What a unique Christmas Present! - your own family tree in gemstones, from Oban Bay Jewellery A unique piece of handcrafted jewellery makes a lovely gift - and doesn't cost a lot to post if you are sending to a loved one either in this country or abroad. I have added gemstone trees to my usual range of handcrafted gemstone jewellery - see photos of examples on the Lorn community website. I will have some "ready made" on my stall at the Lorn Market and order forms with full list of birthstones are available for personalised trees. If you would like an order form sent out to you just let me know and I'll pop one in the post to you. Come along to the market at Benderloch for some great gift ideas from me and my fellow marketeers!!" check out her facebook shop for more inspiration and to order directly from Catherine. |
