Inspiration for pieces explained: Pure Gold, Pure Pearl Bracelet and necklace

    
   

I wanted to work with gold, so decided to get the best pearls possible, and string them onto 9ct gold very simply. I love these pieces as they work so well, and have created my own version!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Rock Crystal and Silver Bracelet

      

I adore rock crystal, and felt that these stones needed to shine individually. As putting them too close together caused the stones to lock, I decided to add a silver bead between them to make sure the stones would have some freedom of movement.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Victorian Jet Necklace

       

This piece was born of desperation, trying to find a way of mounting such a large piece of jet elegantly, and stopping it from twisting outwards. By stringing it between two doubled-up chains I think I managed to find a successful solution.
