Sterling Silver ‘Gone Home’ Pendant

I created this pendant for Talitha, who wanted a piece to wear in memory of her father.

The symbol is a Scouting one, which means ‘Gone Home’. Talitha will have these words engraved on the pendant when she receives it.

AMOK Atoms for Peace Sterling Silver Cufflinks

Any fans of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM or Forro in the Dark may be familiar with Atoms for Peace, an alternative rock band with some very famous names in it!

AMOK Atoms for Peace Sterling Silver Cufflinks

These cufflinks were specially designed to incorporate features of the AMOK album cover, and created for a lovely customer to give to her husband, a diehard Radiohead fan.

Just between you and me, these were the first cufflinks I’ve ever made – they were great fun! The cufflink backs are prefabricated sterling silver, but the rest is all my own sawing work.

I wonder what  Thom Yorke, Flea, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco would think of them? 🙂

Sterling Silver Drusy Ring and Petoskey Cuff SetAfter a visit to see my gemstone collection in person, Robbie chose this piece of petoskey stone and piece of drusy agate to be made into a cuff and ring set for his partner.

Petoskey Stone and Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

I love the way the stones are completely different materials, yet still complement each other beautifully!

I finished the ring with a high polish and the cuff with a brushed finish to add some interest and set the off beautifully. Thanks, Robbie!

Family Crest Garnet and Sterling Silver Ring

Sterling Silver and Garnet Family Crest RingI created this ring for Scott to give to his wife for their wedding anniversary. He wanted to show her how much a part of his family she was by sharing his family crest with her in some way.

He provided me with some great information and some pictures of his traditional family crest. After quite a bit of design discussion, as this ring was to be feminine, we settled on using a portion of the drawing to create the feeling of the crest – I really loved this swirly winglike piece!

Using a garnet to symbolise the red that appeared throughout the family crest (and which, of course, also symbolises love), I was very very happy with the end result. Thanks so much, Scott, it was a pleasure to work with you!

Margaret, a lovely woman I met at my stall at the BrisStyle indie Markets, chose this stone from my gemstone collection, and commissioned me to create a pendant for her daughter’s birthday.

Cherry Creek Jasper and Sterling Silver Pendant

I spent quite a while deciding whether to have the stone pointing up or down – I went with down as you can see! The granulation just adds a little something, I think.

Thank you so much, Margaret, and I hope that your daughter loves her new pendant!

I think the silver end cap spheres set off the hammered texture nicely!
