Inspiration for pieces explained: Labrodite and Vintage Glass Bracelet

         
   

When I found this labrodite, I had to have it. Labrodite contains glimmering purples, greens, blues and yellows, and these beads are simply the best I have ever owned. Now I could have just re-strung, but I decided to get the maximum out of each stone I needed to add contrast and darkness, with the lovely vintage glass. This allows you to view each labrodite as an individual, and revel in their stunning beauty.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Garnet and Crimped Silver Bead Necklace

          
   

I adore the silver beads I used in this necklace, they are hand made in India and have such a pretty look! Pairing them with garnet was a no-brainer, the colour just shines out from the necklace.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Fool's Gold Earrings

     
   

I adore fool's gold because it has a look of luxury for a fraction of the cost. The tiny squares of this strand of beads were begging to be earrings, but I didn't want to just stack the beds, I wanted something a little more fun. So I decided to do multiple layers and give these earrings a lot of glamour and fun.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! 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: Amber Delight Bracelet

          
   

I was given this Baltic amber by a relative. It's about twenty years old, and has a wonderful, mellow colour. As the amber is so clear and pretty, I wanted to set it in silver to give the maximum effect. A dangly charm-style bracelet was the way to go, giving each piece of amber a chance to shine. I chose this style as I wanted the piece to be contemporary looking, yet still show each piece perfectly. Job done!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Summer Flower Earrings

    


I found the amethyst flowers at a supplier, and immediately bought them without a clear plan of what to do with them. I also bought some carved peridot leaves, but the effect was somewhat underwhelming, I felt it needed something more. So I added these marquise cut peridots. They have the depth of colour and the sparkle to turn these earrings into something really special.
