From the vault, here’s a pendant I created for a dear friend of mine, at the (secret) request of her husband.
This was a cheap ‘n’ cheerful piece that was crying out to be recreated* in ‘proper’ sterling silver.
*Just a note that I am no longer doing replica pieces, sorry to tantalise! (I did say from the vault… 🙂 )
There’s a nod to the sky and the sea and the forest in these sodalite, malachite, and silver gum-leaf earrings I created last year for my client George.
As part of the design process, I sent George some pictures of combinations of different gemstones from my available gemstone collection. He chose sodalite and malachite as a lovely combo. We added the gum-leaves for a lovely subtle nature themed earring. George thought they looked great, and they went off to a new home overseas. I’m always so happy when my clients like the pieces I’ve made. It’s always exciting when they’re headed off to various corners of the globe. I have made some well travelled jewels!
This eudialyte and silver pendant came about because Vera came to my workshop and browsed through my gemstone collection. There were a lot of choices, but Vera finally narrowed it down and chose two eudialyte stones for me to create with – one for her, and one for her partner. Vera’s piece is the eudialyte and silver cuff you can see more of here.
Her partner’s piece is this eudialyte and silver pendant. It’s a whoppingly big cabochon, great for a larger person! Eudialyte is a lovely stone and you can read more about it here.
Vera was very happy with the end result, and so was I. I think these pieces make a beautiful matched pair. I wish Vera every happiness for the future!
I created this abstract sterling silver pendant for one of my dear besties for her birthday. 
I made the bottom of the pendant by heating the solid chunk of silver until it melted and became round and reticulated, and added a spiral of wire as the bail.
Love you Soph! xx
I created this pendant with love for Judy, a dear neighbour from a long time ago. Her son recently passed away, and she wanted two hearts to wear close.
We meet a lot of people in this life, and it’s good to take care of the decent folk. xx
My gorgeous client Rosie commissioned me to make her a pendant using a red moss agate gemstone I had in my stash.
The depth the inclusions give this stone is amazing!
Such a gorgeous understated piece, and Rosie is always so lovely to work with. Lucky me!
Vera came to my workshop and browsed through my gemstone collection, choosing two eudialyte stones for me to create with – one for her, and one for her partner.
This cuff is for Vera. She wanted some subtle detail if I thought it would suit the stone.
Vera was very happy with the end result, and so was I!
My lovely client Talitha requested an initial pendant to give to a friend whose name begins with J.
Simple and sweet!
Thanks as always, Lithy.
I made this hessonite garnet and feather ring for a client to give to his partner.
The infinity feather is her business logo. The stone is hessonite garnet, and is such a gorgeous glowing orange colour!
The gorgeous black tourmalinated quartz gemstone cabochon shown here is 28mm long.
Tourmalinated quartz is thought to act as an antidepressant. It is believed to relieve fears, phobias and anxiety. It is supposed to absorb mercury in cases of poisoning. It is thought to assist with impotence and infertility and help with exhaustion. Tourmalinated quartz is thought to assist with issues of the respiratory tract and thyroid.
