Opal, Peridot and Sterling Silver Ring

Opal, Peridot and Sterling Silver Ring

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!

What a wonderful thing it is to have kindred spirits in this world. One of them for me is a very dear bestie who I have been friends with since first grade.

This year, I felt she needed to soar among the clouds – so when I came across this cleverly constructed agate and turquoise doublet cabochon, it was just the thing!

I hadn’t made a brooch before, so this is a prototype really – I’m hopeful that it will withstand the test of time!

My gorgeous friend Marg, who is an artist (you can view her beautiful work here on her website), commissioned me to create this ring for one of her daughters.

Marg’s daughter chose this divine drusy agate cabochon, as it reminded her of a supernova. As soon as Marg told me I could see how very apt this imagery is!

It is always a joy to work with a fellow artist who appreciates not just my work, but the underlying complexities of being a creative type. Thanks as always, dear Marg!

One of the benefits of being part of organising a school reunion is that along the way, you get back in touch with some lovely people that you haven’t seen since your high school days.

I was thrilled to be commissioned to create this lapis lazuli ring for one of these gorgeous friends (there is a love story attached to this friend and the reunion, but that is a tale for another day!)

Could there be much better than creating a thing of beauty for a person with a beautiful heart?

A lovely client, for whom I had previously made this ring, saw these raw ruby pieces that I created and was taken with the idea of a matching set. She asked me if I could source her some special stones.

After a bit of discussion about what colourway she would like, I presented Bek with a few different options – and she fell in love instantly with these totally divine chrysoprase cabochons. So did I, so I was really pleased when she chose them!

I love this set, and it was a joy to create. Let me know if you’d like your own – I’m always happy to go on a rock shopping spree!!

I previously created this cross for a lovely customer to give her partner.

As my client’s partner is a personal trainer, the dimensions my client requested turned out to be a little large for everyday wear – so she asked if I could construct a second cross, leaving the first one for special occasions.

I enjoyed revisiting this process – thanks, Bella!

I love all the cabochons I source, but once in a while I come across a cabochon that I just can’t part with. This grey drusy agate is one of those.

I love this ring, and I’ve been wearing it nearly every day!

She came to visit me, and after checking out my collection of gemstones chose this piece of moss agate, which she felt would really suit her tall Nordic girlfriend.

I was so pleased with the way this ring turned out – it was a pleasure to create it!

One of my gorgeous clients, who has a great collection of Silver Forge rings, asked if I could create her a ring with this piece of agatised fossil coral from my gemstone collection.

This stone is enormous, and I was happy to accept the challenge!

Forget-me-not Sterling Silver Pendants and Rings

Earlier in the year I had a weekend away with some of my closest high school friends ~ some of whom I had not seen for thirty years! We felt just as in tune and had just as much fun as we did way back at school, and I feel totally fortunate to have such beautiful people in my life.

Forget-me-not Sterling Silver Pendants and Rings

I wanted to create us all a memento of our weekend, and the girls chose forget-me-nots – so apt!

I loved making these – I love all the recipients, too. Happy days!
