Top Hat Jewellery
“Tophat Jewellery” was established, by Tony and Helen, 10 years ago mainly making items from haematite semi-precious stones. Haematite is a mineral consisting of iron oxide which is mined and polished to give a black lustre finish. The black beads can then be electroplated to give various colour effects. The most popular is the rainbow effect. These beads are then used with various other beads to produce a range of varied and affordable jewellery.
Over the years the range has grown and now includes items which are hand enamelled here in Yorkshire. They also have a range of birthstone crystal jewellery enhanced with Swarovski crystals.
Prices range from £5 to £20 and can be purchased from their website www.tophatjewellery.com and clicking the link to their retail website from the home page.

His paintings are inspired by the land and sea of the Yorkshire county.
Views of coastal seaside towns and harbour villages, rustic rural settings with nature in all it’s glory are all influences for his paintings.
Exploring the Yorkshire countryside or by the sea he collects ideas capturing the essence of that particular landscape in light, colour and composition, then returning to the Studio inspired by what he has seen ideas are sketched out ready for painting.
Sea Jewels
Katrina Cunningham collects Sea Glass from the North sea coast and incorporate it into bespoke hand crafted silver jewellery.
Some of the sea glass is over 100 years old and is a result of a very famous glass factory pouring its waste glass into the sea at the end of the day, resulting in some pieces having multiple colours running through it.
Each piece is as individual as the Sea Glass set into it, no two pieces are alike.
Discover Katrina's beautiful work at her Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/Seaglassjewelsuk or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pg/northseagems
Martin’s website is a showcase for his talent in painting, offering two painting mediums of acrylic on box canvas, and pen and watercolour. His subjects are always based upon the county of Yorkshire and sometimes adds something to the painting to make you smile.
