Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Sapphire Earrings

         

I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range, I wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum impact. This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that I wanted to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range. 

So, I decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and the refractive qualities, it takes the sapphires and really emphasises them to the max. I went for these larger rock crystals for a different look. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Black Sparkle Stretchy Bracelet

         

I was given a vintage glass necklace with stunning beads, each contains all the colours of the rainbow. As the overall effect was rather too much, I decided to create a bracelet with black agate and the pretty glass beads. It works really well as the gleaming black grounds and emphasises the rainbow shafts of light that come off the pretty stones.
