Mother Earth

Nature-inspired green and brown tones can be easily dressed up or down, and transcend seasons and trends to become a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

Green jasper & Brown zebra jasper:
Simple round beads of different sizes work well together on this drop necklace and bracelet set. The drop pendant adds added interest without requiring a separate large pendant bead. Jasper is lovely to use in the summer as it is a lighter gem than many others, making great beach jewellery.


Moss Agate & Picture jasper:
This pretty set is a contrast of colour, shape and texture: the picture jasper nuggets have an opaque, matt finish, and remind me of driftwood. Moss agate varies greatly in hue across the green spectrum, and some gems are opaque while others are partially transparent and have pretty, moss-like inclusions. They are polished to a glass-like finish that reflects light beautifully. I particularly like the earrings in this set, as the nugget shape drops hang nicely and give a very different look compared to regular bead shapes.
