Inspiration for pieces explained: Crystal Delight Necklace

      

I adore the clear beauty of these stones. Rock crystal is such an elegant look, and I wanted to emphasise their clarity in this case with a simple setting.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet Heart Earrings

       

After making the Silver Heart with Pink Chalcedony Drop Earrings (http://www.jewellerydragon.com/E22042.htm), I decided that I really wanted to top and tail these pretty hearts with garnets, the colour of passion. I think they work really well.

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 pavĂ© 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.

 The elegance of this stone was begging to be emphasised, so a simple chain was the way to go.

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!
