I created this amazonite and silver ring for my lovely client Natasha. She chose this gorgeous amazonite gemstone from my gemstone collection.
Amazonite gets its name from the Amazon River, however there is some doubt about whether the stone actually occurs there.
Natasha commissioned this ring so she could give it to her mum. What a lovely and special gift for a lovely and special person!
The amazonite gemstone cabochons shown here are 8mm in diameter, and are available to be handcrafted into custom pieces for you.
The amazonite gemstone cabochons shown here are 6mm in diameter, and are available to be handcrafted into custom pieces for you.
I used one of these cabochons to create this custom piece:
My lovely friend Margaret is an artist, and I met her when she commissioned me to create this coherent wave pendant for her to wear to her art exhibition, Bliss.
The symbol is for infinity, of course, and also represents the number eight, which is a very lucky number in Asia and kept cropping up throughout Margaret’s painting journey!
We selected the turquoise, chrysoprase and amazonite as they were such delicious water colours, and I added the sparkling white topaz which reminds me of the sparkling water too.

Thanks, Margaret, your visions are lovely, and you’re a joy to work with!
This ring was the second last piece I made for my Vocational Course. The design was one provided by the school, as the task was to learn claw/basket setting. I chose the stone though!!
I made the ring particularly for my mum, for her birthday. She’s delighted with it!! Hooray!!
