I wanted to make some romantic earrings for Valentine's Day, and as I've been moving in a very sculptural direction with my jewellery, decided that garnets pavé set with a woven silver frame was the way to go!
I'm very pleased with these as the red is so striking and sparkly. The setting allows maximum light to get to the stones, so you see all that glorious colour.

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!
