Inspiration for pieces explained: Pearl and Garnet Drop Necklace

      

I adore garnets and pearls with silver, and with an influence of Indian jewellery, this piece practically made itself! I wanted to make sure the stones had different levels on the piece, so chose pearls that were larger than the garnets to get the effect.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Edgy Garnet Heart Earrings

       

Another heart piece! This time I wanted the opposite to my pavé earrings (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22039.htm) and have the garnets as the edge to the earrings. I think they work really well because the setting allows the garnets to really shine and show themselves off.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Give Me Your Heart Necklace

      

I wanted a romantic piece, and decided that a heart would fit the bill perfectly. I decided that the shape said it all, but added garnets and silver beads to give the piece texture.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Silver Heart with Pink Chalcedony Drop Earrings

      

I found these hearts at a supplier, and decided that they would look great with pink. Having these drops of chalcedony already, it wasn't too much of a leap to add them together!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pavé Heart Earrings



I wanted to make some romantic earrings, and as I've been moving in a very sculptural direction with my jewellery, decided that garnets pavé set with a woven silver frame was the way to go! I'm very pleased with these as the red is so striking and sparkly. 

The setting allows maximum light to get to the stones, so you see all that glorious colour.
