Simplicity Pearl Earrings    


   


These pearls were so amazing all I could do was to add them to a simple drop. They are very classic, and gorgeous to wear.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Coin Bracelet and necklace    


   

This is inspired by Gypsy jewellery, but for my version I used smaller 'coins' which are really just circles with patterned edges. I decided to make the necklace and bracelet different as I'm not a big fan of completely matching sets, I like it when they have similar detail, but not identical. In the bracelet the coins are each added to the bracelet chain with a small link, where as the necklace includes the coin on the links of the necklace itself.

Pink Chalcedony and Butterfly Necklace    

   

I found these butterflies online at the same time I bought the chalcedony, and felt that they made the perfect pair. 

I did try to make matching earrings, but settled for just the chalcedony as  the butterflies were very heavy!

Inspiration for pieces explained

Jade and pearl flower necklace    

  

I love these jade flowers, and wanted to give them a lot of dangle from the necklace, and a little extra from the gorgeous pearl sat underneath.

I also matched the stones either side of the central flower as well as I could, but being a natural product it wasn't totally possible!

Blue chalcedony necklace    

   

This is inspired by Georgian pieces that are amazingly beautiful. I added 'swags' either side to mirror and frame the long stone.

Jade and pearl flower choker    


  

I fancied a small choker for these beads, but rather than having a dangle, I decided to turn them sideways to make a change. I also used an unusual trace chain to add to the piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained

 Jade and pearl flower bracelet    


I wanted the bracelet to match the necklace and earrings, but not too much, so I turned them on the side instead of having a dangle. Works well, I think.
