Inspiration for pieces explained: Frothy Three Silver Necklace

    
This design was inspired by the Frothy Silver necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22038.htm), and is like 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: Fool's Gold Bracelet



I love fool's gold as it's such a wonderful colour, not the garish colour of gold, but a softer, antique version. I bought these square stones with the mission to make this bracelet, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out. The gold and silver go so well.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Pearl Bracelet


I adore the richness of red garnet and the creamy white of pearls. Adding them together is just a dream combination for me, and the flat, round shape of the garnets frames each pearl beautifully.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pentagon Amethyst Earrings

    

These stones have the most exquisite cut, and wonderful depth of colour. There was really only one option, I had to make it simple, but I think the end result is stunning.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Black and White Bracelet



I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. I added the black agates to give a lovely contrast.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Czarina Earrings



These garnets were just crying out to be shown off, so I decided on a lovely, simple setting. Stunning.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Ruby 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 rubies 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 rubies 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 :)
