Welcome to my alpaca jewellery collection, inspired by two special real-life alpacas. Morning walks with my friend often involve feeding Crumpet the alpaca. One day, a heavily pregnant Crumpet gave birth to a very cute baby boy who was aptly named Teddy. Sadly Crumpet died of cancer soon after becoming a mother, and Teddy became an orphan. My friend and her daughter then bottle-fed him a few times a day for many months. The silver lining of this was that a close bond was formed with Teddy and his humans, and he became a very tame alpaca. This relationship inspired me to create models of Teddy and Crumpet and to cast them in sterling silver. I had wax figurines made from a photograph of mother and son which became the masters for this jewellery range. Teddy is the master for the alpaca earrings, Crumpet is the master for the pendant necklace. These pieces make the perfect gifts for alpaca fans and nature lovers. Each earring and necklace charm is lovingly handmade from recycled sterling silver in my Derbyshire workshop.
