I think the sunny weather inspired me, and most of my new designs have a fresh, springtime look, inspired 
by little green buds in the hedgerows, and the first glimpse of colour in the garden.
by little green buds in the hedgerows, and the first glimpse of colour in the garden.My 'Candy' lariat is available for £50 in Artery Gallery, St Andrews(http://www.arteryuk.com/). This is made from Lapis Howlite chips, cherry quartz chips, shell nuggets and assorted glass beads - each bead is strung on and knotted individually. This photo shows how it would be worn - slung around the neck, and loosely knotted like a scarf. (left)
I have made a pendant style gem-stone necklace of cherry quartz chips, interspersed with tiny little pieces of pretty green peridot, and a pendant of facteted lemon quartz. The lemon quartz is near flawless, in a beautiful clear lem
on shade. It has a large sterling silver toggle clasp at the back. This 'Spring' necklace is available for £50 at Artery Gallery. (right)

The crystals are a firely orange/red, and really highlight the beautiful natural colours in the carnelian stones. This bracelet is £35. (see left)
I have a
very pretty, traditional style string of pearls for any spring brides out there. This pearl necklace is made from superior quality rice pearls, which have a stunning high lustre and no ridges. The necklace is strung in three shades - lavender, pink and white. Anybody who appreciates quality will love this necklace. This necklace is available for £55. (left)

I have tried to make some more unusual pearl jewellery - something a bit funkier, and a step away from tradition. Have a look at this emerald green blister pearl bracelet, with tiny serpentine beads in between. The colour and shape are really vibrant, and a small, simple clasp doesnt detract from the design.

I have also made a traditional style bracelet in an unusual colour - small potato pearls in a silvery sage green, with little pink Swarovski crystals in-between. It's quite a delicate bracelet, which would be suitable for a child as well as an adult, £35. (see left)

(see left)I saw some very unusual pressed glass a few weeks ago, and couldn't resist buying it, and I finally came up with an idea for it over the weekend! I have irredescent flat, swirl shaped glass, which I have turned into
a bracelet with tiny little clear crystals as spacers, for £35. I also have gorgeous pressed glass butterflies, which are now earrings, with sterling silver earhooks, at £20. These might be the first butterflies of the season!
