I bought a strand of multi-coloured sapphires with actually very few blue ones on it. I decided to match up a few of the colours to make a multi-coloured pair. It's unusual, and a great talking point as they are all sapphires and illustrate the range of colours beautifully. It looks lovely, and I know I can't make them again, not unless I come across such a wonderful strand of gems again!

p.s. And don't forget, I can customise any piece just for you, make it longer, shorter, or change the fitting! Just ask!

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 sapphires 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 sapphires 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 :)
