Inspiration for pieces explained: Frothy Three Silver Necklace

        

This design was inspired by the Frothy Silver necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22038.htm), and a commission piece I made. I loved the idea of graduating beads, it's very elegant, and reminiscent of Indian pieces.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Vintage Black Glass Bracelet

             

This is another example of beads I have had for a long time, and tried variations to create the perfect look. I tried the garnets with the black, and was instantly entranced by the dark, rich look. The sparkle you get from the garnets suits the matt black of the glass beads so well.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Chocolate Orange Bracelet

        

This piece was inspired by a vintage bracelet I saw in an antiques shop. I loved the massive slabs of agate, and decided to copy it. The orange agate was the best match I could find, but what a find! I love the pattens on these pieces, they are just so vivid and striking.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Waterfall Bracelet

            

As soon as I got these garnets I knew I wanted to make a thickly gem encrusted bracelet. The colour is so stunning, and put together with the silver the piece really sings.
