Inspiration: Under the Sea

A while back I did a Jolly Jewellery post all about pieces inspired by what lives in the sea. After visiting the Sea Life Sanctuary at the weekend I can see why so many designers use this as their starting point. Just look at these colours and shapes!

I can definitely see me using these photos as inspiration for future jewelry designs.  The bright colours are fantastic and the shapes are so unusual. Best get this years spring/summer offerings in the shop first before I go designing next years!
Where do you find your inspiration?
