Pomegranate Red Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

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!

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!

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!

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!
