The gorgeous Linda saw one of the rings I had created on FaceBook, and just had to have her own!
She chose this gorgeous and really unusual drusy agate cabochon from my gemstone collection.
The ring turned out beautifully, and Linda (and her small daughter) are both very pleased with it! Thanks, Linda!

I was recently contacted by Greg, who was after something special for his partner Fi.
They both came to visit me, and Fi was able to choose her very own gemstones from my collection.
A quick measure with my ring sizers, and I created these treasures. I love the blend of amethyst, moonstone and labradorite – it may be a Pisces thing!
I do have lots of smaller gemstones in many gorgeous colours, so if you’d like something similar, do let me know!

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!

She is such a sweetie to work with, and it was my pleasure!
I love this lighter malachite, it’s just gorgeous. Thanks, Charmaine!
I was very happy when Bek asked to make this stunning piece of drusy into a bespoke ring for her.
The sparkle is wonderful, and the ring is a great one for every occasion!
