Inspiration for pieces explained
Clear Star Necklace
Like the amethyst version, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/N22003/Necklace.htm) I wanted this necklace to show off the stones.
However, as I had made the amethyst earrings, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/E22004/Earrings.htm ), I decided to create a necklace that copied the feel.
I tried having the stars on individual chains and seperate from each other, but holding them together I realised they looked so prtty together that I had to go for it.
The circle of silver was designed to both hold the stars and the necklace part as well as be a striking feature.
Overall a sucess.

Inspiration for pieces explained
Spiral Insanity Bracelet
I found these spirals at one of my suppliers, and loved them. It was a case of what to use them for, and originally I thought of a necklace, but seeing a single headpin on one made me realise that they were crying out to be a bracelet.

Inspiration for pieces explained
Amethyst Star Silver Necklace and Earrings
I loved these beads from the moment I saw them. The first piece I created was the necklace, feeling that a simple string of the beads would be more effective than grouping them.
However, for the earrings, I relaised that I could do something similar to the Amethyst Elegant Drop Earrings (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/E22008/Earrings.htm) and have a 'shooting star' effect. I think these both work really well as the necklace sits nicely on the collarbone, and because the earrings dangle, they have a lot of life and interest. In each way, they show off the stones perfectly, and work very well.

Inspiration for pieces explained
Deco Style Necklace
I found the rements of what had once been a lovely Art Deco necklace in an antique store, and immediately snapped it up. I had to take it apart, but the main feature of it was these beads.
Rather than simply restore, I decided that the beads had a beauty of their own, and deserved to be showcased.

Inspiration for pieces explained
Butterfly Delight Bracelet, earrings and necklace
I owned these beads for years before realising that with a pearl, they make the most delightful, summery jewellery!
I played around with the arrangement quite a lot, as I had had the beads for so long it was difficult to find exact matches, so I opted for making do with what I had.
I decided that a single pearl was best, and that several butterflies on the necklace would make it decorative, but not too heavy. The first time I paired a butterfly and a pearl I knew I was onto a winner.
