Star Sapphire and Sterling Silver 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!

Pink Opal and Sterling Silver Ring

I do make more petite rings sometimes, and this pink faceted opal cabochon from my small gemstone collection was just perfect for the occasion!

My lovely son asked me to create a ring for a friend of his. Her favourite colour is pink – so what better stone?

I designed the setting to bring the pink opal away from the finger where it might otherwise be lost, but is still small enough for a dainty ring wearer! Love you my son. xx

Mojave Green Turquoise and Sterling Silver Oval Ring

After seeing a mohave green turquoise ring I created for another client, Karen fell in love and wanted one of her very own!

I was able to source another mojave green turquoise cabochon, and create this ring.

Thanks, Karen – it’s a stunner!

Neon Apatite and Labradorite Sterling Silver Bangle

One of my dearest old school friends asked if I could create a bangle for his daughter’s 16th birthday.

He sent me a sketch of what he wanted, and described the ocean feel he was looking for in the stones.

This piece was truly a pleasure to create, it just flowed together beautifully. Happy birthday, Sophie! xx
