Inspiration for pieces explained: Ice Grapes Necklace

              

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! Neither overwhelms, but yet the amethyst brings extra depth to the piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained: 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: 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: Green Leaf Necklace

        

I found the vintage mother-of-pearl leaves at a Vintage Fair on a disintegrating necklace. I had to have them! I paired them with the peridot because it is such a living, green colour. I love the set so much I made another just for me!

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: Butterfly Delight Necklace

        

I owned these beads for years before realising that with a pearl, they make the most delightful, summery jewellery! I played around with the arrangement quite a lot, as I had had the beads for so long it was difficult to find exact matches, so I opted for making do with what I had. I decided that a single pearl was best, and that several butterflies on the necklace would make it decorative, but not too heavy. The first time I paired a butterfly and a pearl I knew I was onto a winner.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Victorian Jet Necklace

             

I love jet, and wanted to do something special with these pieces. Although they are oddments, taken from Victorian jewellery, I think they work very well in this necklace.
