The designs in my Orion series—an evolving collection that I continue to add to over time—are inspired by my encounters on Orion beach. This collection uses green chrysoprase from Queensland to represent sea grapes and bubble seaweed and warm-coloured South Australian opals that reference the oranges and yellows of lichen clinging onto rocks. Then there are the Australian sapphires, which reflect the array of colours found in these native weeds both underwater and on the shore.
