For our new collection I have used some really beautiful combinations, mixing cabochon and cut stones, in fresh and vibrant colours. I’m really excited by the designs; it was hard work, but ultimately very worthwhile and fulfilling. I was really inspired by the wonderful gardens of Chelsea this year, the colours and moods, so you will see alot of combinations reflecting these tones.
I loved working on the pendants, bad for the back, but good for the soul! I surrounded myself with sparkling gems and with a big roll of tape and got stuck into re-creating my imagination. I already had my sketches and colour ideas worked out, but its amazing how much the stones themselves begin to influence your choices.

Here is a preview of the Soft Pinks Collection using Pink Opals, Rose Quartz & Tourmalines inspired by the enchanting summer boarders of the subtle tones of irresistible peonies & roses; in progress.

This was quite a difficult trip as its summer in India, making it extremely hot, thank God for Air Conditioning and swimming pools! Not to mention the flight coming home being canceled, delaying me by 14 hours...thanks Mr Branson! Met some lovely people while waiting though, I would have gone crazy if it hadn't have been for two lovely guys from Derby taking care of me, so thanks to them.
Overall it was a great trip, I met some lovely people which it always makes it extra special.
