Beach Beads inspired by the British coast

You may think it’s a less than ideal time to head for the beach but a romantic autumn stroll along the wind-swept British coast offers its own romance.

There’s something distinctly lovely about wrapping up warm and walking hand-in-hand along the seashore. The late autumn sunshine can even make it warm enough to dip your toes in the sea.

England’s North Devon coastline offers up a wealth of unexpected inspiration. Whether your nearest beach is a pebble bay or a sandy shore, you can always find little keepsakes washed up on the water’s edge.

British silver jeweller Kit Heath’s latest collection is inspired by the little treasures that we pick up on the beach: pretty pebbles, shiny stones, sea-worn glass and gnarled drift wood. Mementos he amassed on trips to the beaches around Westwood Ho!

There are 50 individual beads in the collection – just a couple strung on a simple silver chain would make an arresting and individual piece that will always remind you of the sea.

Prices start at £15 per bead. Check out www.kitheath.com for more details.
