Inspiration for pieces explained

Pink Chalcedony and Butterfly Necklace    

   

I found these butterflies online at the same time I bought the chalcedony, and felt that they made the perfect pair. 

I did try to make matching earrings, but settled for just the chalcedony as  the butterflies were very heavy!

Inspiration for pieces explained

Jade and pearl flower necklace    

  

I love these jade flowers, and wanted to give them a lot of dangle from the necklace, and a little extra from the gorgeous pearl sat underneath.

I also matched the stones either side of the central flower as well as I could, but being a natural product it wasn't totally possible!

Blue chalcedony necklace    

   

This is inspired by Georgian pieces that are amazingly beautiful. I added 'swags' either side to mirror and frame the long stone.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Jade and pearl flower choker    


  

I fancied a small choker for these beads, but rather than having a dangle, I decided to turn them sideways to make a change. I also used an unusual trace chain to add to the piece.
