Inspiration for pieces explained: Sexy Garnet Earrings

      

I wanted matching earrings to go with the elegance garnet set which has a bracelet and necklace, and decided to make them a dangle. 

They work very well, and look great with the other pieces as a set.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pure Gold, Pure Pearl Bracelet and necklace

    

   

I wanted to work with gold, so decided to get the best pearls possible, and string them onto 9ct gold very simply. I love these pieces as they work so well, and have created my own version!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Rock Crystal and Silver Bracelet

      

I adore rock crystal, and felt that these stones needed to shine individually. As putting them too close together caused the stones to lock, I decided to add a silver bead between them to make sure the stones would have some freedom of movement.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Victorian Jet Necklace

       

This piece was born of desperation, trying to find a way of mounting such a large piece of jet elegantly, and stopping it from twisting outwards. By stringing it between two doubled-up chains I think I managed to find a successful solution.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Antique Shamrock Necklace

     

I was heavily into Jet at one point, trading on eBay quite a lot. In two separate auctions these were included, and I was entranced by the delicate carving. It's not been an easy decision to sell these, as I know I won't find them again! 

Because they are genuine one-offs, I couldn't hope to create earrings, and the delicacy of them meant there was no possibility of creating a bracelet. Although I found them in different lots, I decided that they should stay together, and realising that the double-shamrock had double holes that would easily take a chain the design grew from that.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Green and Purple Amethyst Necklace

       

I love green amethyst, and I thought these pretty micro-faceted beads with a purple version deserved to stand out! The hammered circle gives a break and adds interest to the piece.
