This gothic cross was commissioned for a friend of a friend, as a replacement for an existing costume piece.
The oxidisation gives it a worn feel, and enhances the detail. I like the look!

Hammer Finish Sterling Silver Ring
I created this ring for a client who is getting married.
He is into metallurgy and smithing, so a sterling silver ring with a hammered finish was the way to go!
Simple, timeless and elegant – what a nice wedding ring!
Tuareg Style Sterling Silver Ring
A client’s husband had lost his fulani wedding ring from Mali, so I created this custom made ring for him in the same tuareg style.
I was so pleased to hear that they both think it’s perfect! I love making my clients happy (and receiving such lovely feedback is a bonus, too!)
Green Freeform Drusy Ring
One of my lovely regulars, Karen, reserved this stone from my collection, and when she was ready, asked me to create her a ring.
We worked on the design together, and I love Karen’s request for a wire border of silver around the stone.
Love the sparkly crystals in that drusy!
Pomegranate Red Drusy Ring
One of my lovely regular customers, Niki, commissioned me to make this ring as a gift for someone close to her.
I always love making rings, I think it’s partly because they’re one of my favourite pieces to wear, too!
Thanks, Niki, I hope Angela liked her gift!
Petrol Pink Titanium Coated Drusy Ring
I met my lovely client Kate when she visited me with a friend of hers who was having a piece made. She fell in love with this petrol pink titanium coated drusy agate cabochon and asked if I could make her a ring with it.
I was so happy to do that! The drusy has been treated (see my blog posts about treatments here), and I think it’s gorgeous.
Kate is the owner of the hair & makeup salon Peach Industries on the Tasman Peninsula, and does totally amazing things with hair.
I’m loving the similarities here! Maybe you’d like your own ring made with a similar stone? Let me know!
Parrot Wing Chrysocolla and Sterling Silver Ring
Natasha, one of my gorgeous clients, found this parrot wing chrysocolla cabochon in my collection and fell in love with it.
She asked if the sides of the shank could come up over the stone to provide more protection and to enhance the beauty of the ring.
I’m always happy to try to work with my client’s vision!
Green Labradorite and Sterling Silver Ring
After seeing this opal ring that I made on FaceBook, Alina chose this gorgeous piece of labradorite from my gemstone collection and asked me to make her a ring.
Originally she wanted it to have two small smoky quartz cabochons beside it, but this stone was too large to fit them all together on a finger!
I think it’s pretty fabulous just by itself, anyway. The stone was more amazing than my mediocre photography skills could do justice to!
Tourmalinated Quartz and Sterling Silver Men’s Ring
My lovely client Natasha found me when she saw on FaceBook this ring that I had made. She asked me to source a tourmalinated quartz cabochon for her partner, and I was happy to be able to do that for her.
Philipp is a jazz musician, and needed something that would not impede his playing.
I think we nailed it!
Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Ring
My lovely client Rosie loved a pearl ring I’d created for another customer and wanted one of her own.
I made her this one. Pearls and silver look so gorgeous together!
