Inspiration for pieces explained: Rock Crystal Bracelet

    

I adore rock crystal, and loved the shape of these. I originally bought them to create a necklace, but after looking at them lined up together, decided that what they really need to be was a bracelet, with multiple rows. Unfortunately with changed plans I had to go out and buy more beads as I was one bead short to complete the bracelet! Hmmm, now that's got me thinking, what about a matching necklace? Could be good...

p.s. And don't forget, we can customise any piece, make it longer, shorter, or change the fitting! Just ask!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Vintage Mother of Pearl and Garnet Bracelet

    
 
I bought a vintage necklace that was mother or pearl beads and a mother of pearl pendant. I decided to re-string the pendant on a contrasting set of beads (note to self, still to do), which left me with a lot of vintage mother of pearl! I thought that a bracelet was the best solution, and to add contrast I used my favourite hand-cut garnets to give richness to the bracelet. 

This one is slightly unusual in that I created an animation to show it being created! You can view the animation below, of see the full thing on YouTube: http://youtu.be/QiMzSQGEEEQ.
