Natasha contacted me after she saw my work on FaceBook, to ask if I could make her partner a ring.
After some lovely email chat, I sourced a stone for her partner, and Natasha asked if I could also turn the piece of charoite I had in my gemstone collection into a ring for her mum.
I’m so pleased with the way this turned out; I think it’s gorgeous, and Natasha and her mum do too. I’m working on Natasha’s next ring now. I love my job!
I created this custom bookmark for my client to give to her daughter’s boyfriend upon their graduation.
What a great gift for a book loving guy!
You might recall this fabulous olive green titanium coated drusy ring I created – I made this divine pendant for the same lovely client.
I was able to make this pendant in the same style as an existing pendant that she loved.
This chrysocolla comes from Morenci, Arizona, in the USA. Isn’t it gorgeous!
After seeing the twins pendant I created for my gorgeous sister, Leslie got in touch with me to ask if I could create a small version for her. She wanted to surprise her twin sister for their 70th birthday!
I was very happy to help. It really is quite tiny!
Thanks, Leslie, and happy birthday to you and your twin!
Reticulation is a texturing which occurs when silver is heated almost to melting point. The surface of the silver shimmers and moves. It’s a fine balance between a molten surface and an unrecognisable lump! The process is very satisfying when you get it right. I created this pendant (and also the base of this ring) at the school I attended, starting with a flat straight rectangle of silver. I added the silver spheres and some stippling, with a chenier bail, et voila! 🙂
Simple yet effective!
A comment was left on a picture of a custom ring I posted on Facebook that I had created. The commenter said she had seen someone wearing the ring in the place where she works! I was so surprised and pleased.
That lovely commenter went on to arrange for me to create her a couple of custom pieces, one of which is this gorgeous titanium drusy agate ring.
The drusy has been treated (see my blog posts about treatments here), and I think it is just stunning. Maybe you’d like your own ring made with a similar stone? Let me know!
One of my dearest besties and I are both water signs (yep, another Cancerian bestie!) and I wanted to make her something special for her birthday.
Apatite is so gorgeous, such a vibrant blue with some lovely crackly inclusions, and waves – well, what can I say!
Although they can’t be worn this way, I like that they are secretly reflections of each other. Love you Soph!
My client wanted a special ring for his girlfriend.
He asked for their initials, in cursive writing, in a thin banded ring.
I’m so pleased with the way the ring turned out!
The cabochon set shown here is 35mm and 26mm long.
I used these cabochons to create this custom set:
My lovely client, Pauline, wanted a ring created for her daughter’s 40th birthday, with and opal and two peridots which are the birthstones of her daughter’s three children.
She asked if I could use an opal cabochon that she had. I was happy to do that!
I got in some tiny peridots, and we designed the ring together.
Pauline asked if I could make a simple silver bangle to pair with the ring. What a lovely gift!
