Felt Jewellery from the Unexpected Boutique
Felt jewellery and accessories from the Unexpected Boutique - all designed and made by hand from fair trade, real wool felt balls. The felt necklaces and stretchy felt bracelets currently form a small part of the Unexpected Boutique's jewellery collection, but there is a large box of felt beads in the workshop, sitting and waiting for an opportune moment in which to be transformed from a pool of pompoms into chunky pieces of jewellery.
The advantages of felt jewellery are that even the biggest beds don't weigh very much, so you're in no danger of neck-fatigue when wearing one of these necklaces.

Sometimes with chunky jewellery made from big bits of glass, resin or gemstones, by mid-afternoon it can begin to feel as if you're wearing a string of bowling balls rather than a necklace. Felt jewellery to the rescue - you get the chunkiness of eye catching, big jewellery, without the weight.
Another excellent aspect of felt jewellery is that it's warm to touch - no more shiver-inducing mornings putting on a piece of glass bead jewellery that feels like a string of icicles. Have you ever sat at a freezing bus stop wearing a metal necklace or bracelet that you feel getting colder and colder? Not nice. Felt necklaces are like mini-scarves made from tiny pompoms, so for winter they're a great way to wear jewellery without the chill factor.
