Inspiration for pieces explained: Shades of Autumn Necklace

      
I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. When I bought them, I actually just bought smokey quartz, which is a lovely, warm brown. 

When they arrived, however, I realised that there was two shades of brown in the multiple strands I had bought. Never one to miss an opportunity, I separated out the stones, and alternated, so you get this wonderful change in colour to add to the soft and sparkle of the stones themselves.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Topaz Star Earrings

        

I adore topaz, and could not pass up the opportunity to own these unusually cut stones. The star cut is very difficult and expensive, so I didn't want to clutter up the stone with additional features, simplicity is best.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst and Aquamarine Drop Earrings

         

There is something about aquamarine and amethyst that just works, the stones zing together delightfully. I just had to pair the two up for these earrings, but as the aquamarines were smaller than the amethysts, I decided to do a reverse triangle, with the largest amethyst at the top. I think they work really well, and are very subtle!
