The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden

(Silver Plated, Amethyst Chip Gemstone, Green Aventurine Chip Gemstone, Rose Quartz, Pink Mother of Pearl, Glass Pearl Beads)



This earring and necklace set was inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel 'The Secret Garden'.  I have mixed the three gemstones with the pearl to give a soft and delicate touch of colour to this pearl necklace and earring set.








Necklace Detail

The pink mother of pearl bead is beautifully framed by two silver plated bead details which then transition to amethyst and green aventurine gemstone.  The brilliant white pearl bead adds a softness to the beautiful sequence of coloured gemstones.





















Secret Garden Earring

(Silver Plated, Pearl Beads, Green Aventurine, Amethyst and Rose Quartz)

These are one of my favourite earrings in the MHJ collection.  I chose not to include the mother of pearl beading in the earring as I wanted this piece to be quite soft and delicate so I felt it would be more effective to use smaller stones. 

The amethyst, rose quartz and green aventurine gemstone have been suspended on a clear wire to give the illusion that they are floating under the pearl.





Thanks!
