Inspiration for pieces explained: Peridot Emerald Cut Drop Earrings

              

I love peridot, and was amazed at the clarity and colour of these stones. I didn't want to clutter up the stone with additional features, simplicity is best in this case, and it gives the stones the chance to shine.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Yellow Citrine Earrings

         

Oooo, I love these citrines. The colour is just stunning, the clarity pure, and the facets dance across the surface giving maximum sparkle. These were crying out to be shown off, so a simple setting they get!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Shades of Autumn Necklace

      
I adore these stones. They have such an unusual cut, and the frosted/faceted quality of them is just stunning, and subtle. When I bought them, I actually just bought smokey quartz, which is a lovely, warm brown. 

When they arrived, however, I realised that there was two shades of brown in the multiple strands I had bought. Never one to miss an opportunity, I separated out the stones, and alternated, so you get this wonderful change in colour to add to the soft and sparkle of the stones themselves.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Topaz Star Earrings

        

I adore topaz, and could not pass up the opportunity to own these unusually cut stones. The star cut is very difficult and expensive, so I didn't want to clutter up the stone with additional features, simplicity is best.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst and Aquamarine Drop Earrings

         

There is something about aquamarine and amethyst that just works, the stones zing together delightfully. I just had to pair the two up for these earrings, but as the aquamarines were smaller than the amethysts, I decided to do a reverse triangle, with the largest amethyst at the top. I think they work really well, and are very subtle!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst and Silver Bracelet

         

I had the amethysts left over from another project, and really wanted them to so in something special. I found the Karen Hill Tribe silver rounds, and had to have them to make this bracelet. The deep purple shines out from the silver so amazingly, I'm so glad I made that choice.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Multi-Coloured Quartz Bracelet

              

I adore this bracelet because the colours and cuts of the gems are just so original! Each stone is shaped like a little anvil, but with a soft, frosted interior, and sharp, glistening facets. The colours range from clear to black, giving a lovely depth to this stunning bracelet.
