Crystal Delight Necklace    

    

I adore the clear beauty of these stones. Rock crystal is such an elegant look, and I wanted to emphasise their clarity in this case with a simple setting.

Purple Dream Bracelet    

   

I love amethyst, and when I found these perfect purple beads I wanted to pair them up with a rock crystal. I also added a tiny glass bead to each bead, they have a silver coating inside and add extra shimmer to this pretty piece.

Silver Link and Vintage Glass Necklace and Bracelet   

I found the glass beads in my great-grandfather's garage. I'm not sure where he got them from, but I assume they belonged to my great-grandmother. 

I wanted to show them off, so decided to mount them simply in silver.

Egyptian Night Bracelet    

   


I love lapis lazuli, and this piece was a bit of an accident. Originally I wanted just the stone without the bottom bead, however the drilled holes turned out to be fractionally too large. 

As I was searching for a solution, I tried a tiny bead at the bottom, and was immediately struck by how it framed the lapis, and added to the overall rich feel of the piece. 

Still a favourite!

This piece is  available at the Harrison Lord Gallery in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.

Clear Star Necklace

      

Like the amethyst version, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/N22003/Necklace.htm) I wanted this necklace to show off the stones. However, as I had made the amethyst earrings, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/E22004/Earrings.htm ), I decided to create a necklace that copied the feel. 

I tried having the stars on individual chains and separate from each other, but holding them together I realised they looked so pretty together that I had to go for it. 

The circle of silver was designed to both hold the stars and the necklace part as well as be a striking feature. Overall a success.

 Victorian and Crystal Cuff Bracelet     

   

I had enough beads to make a simple cuff of all jet beads for this, then disaster struck, and I broke a bead.  Although it could be repaired, I knew it would never be good enough. 

So instead, I used some vintage rough-cut rock crystal beads to act as spacers between the jet, and allow me to get rid of the broken bead. I think the end result is amazing, far better than my original plans.
