Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Carved Earrings
I adore these stones, they have such a lot of detail! The stones were difficult to mount as the holes went top to bottom, but as they detail runs around the sides, it was easy to create them as earrings with multi-dimensional views!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Long Necklace
I love tear-drop beads, and these garnet ones are very unusual as the bead is flat, giving a lot of reflection off the large facet. I decided to string them onto a long necklace as I felt it would be a flexible piece, but would also make it magnificent. It worked so much better than I had hoped!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Frosted Amethyst Trio Earrings
I love drops, and I thought the delicate colour of the amethysts was just so pretty they deserved to be showcased.
I love the purple and silver together, and the frosting just adds to the piece.
As they were round, I felt that a round earrings stud would suit them better than a drop, and I'm really pleased with the result. They are so feminine.

Green Leaf Earrings and 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
Starry Bright Earrings
I wanted to make earrings to go with the Clear Star Necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/N22008/Necklace.htm), but as I only had two stones left, it didn't give me many choices.
So I went completely simple, and elegant.
