I adore fluorite, and the strange shape of these beads meant they had to be either horizontal or vertical. Vertical wasn't really working for me, too much visible silver would have to arch over the top of the beads, and there was a risk they would tip, but I loved the horizontal, and I think they work really well.

I found these spirals at one of my suppliers, and loved them. It was a case of what to use them for, and originally I thought of a necklace, but sing a single headpin on one made me realise that they were crying out to be a bracelet.

Like the amethyst version, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22003.htm) I wanted this necklace to show off the stones. However, as I had made the amethyst earrings, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22004.htm ), I decided to create a necklace that copied the feel. I tried having the stars on individual chains and separate from each other, but holding them together I realised they looked so pretty together that I had to go for it. The circle of silver was designed to both hold the stars and the necklace part as well as be a striking feature. Overall a success.
