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!
Theresa was the lucky winner of one of my second anniversary giveaway prizes, a custom made piece from my Amorphia collection.
She loved the shape of one of my existing pieces, so I mirrored that for her!
Theresa chose two lovely milky aquamarines from my gemstone collection, to match a ring that her husband had given her.
I hope that Theresa likes wearing her piece as much as I liked making it! 🙂
** OOPS! My bad. If you’re surfing in from the August newsletter, and looking for the ‘Metal’ Feng Shui pendant, you can find that here. **
I created this for my bestie’s birthday. We had been laughing about how I’m not a fan of mustard coloured things. She is! 🙂
And it will be divine with her colouring, too.
Happy birthday, dearest Morgan!
The lovely Charmaine, for whom I have previously created this ring, this ring, this ring and this ring for, asked me to make her friend a ring from this fabulous round peacock blue drusy agate cabochon.
Unfortunately, we managed to get Charmaine’s friend’s ring size a little confused –
so Charmaine is keeping this one for herself, and I’ll create another for her friend. As always it is such a pleasure to create for her! Thanks, Charmaine!
My dearest friend commissioned me to create a smoky quartz pendant for her mum’s birthday – I was so pleased, as her mum is one of the reasons I began silversmithing – her collection of wonderful statement pieces stayed in my mind from when I was small!
I found her the most amazing faceted cabochon, which inspired my design.
It is one of my favourite pieces to date, and I was honoured to create it! 🙂
Via email, Maggie and I went through some choices from my gemstone collection, and I sent her pictures of a couple of stones that I hadn’t listed yet.
She chose this pale pink drusy agate, which is just divine!
Thanks, Maggie, it was a pleasure to create this ring for you. I’m looking forward to our next collaboration!
Jeff contacted me to see if I could create a pendant using an opal that he got in the opal fields.
The pendant was to be a birthday gift for his wife.
I was glad to be able to help, and I think the end result is great! Thanks, Jeff!
I was listing some new additions to my gemstone collection on my FaceBook page, and Sarah fell in love with this stormy blue drusy cabochon.
She messaged me, and we arranged for it to be made into a ring for her.
Thanks, Sarah, this was a gorgeous ring to create, and you were lovely to work with!
I created this pendant and earrings set in collaboration with a beautiful customer. We worked together to match the stones and come up with the design idea.
The shape of the pieces mirror the pattern in the drusy. The pieces are for a gift for Sonia’s daughter, a Taurean – the stones are both birthstones for the sign of Taurus, so very fitting!
Thanks so much, Sonia, it was such a pleasure and an honour to collaborate with you.
I created this cross for a lovely customer to give her partner.
It is a birthday gift, and replaces a cross that was lost.
The cross is hollow, so it is large but light, and structurally interesting. It was great fun to create!
