Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Carved Earrings

     

I adore these stones, they have such a lot of detail! The stones were difficult to mount as the holes went top to bottom, but as they detail runs around the sides, it was easy to create them as earrings with multi-dimensional views!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Long Necklace

       

I love tear-drop beads, and these garnet ones are very unusual as the bead is flat, giving a lot of reflection off the large facet. I decided to string them onto a long necklace as I felt it would be a flexible piece, but would also make it magnificent. It worked so much better than I had hoped!
