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!

I owned these beads for years before realising that with a pearl, they make the most delightful, summery jewellery! I played around with the arrangement quite a lot, as I had had the beads for so long it was difficult to find exact matches, so I opted for making do with what I had. I decided that a single pearl was best, and that several butterflies on the necklace would make it decorative, but not too heavy. The first time I paired a butterfly and a pearl I knew I was onto a winner.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pink Chalcedony and Butterfly Necklace

         

I found these butterflies online at the same time I bought the chalcedony, and felt that they made the perfect pair. I did try to make matching earrings, but settled for just the chalcedony as the butterflies were very heavy!
