Inspiration for pieces explained: Glamorous Garnet and Rock Crystal Necklace

    
   

The garnets in this necklace were just crying to be shown off. I had the square profile rock crystals, and though they both mirrored the shape of the garnets, but also brought forward that wonderfully rich, deep red. But how to use them? Side by side the two types of stone locked together and would have left very ugly wire showing if I could get it to bend! However, the simple addition of a silver bead between each garnet means that the necklace is now both flexible, and extra gorgeous!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Amethyst Graduated Trio Drop Earrings

     
   

I had bought a graduated strand of the most amazing amethysts. Instead of just stringing them into a necklace, I made them into a bracelet, but not before I kept back six matching beads, paired to three different sizes. This then allowed me to make these stunning earrings, that have all the colour depth, texture, and interest anyone could ever want,

Inspiration for pieces explained: Blue Topaz Diamond Earrings

     
   

I love topaz, and love these delicate stones. As they were drilled at the top of the 'diamond' shape, I decided I may as well show off the clarity and colour of the stones with a simple setting.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Czarina Necklace

    
   

I adore red and yellow together, and these work so well I couldn't resist. The strong yellow citrine with that deep, rich red garnet, all enhanced with the pretty and sparkly rock crystal. All in all, fit for a queen.

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.
