Inspiration for pieces explained: Double Trouble Bracelet

          
   

I had two very similar strands of amethyst faceted gems, and wanted to create a dangly, waterfall bracelet. I chose to mix the colours together as I loved the idea of shading throughout the bracelet. Rather than start with the darker colours and move to the lighter, I chose to mix them throughout. The effect is very subtle, but gives a lot of depth to the piece.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst Droplet Earrings

 

I love amethyst, and wanted to try something special with these gorgeous quality gems. So when I added the silver head-pins, I gave them a sweeping bend, a curve that creates movement in them even when they are not being worn. But when you do wear them, the elegant curve gives so much more to the design than just a straight dangle would have done.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Adventurine Blocks Bracelet

          
   

I love adventurine as it has such a wonderful green colour, and amazing glitter to the stones. I wanted to create a bracelet that was striking, but simple, and as I had these large blocks, I thought they would be ideal. I could have added more stones of the same size, or different shapes, but I loved the bold contrast between the silver and the green, the ovals of the chain and the strong, cube shape.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Pearl Drop Earrings

     
   

I adore these garnets, the red is just so rich that I wanted to pair them up with a pearl. I chose these pearls as they have a wonderful, crisp, white colour, and a stunning glow to them. Lovely.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Peridot and Pearl Necklace

  

    

I adore peridot as it has such a fresh, clean green. It reminds me of spring, when every leaf is brand new. Putting it with pearls just emphasises the clarity of the colour, making a very fresh, but rich, piece. I wanted to make a luxurious necklace from these stones, and needed to frame them with pearls because I wanted the peridots to really shine. And boy, do they!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Sparkling Ruby and Rock Crystal Earrings

     
   

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 rubies and really emphasises them to the max. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Multi-Coloured Quartz Earrings

          
   

I adore these earrings 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 these pretty, dangly and flirty earrings.
