Peruvian Amazonite Sterling Silver Earrings - I love the effortless design of these, giving a lovely pop of colour. I have a feeling there'll be more in a few different colour ways coming soon. What colour would you choose? For me it would bright pink right now. Sometimes the simplest of designs create the biggest impact 🤎

I don't make New Year resolutions. I haven't done for a good few years now. I don't find them very helpful. I don't stick to them and then end up feeling deflated and a failure. What I find helpful is finding a word for the year. A word that I can use to help me get through all the different situations I'll face throughout the year. I'm choosing the word 'courage' for 2023. The fears have been huge and constant this past year. Things I would have previously brushed off have been a struggle which I've found really frustrating. I've noticed I put too much pressure on myself to make the right decisions. So I've started giving myself permission to just make a decision whether it ends up being good or bad. If it's bad, I know the sky won't fall in and the world won't end. It's not worth living constantly feeling the fear, frozen not knowing which way to turn or what to do. So courage it is. Feel the fear and do it anyway! 🤎

I was scrolling through photos today when I came across this one of a stunning brooch. I made this 10 years+ ago. In fact I made about 20 of them, all with different coloured beads, no two exactly the same. They were wedding favours I made for a dear friend along with cufflinks. It reminded me how much I enjoy creating. I love coming across photos of items I've made over the year's. I'm always oddly surprised when I see them as have often forgotten about them. The design for these brooches were taken from the Linda Jones jewellery making books; the maker/designer who inspired me to start making bead and wire jewellery 🤎

A gift made for an absolutely amazing friend a couple of week's back. I'd just finished stringing it when I took this photo which was early evening and not the best time to photograph designs. The bracelet wasn't quite complete at the time of taking the photo as it still had cord attached that needs removing. I just couldn't wait to photograph it. I love making wrapped bracelets. They create a lovely layered look worn on their own but also look amazing teamed with other bracelets or cuffs. A stunning 12 wrap design (depends on the size of the wrist) incorporating light amethyst, grey, and silver galvanised seed beads, complimented with handmade glass spacer beads designed and made by the very talented and beautiful Juliette Mullett Avette - Lampwork Glass Beads By Juliette. What I love about wrapped designs is you can also wear them as a long single strand necklace or double it up for a more striking affect. 😍

Beautiful Red Poppies
I love these poppies that grow every year in our front garden. This one is the first to open and was a lovely sight to come home to yesterday. Their flowers are big, bold and a vibrant. They are simply stunning! ❤

Morning everyone! This message has been a long time coming and I apologise up front for its a long one. It maybe a while before I post again, I just don't know. The last couple of years have been a rollercoaster ride. My husband past away in January this year. As you can imagine my life and that of our families turned upside down. He was the heart and soul of our lives, always giving, always caring, always funny. His absence leaves a gapping hole. He is missed and loved so very much and always will be. He brought so much happiness to our lives and we all have our own fond memories of him to cherish forever. The devastation of losing my life partner, my greatest support and my biggest love incredibly overwhelming. He tried not to show much interest in my jewellery creations, and when I'd excitedly show him a finished item he would often say 'it's just jewellery' but he was always the first to like my posts, to tell me when a photographed piece I'd posted looked great. His quiet and unassuming encouragement was a big lift to me. I knew that when he acknowledged his approval in anything I made or did I was onto something good. I would feel so uplifted, knowing the time I'd spent at my bench had been worth every minute, every doubt, every bit of pain from hammering a finger by mistake or stabbing a finger with a beading needle, or getting frustrated when a design just wasn't working out. It's early days into navigating my way through this new chapter of my life. A few months ago picking up my tools or just sitting at the bench seemed completely impossible. I just couldn't imagine sitting in the workshop knowing he would never pop his head round the door to check if I was ok, if I wanted a coffee or just come in for a chat or to tell me one of his crazy jokes, or hearing my phone ping next to me with another one of his snapchat videos. He was hilarious. One of a kind. It's still something I'm not ready to do, and that's be in that room. Over the last month I have been thinking more and more of picking up on unfinished designs or just having a try at creating something. I did it, I actually managed it but couldn't sit in my jewellery making space, so found supplies needed and sat at the dining room table instead. It felt great to be making something. Having an idea, planning out colours and just doing it. It felt so great. Taking that little leap, breaking it all down into baby steps gave a result and built confidence. For those that know me well and understand my passion for creating/making things (not just jewellery, but all sorts of things) and my love of gifting hasn't got lost, or faded away it's found it's way back. I've also restarted baking, something I really enjoy. There's only so many biscuits, cakes and cheesecakes one can eat. I lovingly share them, honest I do! It brings me so much pleasure to do so. A little thank you as I've had tremendous support from my family and friends. It's been incredible how many people have stepped forward and said 'I'm here and I'm not going away' even people that I didn't know well, if at all. I have made new connections, found new friendships, trying out new things. It's been a tough road and it will continue to be so but they're all helping get me through my emotional turmoil of grief and loss. I know I couldn't make it through without all of the amazing, kind and caring people in my life. I don't know what the future will bring with Beau Sautoir. Its always just been there, waiting to be nurtured and pushed in the right direction but life just hasn't really allowed it to in the way I wanted or I've not felt I had the energy on top of everything else that was happening in our life. Right now, I'm taking each day as it comes. I'm trying as much as possible to live life in the present not worry too much about the future as this causes way too much anxiety. My passion for jewellery making is still there and growing. Let's see what happens. I can't make any promises on how things will go. I have a want and I have a passion to make jewellery but right now thats all i can say. I'm so grateful to all of you who have stayed and continue to follow my page and journey and for all your lovely comments on past posts. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I wish you much love to you and yours ❤

About Us

Hello, my name is Anita Brennan and I am the designer and maker for Beau Sautoir. I pretty much love all things handmade and always have done. I belong to a family of creative and talented individuals so feel privileged to have also been given the creative gene. My biggest passion is making handmade jewellery. I enjoy creating unique pieces which I lovingly make in my workshop in beautiful and picturesque Pembrokeshire, UK. My love for jewellery making started around 12 years ago with a beading kit I received as a gift. Little did I know that this would kick start a new found hobby, which would later turn into a dream of running a jewellery business. Over the years I have developed my skills by reading jewellery making books by various designers, watching YouTube videos and by trial and error all helping to towards my joy for making one off pieces using different methods and different types of beads. My favourite makes are long beaded necklaces that can be layered or worn as a stand out piece to enhance your own unique style. This gave me the idea for Beau Sautoir, French for beautiful long necklace. I have no ties to France but loved the word "Sautoir" which I came across in a jewellery dictionary; just one of the many tools I utilised to find a business name. I have to admit it took a painstakingly long time to choose a name that resonated with me and in all honesty it was no easy task. Unfortunately, I couldn't just stick with "Sautoir" as it was already out there and I really wanted something unique. Feeling a little defeated, a very good friend of mine came to the rescue with an add on of "Beau" meaning "beautiful" and I just fell in love with the idea. So was born “Beau Sautoir”. Of course, a business name was just the beginning of the process and I cannot lie, it has felt completely daunting. However, I am truly excited to kick off the journey of setting up, learning, creating, testing the waters and running Beau Sautoir. My aim is to set up an online store and I will be keeping everyone posted of the launch date here on Facebook as well as other Social Media platforms.

If you've managed to stick with reading this very long winded story, I take my hat off to you and thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.
