Ice Grapes Necklace, Earrings and Bracelet.    




Inspired by a recent trip to Canada, where they make ice-wine, I found both these beads at different suppliers, and was delighted at how well they went together! Gorgeous amethsyt and rock crystal, both with a lovely frosted finish.

Neither overwhelms, but yet the amethyst brings extra depth to the piece.

Knit one, Pearl one necklace    


   

I had a lot of seed pearls, and decided to see if I could string them in rows. 

I added garnets to 'trim' the piece as it was missing something. I love the end result, it's really quirky!

Inspiration for pieces explained

 Silver Droplet Bracelet and Necklace    

I found these at one of my suppliers, and fell in love with them. They are droplets of solid silver, and have a gorgeous weight to them. I decided on creating the bracelet like this to make a river of silver around the wrist. 

Although I could have used elastic, I was worried that the weight of the pieces would be too much, and the piece would not last, so I used a thick stringing thread instead, made of strands of steel!

Agate Necklace    

   

I love agate, and couldn't resist these beads. As they are large, I decided to put them on a solid chain, and make it a long length. This piece can be worn doubled up.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Carnelian Cuff Bracelet    
    

These beads are just so amazing! Each one has a cut-out for a bead, and although I could have used a contrasting colour or more carnelian, I decided on silver to give a shimmer to the piece, and not make the colours too overwhelming. I also like that it makes the piece 'metal' without being too masculine.

Inspiration for pieces explained

Amethyst Drop Necklace    


  

I had this idea when I bought the chain, to frame amethysts with two long pieces. I love how this works, and it's a lovely piece to wear. I wanted the matching earrings to be simple and not overwhelm the necklace.
