Green in Spring

Gucci's spring-summer collection this year is absolutely heavenly... gorgeous colours and lines. Perhaps I've fallen for it because there are so many items that would go with my jewellery - like this,  my favourite pair of pendant earrings for the summer...

These are faceted heart briolettes of Chalcedony suspended from 14K Gold-fill hammered hoops, connected to 14K Gold-fill earwires via faceted rondelles of slightly darker Chalcedony. Available to order.

Hoops & Skulls

Occasionally I make something purely for fun, like these petite earrings with tiny Gold-plate skulls floating on small 14K Gold-fill hoops.

Price: £18 / €22.50

Measurements: Hoops measure 2.5cm across. Skulls measure 6mm at the widest point.

Moss Amethyst Tassels

We have just returned from a week on the French Riviera, and one thing that struck me was that the waitresses in the cafés and beach restaurants were jazzing up their straight uniforms of short skirts/shorts & t-shirts with beautiful dangling earrings of all kinds. And it reminded me that pair of long earrings swishing around the neck is incredibly flattering, so upon my return I made some tassel earrings like these. The large number of small faceted stones give lots of movement and capture the light beautifully.

This pair features long tassels with petite faceted pear briolettes of Moss Amethyst, shot through with black rutiles, which are connected to small hammered hoops in 14K gold fill via faceted tiles of Grape Amethyst. These are suspended from simple French earwires in 14K gold-fill, which come with little silicone 'nuts' to keep them securely in place (not shown).

Price: £46.
