My jewellery ...

Hello. Today I am going to talk about one of my hobbies  - making jewellery. Hand-made jewellery became very popular a few years ago. Many girls and women started to get interested in this handicraft. They looked for good online shops, tried to figure out the techniques used for making earrings      or necklaces (which is not easy sometimes ;), finally wore their masterworks or sold them to their friends and family members.
Here are some photos of my pieces of jewellery:
