Local designer developing business

Hampshire-based jewellery designer Vicki Rawles has been putting her time in lockdown to good use updating her website www.pearlescentjewellerydesigns.co.uk

A specialist in beautiful bridal pearls, with many of her customers cancelling their big day due to COVID-19, she's been working on refining and launching her new-look site ready for all the weddings to come.
With more than 20 years in the creative industry Vicki has developed her jewellery-making skills to specialise in bespoke silver pieces including bridal jewellery and accessories combining beautiful freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals. "The pearls I use are not always uniform and have their own original features which makes every piece I design unique," she adds. Inspired by her love of nature her work features organic shapes and textured pieces.
