I love these mini-pyrite squares. I didn't want them to loose their shapes, by stacking them, for example, but neither did just one look right. So I layered them up, to a stunning effect. Good job I didn't go for the large size of gem, pyrite is very heavy! These are just the perfect weight though.

I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems
available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range,
I
wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum
impact.
This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that
I wanted
to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range.
So, I
decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and
the
refractive qualities, it takes the rubies and really emphasises them to the max. I
went for
these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me to create a different
look.
Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

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.

I wanted a romantic piece, and decided that a heart would fit the bill perfectly. I decided that the shape said it all, but added garnets and silver beads to give the piece texture.

I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. I added the black agates to give a lovely contrast.

These garnets were just crying out to be shown off, so I decided on a lovely, simple setting. Stunning.

I went for these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me as the original stones were very small, and have highly cut edges, making them perhaps uncomfortable to wear in a necklace, but perfect in earrings. I decided to not focus the rubies in one area, either, distributing them evenly with the rock crystal so you get the colour right around the necklace. Stunning, and very exiting!
Next step, diamonds :)

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...

I found these hearts at a supplier, and decided that they would look great with red. Having these hand-cut garnets already, it wasn't too much of a leap to add them together!

I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality
of
them is just stunning, and subtle. Although I have created pieces that insert different
stones
or colours into the piece, I had to make this all black. It is now so glamorous I
think it
would grace any occasion, it has just enough subtly and sparkle to give you an air
of mystery.
And I have a confession to make. 'Dark Night' does refer to the Batman film. Well,
on their
own, these little dark delights look like little bats!
