Inspiration for pieces explained: Solar Quartz Set

Solar quartz are just stunning. Made from slices cut from stalactites, it has such a snowy, striking look that I wanted to make sure as much of the stone was visible as possible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pink Coral Rose Earrings

These rose beads are just so delicately carved I wanted them to be shown with no clutter or frills. I wound the pin around the back of the bead to prevent the bead from slipping around, and making sure the rose is always visible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Printed Hearts and Garnet Earrings

    


I love Karen Hill Tribe Silver, and these wonderful beads are a lovely example. Each bead has such a delicate pattern. I wanted to add red, the classic colour of love. So what else, but garnets to top and tail the hearts?

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: 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: 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!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Emerald Feather Pendant

Green and silver are a fresh, interesting combination, so when I found these feather charms I felt I had to add some green to them. I also made a red cord to go with it, I feel the red and green ping off each other, and give this piece a fresh intensity.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Blossom Tree Necklace

    

I created an apple tree necklace, and adored it. I wanted to create another, and as I love blossom in spring, decided to go for an all-white look. Of course this just had to be pearls. The effect is stunning, and I just love it.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Green Leaf Necklace

I found the vintage mother-of-pearl leaves at a Vintage Fair on a disintegrating necklace. I had to have them! I paired them with the peridot because it is such a living, green colour. I love the set so much I made another just for me!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Mother Bird Necklace

I had the idea for this piece after I created my Woven Silver Bird Necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22050.htm). I wanted to create a smaller version, and realised that by creating a nest to go with it, I could make a very unusual piece! 

I wanted agate for the eggs, but found some Mookite instead, which I love. The nest is woven silver, but far more solid than the bird, giving the bird an airy, light look.
