I have a lovely sister, who has two lovely girls – my twin nieces.

I made this pendant for my sister’s birthday this year.

I saw two little girls with their heads together, reading or doing something crafty – although they could be dancing, or kissing. I love all three of those girls, super-much!

The stones come from my embarrassingly extensive gemstone collection.

If you’d like a set (or just one!) of your own, let me know – I’d love to make you some.

Tourmalinated quartz is such a lovely stone, and when my gorgeous client Jane chose this one from my gemstone collection for a ring to replace one that we had an issue with, I was very happy to create with it!

I still get such a buzz out of every ring that I make.

Boulder Opal and Sterling Silver Ring

My Granny likes opals, (I created this opal ring for her a few years ago), and I wanted to create her a ring that she could wear each day.

She admired this opal ring I made a dear friend, so I thought she would like one of her own! This stone is a boulder opal, which is found only here in Queensland, Australia.

I love my dearest Granny! xx

It’s not often you get asked to handcraft a llama!

I was commissioned by a lovely client to create this pendant as a farewell gift for a psychodrama therapist, who also breeds llamas. Yes, a psychodrama llama farmer.

I was very taken, both by the notion, and by the recipient! A joy to create.

One of my clients asked if I could create a pair of earrings to match this raw ruby ring.

I was able to source her some matching cabochons, and here is the end result!

I think they turned out pretty well. I was fond of that ring, too, so it was nice to see it going off to a good home!

A client emailed me to ask if I could help her with a costume jewellery piece she loved that had deteriorated and could no longer be worn.

As she could’t replace the piece, and it had been created in a cheap base metal, I was happy to replicate it for her in sterling silver.

Now it should last forever. Ah, the joys of working with precious metal!

I was approached by a new father, who wanted to have a special piece made for his partner to celebrate the birth of their first child.

Sterling Silver and Garnet Wave Pendant

The design idea started with the baby’s birthstone, which is garnet, and her mother’s love of water. I provided a few quick sketches, and the lovely dad and I worked together to finalise the design.

The baby’s name is stamped on the back of the pendant, making it the perfect piece to treasure for a lifetime!

Star Sapphire and Sterling Silver Circle Pendant

I created this pendant for my client Nick using a star sapphire that was his mum’s, which has great emotional value to him. It was previously set in a ring; and then in a bangle which had seen better days.

I was able to free the stone, and send it down to my lovely friend Annaig of Annaig’s Gemstudio​ to have a little gem-cutting done. Annaig worked her magic and made the back of the stone flat so that I could bezel set it.

I know Nick was really happy with the end result, and so am I – a modern masculine look for a treasured sapphire! Thanks to Annaig, and to another lovely friend, Lisa of Springwood Porcelain, who referred Nick to me!
