Inspiration for pieces explained: Hawk's Eye Necklace and Earrings Set




Hawk's eye is one of those unusual stones you don't see too often. It has a lovely chatoyancy (like silk) in a grey-blue that makes a stunning statement. I wanted the set to be as simple as possible, and devised a new form of setting to stop the stones rocking.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Green Chalcedony Necklace and Earrings Set

    
I adore simplicity, and there is nothing finer than an elegant drop. Therefore I wanted to keep the setting simple, to accentuate the stones.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pyrite Drop Earrings

    

I love these mini-pyrite squares. I didn't want them to loose their shapes, by stacking them, for example, but neither did just one look right. So I layered them up, to a stunning effect. Good job I didn't go for the large size of gem, pyrite is very heavy! These are just the perfect weight though.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Solar Quartz Set



Solar quartz are just stunning. Made from slices cut from stalactites, it has such a snowy, striking look that I wanted to make sure as much of the stone was visible as possible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Oh My! Ruby 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. I went for these larger rock crystals, and not the stones that inspired me to create a different look. Stunning, and very exiting! Next step, diamonds :)

Inspiration for pieces explained: Pink Coral Rose Earrings



These rose beads are just so delicately carved I wanted them to be shown with no clutter or frills. I wound the pin around the back of the bead to prevent the bead from slipping around, and making sure the rose is always visible.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Printed Hearts and Garnet Earrings

    


I love Karen Hill Tribe Silver, and these wonderful beads are a lovely example. Each bead has such a delicate pattern. I wanted to add red, the classic colour of love. So what else, but garnets to top and tail the hearts?
