A fabulously opulent dragonfly collection inspired by the great French Art Nouveau jewellery designers.

An Art Deco book binding at the Bodleian Library in Oxford,England, part of their exceptional and historic collections, provided Paula with the inspiration for this striking suite.

The Ashmoleon Museum houses many priceless and beautiful objects, among them is a cupboard or cabinet. This sounds unremarkable until you realise it was painted by Edward Burne Jones as a wedding gift for his friend WIlliam Morris - it's magnificent. I spotted a small styalised peacock detail on the cabinet and a collection of jewellery was born!

A bold use of black onyx and amber - classical Art Deco colours and designs.

Inspired by the great designer Archibald Knox, this stylish suite is set with turquoise and freshwater pearls.

Deep blue iolite and freshwater pearl set in a typical Arts & Crafts Heart design.

More designs inspired by Archibald Knox, this time set with labradorites - a stone which throws out blues, greens and greys and was much loved by designers of the Arts & Crafts period.

Rhodolite garnet has a softer, pinker look than its cousin and teamed with freshwater pearls provides an up to date version of an Arts & Crafts design.
