Inspiration for pieces explained

Purple Dream Bracelet    

   

I love amethyst, and when I found these perfect purple beads I wanted to pair them up with a rock crystal. I also added a tiny glass bead to each bead, they have a silver coating inside and add extra shimmer to this pretty piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Silver Link and Vintage Glass Necklace and Bracelet   






I found the glass beads in my great-grandfather's garage. I'm not sure where he got them from, but I assume they belonged to my great-grandmother. 

I wanted to show them off, so decided to mount them simply in silver.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Egyptian Night Bracelet    





   


I love lapis lazuli, and this piece was a bit of an accident. Originally I wanted just the stone without the bottom bead, however the drilled holes turned out to be fractionally too large. 

As I was searching for a solution, I tried a tiny bead at the bottom, and was immediately struck by how it framed the lapis, and added to the overall rich feel of the piece. 

Still a favourite!

This piece is  available at the Harrison Lord Gallery in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
