I came across this beautiful antique Chinese cinnabar cabochon and knew I had to make it into a pendant for my best friend for her birthday.
I even added some detail to the back of the pendant, to match the front.

Sterling Silver Domed Squares Pendant
This domed pendant was a one-off creation for my dear mother-in-law, who is so good to me.
.
I wanted it to be an everyday piece that has interest, simplicity and clean lines.
I think it got there!
Opal Duo and Sterling Silver Pendant
I created this opal pendant for a lovely client to give to her mother-in-law.
The stones were found by my client’s husband’s grandfather in the 50s.
What a fabulous family heirloom!
Pale Pink Titanium Coated Drusy Ring
This piece was a custom order for a lovely client, who happens to be the friend of another lovely client of mine. I was so pleased!
I have only a couple of dark silver and one gold of these titanium coated drusy cabochons left, and I won’t be getting in any more. If you’d like your own piece, get in touch!
Hammered Sterling Silver Wedding Ring
I created this ring for a client who lives in Guam.
Simple, timeless and elegant – great choice for a wedding ring!
Sterling Silver Guitar Pick Pendant
The lovely Rusty of Vance Custom Guitars had me create a bespoke guitar pick pendant for one of his artists.
The spec was for the pendant to be the same size as an actual guitar pick, and for it to have some “pillow depth” i.e. not to be flat but to have a bit of curve to both sides. The pick has the Vance “V” logo, and the artist’s initials on the reverse. There are actually three layers of metal in this piece. It was fun to build, and both Rusty and Samantha were very complimentary about it!
Melanite Garnet Stud Earrings
My lovely sister had a birthday recently, and I thought she might need a bit of understated bling – so I made her a pair of melanite garnet stud earrings.
Love my sister!
Two Green Gemstones Earrings
To go with the ring from my previous post, my gorgeous client Natasha had me make her a pair of earrings using green gemstones.
The stones are jade and bloodstone (also known as heliotrope.) Fantastic!
Five Green Gemstones Ring
My lovely client Natasha found a picture of an amazing antique ring, and got me to make her a similar style using a selection of green gemstones.
The stones are serpentine, prehnite, chrysoprase, peridot and aventurine.
It looks amazing worn on the first finger – the stones wrap around and are all visible to be admired! Thanks, as always, to Natasha for her friendship and artistic vision.
Native Silver in Cobaltite Ring
My lovely client Rosie chose this beautiful stone from my gemstone collection.
It’s native silver in cobaltite. I’d never seen it before I came across this cab, but it is so beautiful!
I played around with some ideas, but in the end we decided the simple framed look was the best. It usually is!
