For his 16th birthday, I told my son, Liam, that I would custom make him his own ring.
He chose this gorgeous piece of dendritic quartz, which I set in sterling silver for him.
Beautiful and blokey all at the same time!

Haematite Pendant
I made this haematite pendant for Judy, my mother-in-law, as a birthday present.
It’s quite a statement piece!
Handcrafting Sterling Silver Jewellery
Smithing jewellery for yourself or for other people is a wonderful thing to do. The process of creation encompasses all kinds of aspects, from daydreaming, art drawing, design; to the more physical metal preparation, sawing, filing, emerying, soldering, hammering, bending. Very zen!
The Silver Forge – Unique Handcrafted Custom Sterling Silver and Gemstone Jewellery
Welcome! The Silver Forge is a small independent business in which I make my unique sterling silver jewellery available to purchase. Handcrafted earrings, rings, pendants; custom bespoke gemstone jewellery commissions are all available.
All my pieces are made entirely by hand using traditional methods and hand tools in my own studio at home. Each piece starts life as a throw of silver, which is turned into either sheet or wire by rolling and/or drawing. From there, anything is possible!
I welcome any enquiries, feedback and constructive criticism – and of course purchases if anything takes your fancy. I am happy to take custom orders for any jewellery in silver or gold you would like made, and I’d be pleased to work with you to create with a design for your dream piece.
My great-great-great grandfather, my great-great uncle and my great-grandfather were blacksmiths, so I like to think that I’m carrying on the family smithing tradition in a small way!
