My name is Caroline Francis-Henry. I am a fashion jewellery designer, having learnt the trade from my mother who has been a successful silver jewellery designer for 35 years.
Initially
I started making items for friends who were getting married or had a special
occasion coming up and wanted something completely different. As business
grew rapidly I set up Little Gems Designs, and created a unique collection
of sterling silver, hand crafted fashion designer jewellery to sell at local
farmers' markets and craft fairs in Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
The first market stall at Bakewell was really successful
and I established a large customer base. You can see me my range there on
the last Saturday of the month (see Events
Diary).
All my fashion designer jewellery is made with loving care. It
can take two days to make one three stringed set of pearls, and one day to
produce a silver torque, which is used to set off the dramatic effects of
my beautiful pendants.
Little Gems will stay small and exclusive to ensure
that customers get what they want; individually hand-crafted,
fashion designer jewellery at affordable prices. This way clients
can build up a lovely collection simply buying one treat each month.
