Inspiration for pieces explained: Elegance Garnet Bracelet and necklace
I found this chain at a supplier, and wanted to make something special with it.
Rather than clutter it up, or even use it unadorned, I found that adding different sized garnets added to the piece in an unexpectedly graceful way.
The tiny spots of colour suit the large chain, and create a delicate piece.
The garnets are lovely as they are all hand-carved, giving them warmth and unusual faceting.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Feather and pearl earrings and necklace
I love the charm that hangs from these pieces, it was described as a leaf, but I couldn't help see them as feathers.
I added a tower of pearls above them because I felt they needed richness without being overwhelmed, and I felt that the pearls gave a 'feathery' feel to the piece. Love them very much!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst Cascading Dangle Earrings
These are stunning earrings. I found these beads, and noticing that they cascade down in size, wanted to make a dangly pair of earrings. I decided that a classic smallest at the top was the most suitable for these earrings.
They lok stunning on, and are lovely to wear! Very glamerous.
