Inspiration for pieces explained: Elizabethan Pearl Delight Necklace


         

This started off life as a pearl necklace (although linked, not strung). I wanted to put a single focal bead on it, reminiscent of Elizabethan jewellery, but at the time I only had one size of pearl, so instead I decided to create the frill of pearls instead. 

Ironically it still has an Elizabethan style to it, and I'm planning additional versions that include different stones. Suggestions always welcome!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Crimped Silver Bead Earrings

         

I adore the silver beads I used in these earrings, they are hand made in India and have such a pretty look! Pairing them with garnet was a no-brainer, the colour just shines out from the earrings.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pave Heart Earrings

             

I wanted to make some romantic earrings, and as I've been moving in a very sculptural direction with my jewellery, decided that garnets pavĂ© set with a woven silver frame was the way to go! I'm very pleased with these as the red is so striking and sparkly. The setting allows maximum light to get to the stones, so you see all that glorious colour.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Frothy Silver Earrings

        

This design was inspired by the Frothy Silver necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22038.htm), and a commission piece I made just before Christmas. I loved the idea of graduating beads, it's very elegant, and reminiscent of Indian pieces.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Silver Heart with Pink Chalcedony Drop Earrings

         

I found these hearts at a supplier, and decided that they would look great with pink. Having these drops of chalcedony already, it wasn't too much of a leap to add them together!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Silver Earrings

         

I wanted to create a matching pair of earrings for the Pearl and Garnet necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22056.htm), and thought that garnet surrounded by silver would be just perfect. Although they would also go with the garnet necklace as well http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22034.htm!
