About Beaupepys

Everything you see on this website is handmade. The website itself is, in fact, also handmade, albeit not by the same individual who makes the jewellery.

I have no formal training in making jewellery; the learning process has been one of trial and error. After nearly half a decade of making pieces fit to be seen in public, I can now locate the sharp end of a beading needle at least eight times out of ten*. On good days, it takes me only half an hour to thread one.

Sometimes people ask me about the meanings of the stones I use; one of the reasons I now make a range of jewellery and accessories from recycled materials is that very few people ascribe mystic purposes to the humble soft drinks can. I cannot promise you that any of my pieces will make you healthier, luckier in love or richer. Unfortunately it's my experience that newly-purchased jewellery inevitably makes the buyer slightly poorer, although purchasing from me will minimise this unpleasant side effect.
