I love lemon quartz as it has such an intense colour. The yellow also increases the sparkle of the stones, and with multiple facets I had to have the earrings dangle seductively. I wanted the necklace to be plain and simple to show off the pretty stone.

Another find at an antiques shop. This bead is too big for anything but a pendant, but I loved it's soft colours and exquisite detail. And it's green. I love green!
I added the extra beads to it as the original holes were too big to take a headpin. I started with one, but noticing that it gave a pleasing tiered look, added another. I thought the simple loop for a necklace reflected the bead and the extra silver beads.

When I got these beads I knew there was only one thing to do with them, a simple, but gorgeous necklace. I love silver with the icy-cold of rock crystal, and as I already had a feature bead in silver, I thought it was a good way to use it, and give the necklace a focal point.

Finding good rose quartz is difficult, as it is actually a very pale stone. When I found these I knew I wanted something frothy, but also needed to have them close together to help emphasise the colour.
I was also pleased that there were different sizes of bead to give texture and movement to the piece, the silver with the pink helps too!

Yellow citrine is one of those underrated stones, but I feel it really has character and depth. It is also a very flattering colour! I couldn't resist these gorgeous twisted pear-shaped stones, the clarity and sparkle from them is just amazing. I chose a simple structure for these as I felt the beads themselves gave a wonderful complexity.
However, I decided to layer them in the similar Honey Waterfall Necklace (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/HTML/Products/N22017/Necklace.htm).

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!
