Emma Bouquet - with Love from colleagues








Emma's colleagues decided to give her a bouquet which will last longer than a real bouquet of flowers. These pretty gemstones of varying colours are all of the same stone, Tourmaline! They are sparkly and comes in nice pink, green and brown hues :) You can even see different colours in the same stone - these are watermelon Tourmaline. White, lustrous Keishi pearls and small rice pearls contribute to more textures. Chain and parts are goldfilled. This is one of the few pieces I spent a great deal of time on, doing and undoing and changing stuff, even til the last minute, because I really want these nice stones to be set in a delicate, asymmetrical style.



As for the earrings, I decided to make vine-like ones with just white and pink colour combo. Great to be worn separately from the necklace.
