Suzy Richards

Welcome to Gladrags Jewellery. My name is Suzy Richards and I design and make all of the jewellery you will see on this website.

I must start by saying that I totally love designing and creating jewellery, and feel very lucky that I can do it every day, I hope it shows in the pieces I make. Every item contains not only beautiful, quality components such as Murano glassBeautiful glass beads, most famous in heart shapes, handmade by craftsmen in Venice and lined with Sterling Silver or Gold foil. , fresh water pearls, SwarovskiDaniel Swarovski was an Austrian glass cutter and jeweller who patented a cutting machine to produce and cut lead crystal glass. It is world renowned for its beautiful light-reflecting qualities. crystal and semi-precious stones but also a whole lot of passion. I believe that this is what makes the jewellery I create so unique. I love it and hope you will too.

As jewellery contains small parts it is not recommended for small children. If you give it to small children you do so at your own risk.

To help keep your jewellery in the best possible condition you should protect it from perfume, hairspray, deodorant and any other chemicals which may harm the finish of beads, metal plating, semi precious stones and other findings used. It is also best to keep jewellery in a box or bag away from open air.
