Bespoke
I love creating personalised gemstone necklaces for clients to signify those close to their hearts. For example, clients have requested necklaces made from, or incorporating, the birthstones within their family.
For myself, I've made a peridot necklace, which is the birthstone of our daughter, with freshwater pearls to signify our love of the sea, a small shell found on our first trip to the beach and baltic amber beads. It may sound like a very unusual combination, but it really does work with high quality gemstones and great design.
The gemstone beads I typically use are:
January: garnet
February: amethyst
March: aquamarine
April: clear quartz
May: green onyx, chrysoprase
June: pearl, moonstone
July: red carnelian
August: peridot
September: iolite (water sapphire), moonstone
October: opal, tourmaline
November: yellow topaz, citrine
December: turquoise, lapis lazuli, blue topaz
I also work with pearls, coral, amber and so many other gemstones and found objects. If you have something in mind just ask.
