Peruvian Opal Jewellery | Limited Edition Handmade Collection

Peruvian Opal Limited Edition Collection

Sometimes a collection begins with a carefully considered idea. Sometimes it begins simply because I see a stone and fall in love with it.

That is exactly how this mini collection came about.

I chose these beautiful Peruvian Opals almost on a whim. I was immediately drawn to their wonderful colours, a mixture of soft blues, turquoise and sea greens that reminded me so much of the changing colours of the sea.

From those stones, this small collection of just 11 individually handmade pieces evolved.

Each Peruvian Opal is completely unique, with its own natural variations in colour and pattern. I have designed each piece around the individual stone, rather than trying to make the stones fit a predetermined design.

The pendants and bracelet are framed with a hand textured border of fine radiating lines, drawing the eye towards the beautiful stone at the centre.

There is also a little detail on the back.

The silver has been textured by hand to represent those wonderful, almost crazy patterns you see on the surface of water when sunlight dances across it. It is a detail that may not always be seen when the jewellery is worn, but I know it is there, and so will the person wearing it.

There are only 11 pieces in this collection and it will not be repeated.

Once they have gone, they really have gone. A small, spontaneous collection inspired by beautiful stones, sunlight and my enduring love of the sea.
