Inspiration for pieces explained: Antique Shamrock Necklace

     

I was heavily into Jet at one point, trading on eBay quite a lot. In two separate auctions these were included, and I was entranced by the delicate carving. It's not been an easy decision to sell these, as I know I won't find them again! 

Because they are genuine one-offs, I couldn't hope to create earrings, and the delicacy of them meant there was no possibility of creating a bracelet. Although I found them in different lots, I decided that they should stay together, and realising that the double-shamrock had double holes that would easily take a chain the design grew from that. 

Other products of my obsession with Jet include: http://www.jewellerydragon.com/B22009.htm and http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22009.htm.
