I really wanted to create a special range of jewellery, and the most precious gems available were the obvious choice. However, as I wanted to create an affordable range, I wanted to distribute the stones within the pieces, while still giving them the maximum impact. This was partially inspired by some incredible 'triangular' stones I had found, that I wanted to use in a special a piece as possible. These became earrings in the Oh My! range.
So, I decided to use rock crystal. Because of the high-sparkle impact of the stones, and the refractive qualities, it takes the sapphires and really emphasises them to the max. I went for these larger rock crystals for a different look. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

I was given a vintage glass necklace with stunning beads, each contains all the colours of the rainbow. As the overall effect was rather too much, I decided to create a bracelet with black agate and the pretty glass beads. It works really well as the gleaming black grounds and emphasises the rainbow shafts of light that come off the pretty stones.

Pearls have a lovely shine to them, and pairing them up with quartz always works well, you get such a lovely sparkle from the facets. However, using frosted quartz gives a stunning look too, but in a different way. This time it is the pearls that give the shine, with the quartz adding a gorgeously soft look. Overall the piece then ends up subtler and softer, but no less glamorous.

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.

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!

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.
