The  unique handcrafted twisted sterling silver wire hearts entwined with semi-precious stones and crystals
led to a wedding commission for  presenter Claire Nasir’s wedding, and for Kate Garraways bridesmaids both made the cover of OK Magazine. Hannah Gillette winner of GMTV interactive wedding commissioned Bo to make a heart for her special day televised in South Africa.
The idea came  when her Father died and  she wanted to create something everlasting and in his memory (as he had a heart condition).

Her heart shape signature symbolises passion, serenity  ……love
