Inspiration for pieces explained: Labrodite Delight Necklace and Earrings Set



These labrodite stones fell into my possession, and I was in love. Never have I seen stones with such labradorescence, it covers the whole surface on both sides. So, I needed a simple setting to show off the quality of these gorgeous stones.

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: Multi-Coloured Quartz Earrings

          
   

I adore these earrings because the colours and cuts of the gems are just so original! Each stone is shaped like a little anvil, but with a soft, frosted interior, and sharp, glistening facets. The colours range from clear to black, giving a lovely depth to these pretty, dangly and flirty earrings.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Autumnal Flower Necklace

         

I love tourmaline, and this is a very fine example. With such a cute, and simple piece, I decided that adding additional stones would take away from the unique nature of the piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Agate Necklace

         

I love agate, and couldn't resist these beads. As they are large, I decided to put them on a solid chain, and make it a long length. This piece can be worn doubled up.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Shades of Autumn Necklace

      
I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. When I bought them, I actually just bought smokey quartz, which is a lovely, warm brown. 

When they arrived, however, I realised that there was two shades of brown in the multiple strands I had bought. Never one to miss an opportunity, I separated out the stones, and alternated, so you get this wonderful change in colour to add to the soft and sparkle of the stones themselves.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Top and Bottom Banded Agate Earrings

      

I adore banded agate, and when I saw these beads I knew they would make the prefect earring. The Victorians loved agate, but they tended to use the blacker stones. I love the contrast in these with the black surrounding the white stripe.
