Lampwork Beads & Jewellery







Lampwork is a glass forming technique that uses the process of melting glass rods over an open flame (originally it was the flame of a gas lamp). Once the glass is molten, the Lampwork artist wraps it around a metal rod called a Mandrel. Then with the help of various tools and techniques they further shape and design the glass; often adding other colours of glass to create elaborate decorations.

Lampwork beads shows individuality, time and patience of the maker and gives some amazing results.
Lampwork beads have really become popular over the last five or so years here in Britain and they have had a tremendous following in the United States for well over ten years now. Now with the huge popularity of bead jewellery, many jewellery makers are using more and more lampwork beads in their work. The look of hand crafted beads is second to none and every bead is so unique, giving lampwork a huge advantage over mass produced beads, some of which are even made from plastic.

We have some beautiful lampwork beaded jewellery in our collection so keep a look out for them.

How to choose your jewellery - Necklaces



On average most neck sizes are very similar and so a 16” necklace will fit most. However, if your neck is larger than average, a 16" Necklace might be tight which will just draw attention to your neck, rather than the jewellery so opting to go for a longer necklace is always a good option. Most stores and sites are able to cater for this and offer necklaces in various lengths, a lot offer an 18” as standard so if you’re not sure just ask the length.When you’re choosing a pendant always consider size, how large is the pendant and how low does it fall? Think about the top that you’ll wear it with and make sure the pendant does not fall below the neckline of your top. (You can use a piece of string or an existing necklace to check the lengths). Is the chain adjustable and if so, by how much?

Consider the colour of your jewellery as this is your personal style and colours that suit you. So don’t be swayed by someone saying yes buy this because of the price buy it because it suits you and is right for you.

Above all enjoy the shopping experience and relax, you will enjoy it more.

Happy shopping

Amber Jewellery


Gifts 4 Girls Amber Collection

Amber is a beautiful stone that looks so great when combined with silver. Have you never wondered why most Amber jewellery pieces are usually encased in silver? This is my theory, they look great together, the beautiful warm colour of the Amber combined with the shine and sparkle of high quality silver enhances the qualities of each and makes for some stunning pieces of jewellery.



At Gifts 4 Girls we have just had some gorgeous Amber and Silver Jewellery in stock and they are to die for. Our prices are very competitive once you start comparing our stock with what's available online and in stores. It is our goal to bring you high quality jewellery at a low price, luxury at half the price.

Take a look at the new Amber Collection items start from £8.
