How did it start up?
I’m a journalist and youth worker, so creativity was lurking in my blood, waiting for a suitable outlet. Original Shimmering Designs originated at 30,000ft above the Atlantic before the days of ‘no sharp instruments allowed’ on the plane.
Having forgotten to bring earrings on holiday I decided to buy some beads, some findings, a pair of wire cutters and some bendy pliers. I’ve not looked back, although my days bead-making on the Air Canada flight AC360 are long gone.
I want to provide ethical, beautiful, fun, original cards and jewellery at high street prices, made by my own hand (and not by slave or child labour), and all my profits go to charity.

Welcome to Shimmering Designs!
What is Shimmering Designs?
It is an ethical enterprise
It is an original card-making and jewellery-making business
It does not:
use child labour
import jewellery from other countries
sell anything that is mass produced
sell what the creator (me) has not made herself
Profits go to charity. Last year all profits went to Leukaemia research; this year they will go to MIND.
