Inspiration for pieces explained: Black Night Necklace

              

I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. Although I have created pieces that insert different stones or colours into the piece, I had to make this all black. It is now so glamorous I think it would grace any occasion, it has just enough subtly and sparkle to give you an air of mystery. 

And I have a confession to make. 'Dark Night' does refer to the Batman film. Well, on their own, these little dark delights look like little bats!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Ruby and Rock Crystal Earrings

             

I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range, I wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum impact. 

This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that I wanted to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range. So, I decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and the refractive qualities, it takes the rubies and really emphasises them to the max. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Sapphire Necklace

         

I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range, I wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum impact. 

This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that I wanted to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range. So, I decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and the refractive qualities, it takes the sapphires and really emphasises them to the max. 

I went for these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me as the original stones were very small, and have highly cut edges, making them perhaps uncomfortable to wear in a necklace, but perfect in earrings. I decided to not focus the sapphires in one area, either, distributing them evenly with the rock crystal so you get the colour right around the necklace. Stunning, and very exiting! 

Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Black Sparkle Stretchy Bracelet

         

I was given a vintage glass necklace with stunning beads, each contains all the colours of the rainbow. As the overall effect was rather too much, I decided to create a bracelet with black agate and the pretty glass beads. It works really well as the gleaming black grounds and emphasises the rainbow shafts of light that come off the pretty stones.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pearl and Frosted Quartz Necklace

         

Pearls have a lovely shine to them, and pairing them up with quartz always works well, you get such a lovely sparkle from the facets. However, using frosted quartz gives a stunning look too, but in a different way. This time it is the pearls that give the shine, with the quartz adding a gorgeously soft look. Overall the piece then ends up subtler and softer, but no less glamorous.
