Inspiration for pieces explained: Purple Haze Bracelet and earrings

I found these delightful Tanzanite beads through a supplier, and had to have them. I at once knew that I wanted them in a bracelet, and decided that surrounding them with clear quartz was the best way to go, because of the delicacy of the colour, and I knew that the quartz would help to reflect and enhance the stones. 

I think it ended up really delightful in the end, and the earrings go beautifully. Due to the small quantity of stones I could skimp on the bracelet to make a necklace, but decided not to, I wanted the bracelet to be as generous as possible. 

I also wanted to be generous with the earrings, I could have used clear crystal as a filler, but decided that in this case strength was in numbers, so used all Tanzanite.
