My jewellery
Yellow citrine earrings
I adore yellow citrine as the colour is so amazingly vivid, and the stones tend to be clear, and of good quality. I found these emerald cut beads, and just had to create earrings out of them. Magnificent!

My jewellery
Blue topaz earrings
These gemstones are just gorgeous, and as I wanted blue topaz earrings, I was delighted to find a matching pair. They work gorgeously with the simple setting.

My jewellery
Two amethyst bracelets with pear-shaped stones
Trying to find matching stones for this necklace
I came across these beads. Unsure of the correct colour match I bought them all, and ended up creating two bracelets. Although I could have mixed the stones, I liked them separate, intending to wear them as individual pieces.
However, I tend to wear them together as they just look so good, and I can never decide between the two.

My jewellery
Bead amethyst strand
I really regret this necklace…that when I was buying these stones I didn't get more. They are very delicately coloured amethysts, with micro-faceting. As a necklace this is one of my favourites, and is usually out, ready to be worn.

My jewellery
Blue topaz bracelet
Blue topaz is my birthstone, so I wanted to create a bracelet. However, it was very difficult to find stones that I really liked, they were too pale, or not very good quality. I stumbled across these pear-shaped stones and instantly loved them.
They were sold strung with the stones graduated, the largest in the centre, but I decided to randomise the stones to give the piece texture.
I love it, it's a fantastic piece to wear.

My jewellery
Charm bracelet
I have always wanted a charm bracelet, but always thought they were a little boring, a plain chain with charms. When I hit upon the idea to add links to the basic chain, I realised that I could make something very special.
Every charm means something to me, and if I was to make it again it would be very different, as I would make it for the individual who commissioned it.

My jewellery
Green Flourite necklace, bracelet, earrings
This is another piece created because of the amazing stones.
This gorgeous green fluorite was crying out to be shown off, so I deliberately kept it simple so the stones could shine. They were also rather large, so it was natural to pair them with a larger chain.

My jewellery
Kyanite earrings, bracelet, necklace
Kyanite is a gorgeous stone, the colour is lovely, and the stripe is just amazing. I wanted a drippy but elegant look as the colour and shape reminded me of water droplets.
The necklace came from having too few of the stones to go over the top, so I experimented with different styles until I came up with this elegant Georgian piece. I put the rest of the stones into a cascading bracelet, which is still one of my favourites today.

My jewellery
Peridot bracelet with leaves
I love this bracelet. I wanted a good peridot bracelet, and decided to make it multi-layered. I love the huge clasp, although it does shrink the size of the bracelet when you are trying to get it on! I also adore the tiny leaves, they give the piece texture.

Garnet bracelet
I love the rich colour of garnet and silver, I think they work well as a combination. I fancied a drippy bracelet, and this one works so well.

Beaded pearl bracelet
This is one of the earliest pieces I made. I love pearls, but I didn't want to go really formal, so I decided on a drippy, jangly version.

My jewellery
Pearl cuff
I wanted an elegant pearl bracelet, as I had made a dangly bracelet previously:
I decided to experiment with a cuff style. This has its problems, to create the multiple layers I had to use multiple stands that do not look very elegant at the clasp, it's fine, but not the best solution. However, I love to wear it.
