The amethysts I bought for a commission piece of a bracelet. I had a few left over, but due to the holes, wasn't sure of how to use them, they work well in a double-stranded bracelet. However, flicking through a book, I came across a similar looking Elizabethan design, and realised just how I could use these pretty stones. I'm very proud of the final product.

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!

I love these white opals, although they don't photograph well, I had to set them to get the maximum out of the fire that sparks off these stones!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. I added the black agates to give a lovely contrast.

I bought a vintage necklace that was mother or pearl beads and a mother of pearl pendant. I decided to re-string the pendant on a contrasting set of beads (note to self, still to do), which left me with a lot of vintage mother of pearl! I thought that a bracelet was the best solution, and to add contrast I used my favourite hand-cut garnets to give richness to the bracelet.

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!

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!

I adore banded agate, and when I saw these beads I knew they would make the prefect earring. The Victorians loved agate, but they tended to use the blacker stones. I love the contrast in these with the black surrounding the white stripe.

I adore this bracelet because the colours and cuts of the gems are just so original! Each stone is shaped like a little anvil, but with a soft, frosted interior, and sharp, glistening facets. The colours range from clear to black, giving a lovely depth to this stunning bracelet.

I adore the cut of these stones, they have faceted ends that sparkle with an icy bright glint, and frosted middles, and the white quartz is just so fresh. I have used these as interlocking pieces, as the quartz is shaped to fit together, but decided instead to add some ping with a fresh, bright colour... and it had to be peridot. This piece really leaps off the wrist!

I adore simple but complex jewellery. These pearls are simply gorgeous, and I wanted to create a waterfall effect across the throat, a cascade of silver and pearl.
When you wear this piece it is so amazing, the silver and pearls have such movement.
