Billy and Bobs

Billy and Bobs Welcome back to Billy & Bobs! The home of unique, handmade jewellery created in Oakham, Rutland. Hi everyone! It's jewellery to 'Di' for!

My name is Diane, and this is my new page for Billy and Bobs. For those who are new here, I make beautiful and unique items of jewellery. I am a lover of all things vintage and upcycled, which has been a massive source of inspiration for my work. Starting out as a hobby, my jewellery features a range of materials including vintage glass beads; old vintage wrapping paper, embroidery, magazines, and postcards; sea glass and tiles from the shores of Croatia; sea shells from Australia; dried flowers; as well as embroidery. Billy and Bobs is named for my old cat, Billy Bobs, who sadly passed away in 2021. He was a big fan of my hobby and enjoyed playing with all the cords and other accessories, and just generally getting in the way - like most cats! You can find my items online by searching for us on Etsy, or in store at either the Eco Emporium or the Rutland County Museum Gift Shop, both found in Oakham, Rutland.

Just a few of the lovely items I've been making and are for sale in Creative Collective Melton Mowbray.
