Big Blue Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

Big Bright Blue Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

I made this ring for Gracie, my son’s girlfriend, to wear to her Year 12 Formal.  She is such a sweetheart, she deserves a whole handful of beautiful rings!  This one will have to suffice for now.

She chose the stone, and I set it very simply (as always!) and gave it a high polish.

Thanks for the honour, dear Gracie, and have a fantastic night!! 🙂 xx

Sterling Silver and Aquamarine Earrings

Carmen commissioned me to make a pair of earrings for her good friend’s birthday.

Aquamarine and Sterling Silver Earrings

Aquamarine is the ancient birthstone for October, and these milky aquamarines are gorgeous specimens in my opinion!

I hope the birthday girl is pleased with them!

I made this drusy agate ring for Leesa. I took it down to her yesterday evening, and she was really thrilled! Navy Blue Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

Everyone who saw this stone before I set it coveted it, so definitely a good choice, Leesa!

It’s so lovely when the person for whom you’ve created a piece loves the work you’ve done.  Leesa is keen to have another one, this time in gold, so stay tuned!! 🙂

I made this silver cuff ring for Sarah.

It was great fun to make, with plenty of forging (that’s the hammering kind 🙂 ).

Sterling Silver Twisted Chain Bracelet 1

Sterling Silver Twisted Chain Bracelet

My grandmother commissioned me to make this sterling silver twisted chain bracelet after she saw the one I made for myself a while back.  The links join together in a very precise pattern, so it was very zen to make!  There is no catch, the bracelet simply rolls onto your wrist.  It is very comfortable, and feels lovely rolling up and down your arm.

Each link is individually soldered, so the piece gets hot very quickly and you can only solder a couple of links at a time.  It lived on my workbench, being made in between other things, for many weeks!  Lucky Granny is patient..

Sterling Silver Seashell

She sells seashells…

Ok, so this piece is not for sale – but I did create it! This seashell is the physical component of my latest goldsmithing course project brief. Lots of wire bending and soldering made this an interesting and challenging piece to create.

It started life as a sketch from my mind, and went through some incarnations on paper, as a freehand art drawing:

Also as a technical drawing:

One of my very favourite creations!
