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.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Flourite Delight Earrings     

   

I adore fluorite, and the strange shape of these beads meant they had to be either horizontal or vertical. Vertical wasn't really working for me, too much visible silver would have to arch over the top of the beads, and there was a risk they would tip, but I loved the horizontal, and I think they work really well.
