Inspiration for pieces explained: Multi Coloured Sapphire Earrings

 

I bought a strand of multi-coloured sapphires with actually very few blue ones on it. I decided to match up a few of the colours to make a multi-coloured pair. It's unusual, and a great talking point as they are all sapphires and illustrate the range of colours beautifully. It looks lovely, and I know I can't make them again, not unless I come across such a wonderful strand of gems again!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Elizabethan Amethyst and Pearl Earrings

    

The amethysts I bought for a commission piece of a bracelet. I had a few left over, but due to the holes, wasn't sure of how to use them, they work well in a double-stranded bracelet. However, flicking through a book, I came across a similar looking Elizabethan design, and realised just how I could use these pretty stones. I'm very proud of the final product.

Inspiration for pieces explained: White Opal Earrings

Inspiration for pieces explained: Hawk's Eye Necklace and Earrings Set

Hawk's eye is one of those unusual stones you don't see too often. It has a lovely chatoyancy (like silk) in a grey-blue that makes a stunning statement. I wanted the set to be as simple as possible, and devised a new form of setting to stop the stones rocking.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pyrite Drop Earrings

    

I love these mini-pyrite squares. I didn't want them to loose their shapes, by stacking them, for example, but neither did just one look right. So I layered them up, to a stunning effect. Good job I didn't go for the large size of gem, pyrite is very heavy! These are just the perfect weight though.

Solar quartz are just stunning. Made from slices cut from stalactites, it has such a snowy, striking look that I wanted to make sure as much of the stone was visible as possible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Ruby 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 rubies and really emphasises them to the max. I went for these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me to create a different look. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pink Coral Rose Earrings

These rose beads are just so delicately carved I wanted them to be shown with no clutter or frills. I wound the pin around the back of the bead to prevent the bead from slipping around, and making sure the rose is always visible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Printed Hearts and Garnet Earrings

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Beady Bead Earrings

    
I'm always looking for something different, so when I discovered the joys of making a 'beady bead' (a big bead made from smaller beads), I just had to give it a go. I adore this technique because you get a delicate, lacy effect in the large bead, with detail from the smaller ones. I used solid silver wire to create these, I didn't want to spoil the piece by using anything else.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Emerald Bracelet

    


These emeralds are delicious. Large, chunky, and very gorgeously green. Just where are you every going to find a bracelet with this many carats of emeralds? When I got them, it was tempting to make a necklace, but I decided on a bracelet because it would be just so unusual. The stones have wonderful faceting on the edges, so setting them that way allowed the facets to really shine. This setting also has the advantage of allowing you to view the whole stone. Stunning, and fun!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Graduated Sapphire Necklace

    

I adore sapphires, and being fortunate enough to work with them, I wanted to create something really special. As sapphires come in a massive range of colours, and the stones I own had a large range in the blues, I decided to graduate the blue to accentuate the beauty of the stones. 

I also made a pair of ruby earrings in this way for myself, but they lack the colour range, and I have to say this is far lovelier!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Fossil Bracelet

    

Fossil jasper is one of natures wonders. It actually contains fossilised creatures (usually coral), but also has colour and beauty of its own. Now I admit to making a grave error when I bought these stones, I didn't check the size, so my pairs of earrings I was expecting to make were suddenly gone, the stones were too small! 

However, I realised I could make a necklace, so started to plan it out... realising very quickly that they would make a far better bracelet. After all, what better than to be able to stare at these gorgeous little gems in detail? On the neck you'd never get to know them! 

In the end it was a happy accident, and I'm still trying to persuade myself not to sell the piece!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Butterfly Necklace

My favourite thing at the moment is to sculpt with wire and gemstones. There is nothing lovelier than the idea of someone wearing a sculpture by you! So I decided to create a butterfly. I wanted it to be as real as I could get, reproducing the actual design of a British butterfly. 

However, as I started on this peacock butterfly, I realised that there was too much detail in a butterflies wing for me to be able to capture, the tiny stones I work with were too large! So instead I went for a close approximation, and I think that by sticking with the colour scheme I did the right thing, the butterfly looks almost real!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Green Leaf Necklace

I found the vintage mother-of-pearl leaves at a Vintage Fair on a disintegrating necklace. I had to have them! I paired them with the peridot because it is such a living, green colour. I love the set so much I made another just for me!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Frothy Three Silver Necklace

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

Inspiration for pieces explained: Fool's Gold Bracelet

I love fool's gold as it's such a wonderful colour, not the garish colour of gold, but a softer, antique version. I bought these square stones with the mission to make this bracelet, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The gold and silver go so well.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Pearl Bracelet

I adore the richness of red garnet and the creamy white of pearls. Adding them together is just a dream combination for me, and the flat, round shape of the garnets frames each pearl beautifully.
