Black Jewellery – for magic, mystery, prestige and elegance.

Black is one of my most popular colours. It is a magical colour full of mystery and intrigue. Elegant and striking it is a colour that demonstrates sophistication, strength and power. Black jewellery also invariably signifies prestige and power. Naturally contrasting well with white and other bright colours it can be used to create dramatic yet well balanced schemes.

Obsidian is a wonderful black semi precious gemstone that I love to use. It is available with both opaque and mirror-like lustre. Historically associated with magic this gemstone is a beautiful choice for handmade jewellery.

Labradorite is another favourite that often exhibits a shimmering iridescence of blue, grey or brown inclusions.

Swarovski include a black in their range of pearls along with a less intense Mystic Black. Other blacks I routinely use, especially in my range of crystal heart and butterfly necklaces, are Black Diamond and Jet.
