Carol Atherton-Hoy and Sue Haanstra
We are sisters who have a passion for jewellery. Inspired by our origins in the far-east, we draw on the lush colour and textures we grew up with. Our fascination has continued to grow as we explore the vast variety of beads produced worldwide.
Carol, the younger sister has a colourful and extrovert approach to life which is reflected in the unusual way she combines beads. She loves wearing and designing jewellery from the very simple and understated to the bold and unusual.
"When I grasp a handful of beads I enjoy the tactile and visual impact. The experience taps into my soul, enhancing my emotional wellbeing" - Carol
Sue, the more pragmatic of the two has a passion for glass and silver jewellery. She loves researching jewellery design and creating bespoke pieces for special occasions.
"There is always something new to explore, be it the stunning colours in nature, the seaside, mountains, birds and trees or the many ways we have adorned ourselves from the beginning of human time. All of these sources inspire me when I am designing jewellery." - Sue
We produce quality and original pieces and are constantly researching and sourcing new materials from all over the world.
Our aim is to produce high-quality, affordable jewellery and to provide a reliable, accessible and friendly service. We are committed to delivering your orders efficiently. You can contact us by e-mail, phone, Facebook, Twitter or Skype.

Carol and Sue.
