Starry Bright Earrings
I wanted to make earrings to go with the Clear Star Necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/N22008/Necklace.htm), but as I only had two stones left, it didn't give me many choices.
So I went completely simple, and elegant.

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.

Inspiration for pieces explained
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.
