Malachite and Sterling Silver Ring

Malachite and Sterling Silver Ring

My lovely mum came to visit me last year, and as we were looking through all the gemstones I have. I asked her to choose one she liked, and this was it!

I made it into a ring for her, and took it down when I went for a visit.

I  love my mum!

My gorgeous client Charmaine has a huge malachite ring I made for her, and she wanted some earrings to match. These malachite gemstones are in my gemstone collection, so I created this pair of earrings to give her.

This was the first time I attempted this particular style of bezel setting, and I’m pretty pleased with the way they turned out!

It’s always a pleasure to make something special for someone nice. I feel very lucky to do what I do!

Turquoise and Chrysocolla Sterling Silver Cuff Bangle

This cuff bracelet was a one-off remodelling job I did for a lovely client using an old cuff which was precious to her but unfortunately broken. It’s a good reminder to be careful when putting on your cuff bangles not to squeeze or stretch them and over-stress the metal!

The existing stones were (probably) turquoise, and the addition of chrysocolla adds interest and texture to the piece.

It was great working with Juliet, and we discovered quite a few uncanny coincidences that made the experience even more special! Thanks!

The Condamine Campdraft Assocation commissioned me to create a custom Condamine bell pendant for their Ladies Draft winner. These bells were traditionally made out of old worn-out sawblades and were worn by cattle. You can read a little more more about them here.

My lovely client Natasha saw these charoite gemstones in my gemstone collection, and asked me to create a pair of stud earrings to match a ring I made her previously for her mum.

Small and sweet, and a little bit matching. I love them.

Threepenny Cuff Links

Threepenny Cuff Links

A client came to me with two old bracelets made from old threepenny bits. They ranged in date from 1897 to 1940. The bracelets had seen better days, and my client asked if I could take two of the 1917 coins off and create cuff links as a gift for her husband.

It was slightly daunting to be working with 100 year old coins, but the cuff links turned out ok!

These stacking rings were a custom build for a client who has three children named after gemstones. She chose the correct coloured stone for each child from my  gemstone collection.

These remind me of the lovely old style acrostic jewellery. What a gorgeous way to honour your loved ones!
