Black Onyx Statement Necklace

Rosie, one of my lovely clients, commissioned me to create this necklace for her. It is completely handcrafted from sterling silver and black onyx, and the cabochons were cut specially for this commission by the lovely and talented Annaig from Annaig’s Gemstudio.

I’m often wowed by the ideas and requests I receive, and this was one of those times.

It’s a real statement piece, and I envisage it being worn by generations. It’s a privilege to do this kind of work for such wonderful people. Thank you, Rosie!

Opal and Sterling Silver Ring

My lovely friend Kylie asked me if I would be able to take an opal pendant that her Nan had given her, and use the opal to make a ring.

I was very happy to try. The pendant was sweet, but just not Kylie’s thing.

I was able to get the stone out, and set it in a simple silver bezel.

Super happy result! Bless you, Nan!

Mookaite Ring

Adam was after a piece to give his partner for a special day. Mookaite has some significance to them, so Adam chose this cabochon that I had in my collection.

I love this cab – look at that little fish that occurred as part of the natural pattern of the rock!

As always, I like to keep the ring setting simple so that the gorgeous stone can be the centrepiece. Fabulous!

Variscite Ring

My gorgeous friend Marg and her lovely daughter Kim came to visit, and chose this piece of variscite for me to create a ring in time for Kim’s birthday.

That soft green is complimented beautifully by silver! Such a magical material!

I was so pleased to make this ring, and I hope it is a favourite for years to come!

Peridot Ring

Jen, a lovely friend of mine, commissioned me to make her a ring to replace her engagement ring, which she accidentally threw out with the potato peelings 50 years ago!
