Inspiration for pieces explained: Summer Flower Earrings

    


I found the amethyst flowers at a supplier, and immediately bought them without a clear plan of what to do with them. I also bought some carved peridot leaves, but the effect was somewhat underwhelming, I felt it needed something more. So I added these marquise cut peridots. They have the depth of colour and the sparkle to turn these earrings into something really special.

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: Pretty Purple Flower Earrings

              

I love these stones. The flowers are so pretty, and well carved, that I just had to have them as drops. 
 I love them so much, the light shines through them and the quality just shows.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Bright Button Flower Necklace

       

These buttons belonged to my grandmother, and I've always enjoyed their bright colour and lovely design. However, I found them very difficult to set them into jewellery because, being buttons, they have a rear hole. This means that threading through them didn't work, as you wore the piece they turned over, and I didn't want to wrap wire around them. 

As they aren't really something I wanted to add to clothing, I left them in a drawer for years. Then recently I was playing around and discovered a way of mounting them that stopped them from turning. I tried a pair of earrings, but they were just too large, however as a necklace I thought they work perfectly.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Jade and pearl flower earrings

       

These are gorgeous beads that I found at a supplier, and knew I wanted to pair up with pearls. The dangling pearl gives lots of movement to these earrings.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Jade and pearl flower necklace

     

I love these jade flowers, and wanted to give them a lot of dangle from the necklace, and a little extra from the gorgeous pearl sat underneath.
 I also matched the stones either side of the central flower as well as I could, but being a natural product it wasn't totally possible!

Inspiration for pieces explained

Jade and pearl flower choker    


  

I fancied a small choker for these beads, but rather than having a dangle, I decided to turn them sideways to make a change. I also used an unusual trace chain to add to the piece.
