My gorgeous friend Marg and her lovely daughter Kim came to visit, and chose this piece of variscite for me to create a ring in time for Kim’s birthday.
That soft green is complimented beautifully by silver! Such a magical material!
I was so pleased to make this ring, and I hope it is a favourite for years to come!
Benson wanted to give his wife a special gift for their wedding anniversary. Sensible man, he went for custom made jewellery!
We put a spin on this cuff bangle and included his wife’s initials.
I hope it was a hit on the day!
Jen, a lovely friend of mine, commissioned me to make her a ring to replace her engagement ring, which she accidentally threw out with the potato peelings 50 years ago!
This ring is set with a lovely, high domed peridot, and is designed to fit with her wedding ring.
It was a joy to create, and Jen was an absolute delight to work with. I love what I do!
Tina came to me with this most gorgeous chunk of moonstone that her husband had brought her back from Chile, to find out if it was possible to turn it into a pendant. We decided the best option was to set it very simply so that the beautiful stone was the focus, and I designed this claw setting for it.
The stone is gorgeously asymmetrical, both in shape and thickness!
It could almost be worn either way I think.
I love the way the moostone glows and glimmers – very magical!
Kathy contacted me to see if I could create a lion ring for her girlfriend, who’s last name is Lyons.
Using my jeweller’s saw, I hand-cut and overlaid this lion rampant onto the ring.
Kathy’s girlfriend was really chuffed with the ring, which makes me very happy!
Zoe has the most divine engagement ring from Tiffany’s, and as it is large and sits right on her finger, she needed a custom made wedding ring to go with it.
I designed Zoe this ring, which fits around her gorgeous engagement ring nicely. It’s a little bit like a medieval crown!
After the wedding, Zoe’s husband decided that although he doesn’t wear jewellery in general, he also wanted a nice simple wedding ring, so I was happy to create that too!
Thank you, Zoe and Matt, for choosing me to create such important pieces for you! Wishing you both a lifetime of joy and contentment.
One of my lovely clients asked if I could make simple wire earrings in the shape of initials, incorporating a bead.
What a cute idea! I don’t know if I can replicate every letter of the alphabet, but ‘L’ worked out pretty well I thought.
Thanks, Lithy! (Love your bead choice, too!)
Lenka Klikacova is a fashion designer, and she contacted me to see if I could make her some silver palm wrap bracelets for her Spring/Summer 2016 fashion show.
I hadn’t heard of palm wraps before, but they are a thing, and I was happy to create the ones that Lenka had in her mind!
Lenka’s designs are sleek and have great shape, so the simplicity of the silver band really worked well.
I’m looking forward to working with Lenka again!
My gorgeous and wonderful Granny celebrated her one hundredth birthday in October.
The family gathered for a lovely morning tea in her beautiful garden.
As part of the celebrations, I wanted to create something unique and special for her, and I decided on a box.
It was probably the most challenging piece I’ve ever worked on!
I love you, dearest Greatie, you are the best, most inspirational grandmother I could ask for, and I feel very lucky to have you!
Lovely Laura wondered if I would be able to create a similar piece to a costume ring which she and her friend both loved, as it was made in a plated base metal which had deteriorated.
It was a mercy dash to the finish line, as the ring was needed for a special birthday right away!
Although it’s not identical (the original would have been cast in a factory mould), I think it turned out ok – and I believe the birthday girl was very happy too!
Thanks Laura!
