic sparkle!!

The "Venetian Lady" Tiara differs considerably from the other designs I have made with Murano beads. It has a hand-woven, fully adjustable, gold-plated wire base, with branches of gold and rubino Murano glass, freshwater and cultured pearls and oval gold plated beads 'growing' ad hoc. around the 'flowering' rubino heart as the focal point in the middle. This design is very versatile, because the branches can be slightly manipulated to bend upwards or sideways to suit your individual tastes.

As it's focus are three Murano (Venetian) glass daisies lined with Sterling Silver foil in one of each of the following colours: turquoise, sky blue and baby blue, which are set on Sterling Silver wire and spherical baby blue silver-lined Murano beads. The sky blue (middle) daisy, is raised slightly higher than the other two, to act as the focal point of the tiara and stands on a 'plinth' consisting of large and small blue Murano silver-lined beads. The tops of the flowers are also accented with tiny Sterling Silver beads.
