Inspiration for pieces explained: Angel Wing Earrings




The quality of the details on these charms is breathtaking. I had to make them into earrings, but wanted to make sure none of the glory of these pieces were lost, simplicity was the only way.

p.s. And don't forget, I can customise any piece just for you, make it longer, shorter, or change the fitting! Just ask!

Inspiration for pieces explained: Strawberries and Cream Sapphire Earrings

   
I bought a strand of multi-coloured sapphires with actually very few blue ones on it. I decided to match up a few of the colours to make a multi-coloured pair. It's unusual, and a great talking point as they are all sapphires and illustrate the range of colours beautifully. It looks lovely, and I know I can't make them again, not unless I come across such a wonderful strand of gems again!

Inspiration for pieces explained: White Opal Earrings



I love these white opals, although they don't photograph well, I had to set them to get the maximum out of the fire that sparks off these stones!

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.
