Inspiration for pieces explained: Towering Garnet and Pearl Earrings

       


I wanted to create a pair of statement earrings, and I wanted to use some gorgeous roundel beads I had. Pairing  them with a pearl was easy, the contrast in the colours is just so delicious!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Gorgeous Garnet Bracelet

       

I love garnets and silver, they enhance each other so well! I wanted to give this piece texture, so I used a couple of sizes in the stone. The piece works really well as it is such a delight to wear, lots of dangle!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Red Berries Coral Bracelet

       

I found these beads and knew I wanted to make a rich, colourful bracelet out of them. I chose to layer the beads rather than string them as I thought it would give texture and life to the coral. 

It looks wonderful on, and is a terrific piece to wear!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Green Amethyst Pencil Necklace

   

This amethyst is a wonderful shape and colour, I would have a pair of earrings except I couldn't buy a matching pair. I decided that it was far too pretty to pass, and snapped it up, turning it into this pretty piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Crystal Sparkle Necklace

       


This necklace was designed to show off these unusual stones. I decided to have them all facing the same way rather than half-and-half, and I think it works really well. It certainly adds a lot of sparkle to the neck!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Carved Earrings

     

I adore these stones, they have such a lot of detail! The stones were difficult to mount as the holes went top to bottom, but as they detail runs around the sides, it was easy to create them as earrings with multi-dimensional views!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Long Necklace

       

I love tear-drop beads, and these garnet ones are very unusual as the bead is flat, giving a lot of reflection off the large facet. I decided to string them onto a long necklace as I felt it would be a flexible piece, but would also make it magnificent. It worked so much better than I had hoped!
