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!
I created this ring for Scott to give to his wife for their wedding anniversary. He wanted to show her how much a part of his family she was by sharing his family crest with her in some way.
He provided me with some great information and some pictures of his traditional family crest. After quite a bit of design discussion, as this ring was to be feminine, we settled on using a portion of the drawing to create the feeling of the crest – I really loved this swirly winglike piece!
Using a garnet to symbolise the red that appeared throughout the family crest (and which, of course, also symbolises love), I was very very happy with the end result. Thanks so much, Scott, it was a pleasure to work with you!
Margaret, a lovely woman I met at my stall at the BrisStyle indie Markets, chose this stone from my gemstone collection, and commissioned me to create a pendant for her daughter’s birthday.
I spent quite a while deciding whether to have the stone pointing up or down – I went with down as you can see! The granulation just adds a little something, I think.
Thank you so much, Margaret, and I hope that your daughter loves her new pendant!
While I was creating the lovely Margaret Ingles her coherent wave pendant, she decided that she would love to have one each for her two daughters, too!
I was happy to create this pair of pendants to match Margaret’s.
Margaret is such a lovely person, it was a joy and a pleasure to work with her! Thanks, Margaret, you’re a treasure!
After I created this rectangle overlay ring for Cam, he decided he would like me to make him another one. He sent me a drawing of what he was after, and I created this ring for him.
The lion rampant is a traditional crest symbol, however in this instance the lion has a different meaning.
A famous trance music emblem, this Gatecrasher lion has been around for a while!
This piece was so much fun to create, and was a challenge to my sawing abilities. Thanks again, Cam, and I hope we can work together again some day!
When this hueso handcarved bone cabochon arrived at our house, I nearly kept it for myself, but my son instantly said how cool it was, and asked if he could get me to custom make a pendant for his friend, Charlotte.
The moon face is so serene!
I learned a little bit about bone and bone carving while I made it. I am always so pleased to know there are such talented people in our world!
Judy loves drusy, just like me, and she asked me if I could source a black drusy stone for her and create a ring.
Of course, I was happy to!
Now this ring is off to a new home in Switzerland. Thanks, Judy!
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 lovely friend and supportive customer Elizabeth had a surprise recently, when she received this ring as an anniversary present!
Her husband, knowing Elizabeth likes my work, secretly commissioned me to make it for her.
I didn’t realise who it was for until I had nearly finished making it – then I finally put two and two together. I was so pleased! Happy anniversary, guys. May you have many, many more!
I created this ring for Cam, who wanted a masculine ring to wear.
We worked together on the design of the ring, emailing ideas back and forth until we were both happy!
Cam is very happy with his new ring, and we’re already designing his next piece. Stay tuned. Thanks, Cam! 🙂
