2008 Spectrum Awards

I searched a bit but I didn''t see anyone post these, so check out the Award winners. I''m really digging the crystal and moonstone necklace. Very neat.

The honeybee box is a much better winner than last year''s 3 stone ring.

As an added bonus, they now show pictures of all the entries too.

I had a look at them the other month - there''s a lot of ametrine (which FI is now keen on - I''m not a fan) - and some gorgeous pieces.

I loved the honeybee box - reminds me of Kit Williams and ''The Bee on the Comb''

I love that they added the entries page now. Great place to check out designers who work a lot with colored stones. Check out Troels Larsen. How fabulous are his earrings? I love the teeny diamonds that he uses on the prongs.
