Inspiration for pieces explained: Elegance Garnet Bracelet and necklace

       

I found this chain at a supplier, and wanted to make something special with it.
Rather than clutter it up, or even use it unadorned, I found that adding different sized garnets added to the piece in an unexpectedly graceful way. 


The tiny spots of colour suit the large chain, and create a delicate piece. 

The garnets are lovely as they are all hand-carved, giving them warmth and unusual faceting.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Feather and pearl earrings and necklace

        
 
I love the charm that hangs from these pieces, it was described as a leaf, but I couldn't help see them as feathers.

I added a tower of pearls above them because I felt they needed richness without being overwhelmed, and I felt that the pearls gave a 'feathery' feel to the piece. Love them very much!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst Cascading Dangle Earrings

 

These are stunning earrings. I found these beads, and noticing that they cascade down in size, wanted to make a dangly pair of earrings. I decided that a classic smallest at the top was the most suitable for these earrings.  

They lok stunning on, and are lovely to wear! Very glamerous.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Flourite Earrings

      

These Flourite are a stunning size and shape. They don't quite match, but I think they look amazing together! I love the delicate stripes, I just felt they needed a drop, so included the gorgeous 'egg' beads at the bottom.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Rock Crystal Bracelet

       
 I adore the clear beauty of these stones. Rock crystal is such an elegant look, and I couldn't resist these rectangular stones. Each one has four single 'facets', making this one of the most unusual braclets I have made.

Becuase they were so structured I decided to creat three rows of stones, giving this bracelet a very glamerous feel, with lots of sparkle.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pear Rock Crystal Earrings

       

These gorgeous stones are just amazing, but work incredibly in groups where they fizz off each other. So I decided to create these earrings to show them off to their best.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Jasper Cuff Bracelet

         

These beads are just so amazing! Each one has a cut-out for a bead, and although I could have used a contrasting colour or more jasper, I decided on silver to give a shimmer to the piece, and not make the colours too overwhelming. I also like that it makes the piece 'metal' without being too masculine.
