I found this amazing stone and had to make a necklace with it! As the stone is very large, I decided that the best way to display it so the stone would show correctly, was by putting it onto a pearl necklace. This then supports the stone so it doesn't turn as you wear it, and allows you to show off the amazing piece you have!

These buttons belonged to my grandmother, and I've always enjoyed their bright colour and lovely design. However, I found them very difficult to set them into jewellery because, being buttons, they have a rear hole. This means that threading through them didn't work, as you wore the piece they turned over, and I didn't want to wrap wire around them.
As they aren't really something I wanted to add to clothing, I left them in a drawer for years. Then recently I was playing around and discovered a way of mounting them that stopped them from turning. I tried a pair of earrings, but they were just too large, however as a necklace I thought they work perfectly.

I love peridot, it's such a vibrant, spring green. I created this piece to take advantage of the way peridot and silver zing together. Using a very large chain, and layering on the stones really helps to give this piece a gorgeous look.

I had decided to make a multi-gem necklace to represent the Olympic rings to celebrate the 2012 Olympics being in Britain. An easy task, except that when I set the rings into the correct positions, the piece didn't work. It was only when I allowed them to be free-flowing that the piece really came to life!
This piece contains tanzanite, yellow sapphire, black spinel, green onyx and ruby, so a real all-rounder!

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.
