Give someone the boot, the Wellington Boot

When you think of handmade jewellery you instantly assume you will be charged an arm and a leg for it. That is not necessarily true with The Wellington Boot-ique.

Fern, the talented mind behind the whole operation, hand crafts each and every piece, composing entirely unique and enchanting designs to titillate the little girl in every one of us grown women. The maximum price I found looking through her collection was £16. On average things range between £5 to £10. Now ladies, this is what you call a bargain!

Having graduated in 2009 with a degree in Dental Technology, Fern decided to stray away from making dentures to producing jewellery. Her interest lies in all things related to crafts.

Take a look at this endearing chunky velvet heart and gold coloured, brass bow necklace entitled Fuzzy Heart. You could easily wear this exciting piece while going out for drinks with your gal pals. The price tag of this item is a very reasonable £9.09.

Having called her business The Wellington Boot, how could Fern not have a wellie amongst her creations? This wonderful pendant called Glastonbury comes with a gold coloured umbrella.

Just for some knowledge, the necklaces and earrings all have a base of antique brass, gunmetal or sterling silver. They contain everything from colourful beads to vintage brass charms and from lockets to funky pendants.

Go back to when you were in school and all you dreamt about was your prince charming. With this antique fairy-tale gold coloured brass pendant Your Carriage Awaits just picture yourself as that princess patiently waiting for that moment. This dream costs £8.12.

Despite being a small online business based in the North West of England, Fern provides a wide range of affordable costume jewellery styles including quirky charms and vintage accessories that are for everyday wear, such as these delightful silver pinecone charm earrings.

The Wellington Boot creations are usually either one off pieces or very limited in number, so you would have to be quick to avoid disappointment! As a special treat, Fern offers shipping to a UK address for only 50p.

If you are looking for perhaps an eye-catcher, try these black and white striped feather earrings called Marabou. Something for the more romantic are these silver Eiffel Tower earrings at a price of £4.87.

You can purchase any of these designs online here. In Fern’s own words: “Do not own anything which you do not deem to be beautiful or know to be practical.”
