Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Necklace and Carved Mother of Pearl Pendant

I found the mother of pearl at an antiques shop, and decided it would go perfectly with a garnet necklace. I am so pleased with the result, the creamy mother of pearl goes with the garnets so well.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Graduated Sapphire Necklace

    

I adore sapphires, and being fortunate enough to work with them, I wanted to create something really special. As sapphires come in a massive range of colours, and the stones I own had a large range in the blues, I decided to graduate the blue to accentuate the beauty of the stones. 

I also made a pair of ruby earrings in this way for myself, but they lack the colour range, and I have to say this is far lovelier!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Sunstone Necklace

    

Sunstone is a lesser-known gem that is simply stunning. As each gem contains flecks of copper, I wanted to make sure this necklace had maximum movement to show off the bling!

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: Rock Crystal Swirly Necklace

Inspiration for pieces explained: Give Me Your Heart Necklace

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.

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: Frothy Three Silver Necklace

    
This design was inspired by the Frothy Silver necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22038.htm), and is like a commission piece I made just before Christmas. I loved the idea of graduating beads, it's very elegant, and reminiscent of Indian pieces.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Ruby Necklace

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 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 :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Black Night Necklace

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!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Crimped Silver Bead Necklace

          

   

I adore the silver beads I used in this necklace, they are hand made in India and have such a pretty look! Pairing them with garnet was a no-brainer, the colour just shines out from the necklace.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pentagon Amethyst and Pearl Necklace

    

   

I love amethyst, and adore the cut of these wonderful stones, each being a perfect pentagon. I wanted to create a necklace with these to highlight the graduated stones, but didn't want to use chain, or another stone that was coloured. Using these rich, gorgeous pearls worked so well I wanted to keep it for myself!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Peridot and Pearl Necklace

         

   

I adore peridot as it has such a fresh, clean green. It reminds me of spring, when every leaf is brand new. Putting it with pearls just emphasises the clarity of the colour, making a very fresh, but rich, piece. I wanted to make a luxurious necklace from these stones, and needed to frame them with pearls because I wanted the peridots to really shine. And boy, do they!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Graduated Amethyst Necklace

     

   

When I bought this strand of amethysts I had lots of plans for them, but I just couldn't break up such a wonderful look. the way it softly graduates is just so pretty, and the colour is magnificent. Stunning!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Pearl Necklace

     

I adore the richness of red garnet and the creamy white of pearls. Adding them together is just a dream combination for me, and the flat, round shape of the garnets frames each pearl beautifully.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Glamorous Garnet and Rock Crystal Necklace

    

   

The garnets in this necklace were just crying to be shown off. I had the square profile rock crystals, and though they both mirrored the shape of the garnets, but also brought forward that wonderfully rich, deep red. But how to use them? Side by side the two types of stone locked together and would have left very ugly wire showing if I could get it to bend! However, the simple addition of a silver bead between each garnet means that the necklace is now both flexible, and extra gorgeous!
