Green Jasper Huge Marquis Cabochon Pair
The amazing green jasper gemstone cabochons shown here are 51mm long, and are available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you.
This beautiful jasper comes from Minas Gerais, which is in Brazil. The colour and striping is unlike any jasper I’ve seen before!
Jasper is believed to encourage personal bravery and help people gain independence. It is thought to help cure gynecological problems and to strengthen the stomach. Some believe it can help bring rain, and it has been used as a protection against evil spirits and snake and spider bites.
Chrysocolla and Malachite Oval Cabochon
The gorgeous chrysocolla gemstone cabochon shown here is 35mm long, and is available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you.
Malachite and chrysocolla both have a high copper content, which is what gives it that fabulous blue/green colouring. The name comes from the Greek chrysos, (gold), and kolla, (glue).
Chrysocolla and malachite commonly form together, and produce some fantastic gemstones!
It is believed to have a calming influence, and also to attract love. It is supposed to help heal burns, fever, and detoxify the liver.
Moss Agate Round Cabochon
The lovely soft green moss agate gemstone cabochon shown here is 35mm in diameter. It is available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you.
Moss agate is dendritic, meaning it has tree or fern-like inclusions (from the Greek dendron, meaning tree). The inclusions in this piece are chlorite.
Moss agate is known as the agate of warriors, and of gardeners and agriculture. Moss agate helps balance emotional energy. It helps the user to let go of anger and bitterness. It is believed to enhance concentration, persistence, endurance and success in one’s endeavors. It is thought to assist with sensitivities to weather and pollution. Midwives use it to assist in successful birthing.
Shattuckite and Sterling Silver Ring
My lovely client Emma was kindly given some Silver Forge dollars to spend for her birthday.
She chose this one-of-a-kind piece of shattuckite from my gemstone collection to be made into a bespoke ring.
I loved working with Emma, she is so fun and has a good eye for the unusual!
Emoji Bear Pendant
My son asked me to make him a pendant to give his girlfriend for a special occasion. He wanted the emoji bear symbol:
I think it turned out ok!
I love those cutie pies!
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!
Malachite Earrings
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!
Dendritic Opal and Sterling Silver Ring
Charmaine, a gorgeous friend of mine, commissioned me to create this piece of dendritic opal from my gemstone collection into a fabulous new statement ring for her.
A person can never have too many Silver Forge rings!
It’s always a pleasure to make something special for someone nice. I feel very lucky to do what I do!
Turquoise and Chrysocolla 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!
