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!

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.

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!

These emeralds are delicious. Large, chunky, and very gorgeously green. Just where are you every going to find a pair of earrings with this many carats of emeralds? When I got them, it was tempting to make a necklace, but I decided on a pair of earrings and a bracelet. Stunning, and fun!
