Royal Purple

I saw this necklace from Fay Cullen (if I win the lottery--though my odds would increase ever-so-slightly if I actually, you know, purchased lottery tickets--I am going to buy something from Fay Cullen) and knew I had to use it as the keystone of a purple inspiration board. I love bold-colored and pear-shaped stones, so I fell for this necklace hard when I saw it!

Anyway, I thought this amazing and dramatic necklace called for equally amazing and dramatic elements to surround it, especially because purple is such a regal color.
