Toni fell in love with the indigo beads on these earrings, and after she had purchased herself a pair, she wondered if I could create her a matching bracelet and necklace.
I love getting custom requests, so I was happy to oblige!
Toni loves them, and has received lots of compliments. Happy all round!
I recently created this custom made sterling silver cuff, which depicts an Aboriginal symbol representing travelling (with the circles representing a resting place/watering hole).
My client was pleased with the rustic branch or sand drawing-like nature I gave the symbol, and he has given it to his friend to remind her of her connection to her home while she goes ‘walkabout’. I really enjoy making meaningful pieces for people!
I was asked to make this custom piece to suit someone with a dark vampish nature. My customer gave me the general picture of how he wanted the piece to look, and I added some finishing touches!
He very sensibly sent me a photocopy of the hand that it will be adorning, with measurements added. Perfect!
I hope this birthday present went down well. It was cool to create!
I created this forget-me-not charm bracelet for a customer to give to her boss for Christmas.
The sterling silver chain is pre-made, but the clasps and the charms are handcrafted.
Thanks, Cherie, I hope it was appreciated!
After a visit to see my gemstone collection in person, Robbie chose this piece of petoskey stone and piece of drusy agate to be made into a cuff and ring set for his partner.
I love the way the stones are completely different materials, yet still complement each other beautifully!
I finished the ring with a high polish and the cuff with a brushed finish to add some interest and set the off beautifully. Thanks, Robbie!
This matching mauve bluebell drusy agate and sterling silver ring and cuff are a 21st birthday gift from my lovely customer to her niece.
Meg chose these drusy cabochons after some deliberation.. she has quite an eye for fabulous combinations!
I hope they bring many years of joy. Thanks, Meg!
My dear friend Carmen asked me to create a malachite bracelet for her husband, Vaji.
Malachite is believed to assist with success in business.
Good luck, Vaji, and thank you, Carmen.
If you’re in the market for a new mortgage, let me know – Vaji is your man!
I created these forget-me-not charm bracelets as a memento for customer whose friend is moving away. The sterling silver chain is pre-made, but the clasps and the charms are handcrafted, as always!
One bracelet each, to remember each other by! What a gorgeous idea.
My grandmother commissioned me to make this sterling silver twisted chain bracelet after she saw the one I made for myself a while back. The links join together in a very precise pattern, so it was very zen to make! There is no catch, the bracelet simply rolls onto your wrist. It is very comfortable, and feels lovely rolling up and down your arm.
Each link is individually soldered, so the piece gets hot very quickly and you can only solder a couple of links at a time. It lived on my workbench, being made in between other things, for many weeks! Lucky Granny is patient..
Another of the projects for my goldsmithing course was to create a linked plate bracelet. I seem to be working with a very marine theme these days, and this was no exception:
Using a squid as my inspiration, and seaglass as a finishing touch to the clasp, I thought this bracelet turned out beautifully!
