Earrings for Debra
Bespoke jewellery is often commissioned and made for an individual, but it can also be for a couple. Here the skill of the bespoke jeweller is to understand the needs of both clients, and make something entirely gorgeous for them. Debra�s husband wanted to have some long, tassel-type earrings made for her birthday. She is a gregarious, fun-loving woman, who loves gold, and suits larger pieces of jewellery. In our conversation we discussed his thoughts, and I formed a picture of Debra, which became the basis of my brief. These lovely gold earrings shimmer with brilliant-cut, sparkly gemstones, featuring her favourite colours.
Amethyst | is a member of the quartz family. It ranges in colour from a rich, deep purple to very pale lilac. Opaque, translucent or transparent, amethyst is a hugely popular gemstone widely used in contemporary jewellery. The name derives from the Greek word amethustos, meaning without wine and legend has it that amethyst helps prevent drunkenness; it is also associated with sincerity, security and spirituality. |
Blue Topaz | The use of topaz in jewellery dates back to ancient Egyptian times. These beautiful blue topaz gemstones have been cut to maximise the subtle beauty and clarity of their colour. |
Peridot | a beautiful, ancient gemstone that is the birthstone for the month of August with a memorable, vibrant green colour. |
Rhodolite Garnet | Lighter, brighter and more purple than common garnets, rhodolites are fine gemstones and quite rare. |
Smoky Quartz | is a close relation to amethyst and citrine; it ranges in colour from pale to dark brown. Smoky Quartz is reputed to be a protective and grounding gemstone which dissipates negativity and balances energies. It is seen as an aid to anxiety, stress and depression. |
