I adore fluorite, and the strange shape of these beads meant they had to be either horizontal or vertical. Vertical wasn't really working for me, too much visible silver would have to arch over the top of the beads, and there was a risk they would tip, but I loved the horizontal, and I think they work really well.

I found these spirals at one of my suppliers, and loved them. It was a case of what to use them for, and originally I thought of a necklace, but sing a single headpin on one made me realise that they were crying out to be a bracelet.

Like the amethyst version, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/N22003.htm) I wanted this necklace to show off the stones. However, as I had made the amethyst earrings, (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22004.htm ), I decided to create a necklace that copied the feel. I tried having the stars on individual chains and separate from each other, but holding them together I realised they looked so pretty together that I had to go for it. The circle of silver was designed to both hold the stars and the necklace part as well as be a striking feature. Overall a success.

I love jet, and wanted to do something special with these pieces. Although they are oddments, taken from Victorian jewellery, I think they work very well in this necklace.

I loved these beads from the moment I saw them. The first piece I created was the necklace, feeling that a simple string of the beads would be more effective than grouping them. However, for the earrings, I realised that I could do something similar to the Amethyst Elegant Drop Earrings (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22008.htm) and have a 'shooting star' effect. I think these both work really well as the necklace sits nicely on the collarbone, and because the earrings dangle, they have a lot of life and interest. In each way, they show off the stones perfectly, and work very well.

This is inspired by Georgian pieces that are amazingly beautiful. I added 'swags' either side to mirror and frame the long stone.

I love these jade flowers, and wanted to give them a lot of dangle from the necklace, and a little extra from the gorgeous pearl sat underneath.
I also matched the stones either side of the central flower as well as I could, but being a natural product it wasn't totally possible!
