Inspiration for pieces explained: Crystal Clear Bracelet

       

I adore the clear beauty of these stones. Rock crystal is such an elegant look, and when I found these I knew I wanted to make a bracelet. I thought that a three-layered approach would be the best, allowing the beads to clatter together, and giving them a presence just one row would not have had.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst Elegant Drop Earrings

      

I found these gorgeous beads at one of my suppliers, and immediately bought up as many as I could. I made a bracelet for myself, which is very intense with the amount of beads, and also a stunning necklace http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Archive.htm

Because the stones were so tiny I realised they would only have impact in a large group, so I decided to use multiple strands of chain, and add the beads on randomly. I was delighted with the result, the stones sparkle very well, and the earrings are both fun and flirty!
