Nadira Necklace
Arabian for Precious, the Nadira necklace is made from scratch with gemstones exhibiting a beautiful range of purples, oranges, reds and black.
The focal is about 1.8", with a frame handcrafted from scratch with individual handshaped components and wire wrapped. I deliberately strayed away from using a regular cut amethyst for the focal, settling instead for a carefully chosen nugget of step cut african amethyst. The central focal is then graced with 5 sparking gemstones, 2 black spinel onions, red garnets and golden citrine.
I added more amethysts, citrines and spinels on each side for a more regal touch.

The Hannah Necklace
Hannah.. Hebrew for "favoured", "grace".
I'm one for versatility in my designs - I try to create pieces which can be layered, mixed or matched whenever possible. My metallo and sugarberry ranges are good examples of such designs.
However, it has been a while since I exercised some versatility in my designs for the Gemmica range (formerly known as the Semper Amemus range). Not since the Eternity pendants have I made liberal use of the necklace enhancer (the last of the eternity range was sold in early 2008)
Made with step cut amethysts, peridot, lemon quartz, sapphires and sterling silver, the Hannah necklace is created with flexibility in mind. The Hannah necklace can be broken up into two, the amethyst step cut links function as a business function necklace - rich purples with coiled links provide a striking singular colour touch to any outfit.. the cluster section can be easily slipped onto a chain or omega chain or a neck wire or collar for a more dressy touch. Put the two together and the necklace takes on a wholly new look that simply screams elegant chic that can take you to the most formal functions.

Birds of Paradise
A new addition to my gemmica range, this necklace is made with citrines, laboradorites, garnets, peridots, freshwater cultured pearls, with a sizeable focal of a faceted flat "mystic" quartz disc. The coating used reflects a myriad of warm colours reminiscent of the colours of sunset on a clear day on the beach, with a silver coating on the under side.
Length : 18"
Chloe Earrings
A simple piece incorporating tunduru sapphires, laboradorite and 14k goldfilled elements. The Chloe Earrings incorporate strong colours of reds, pinks, ambers, light salmon pinks in juxtaposition to the flashy blue of laboradorites.
(tightened the wires after the photo taking - all in all a beautiful piece).
Tunduru sapphires need not necessarily originate from Tunduru, Africa but are generally now used for any diffusion treated sapphires which exhibit the same colours as the originally diffusion treated specimens from Tunduru. Songrea sapphires are also diffusion treated.
