When your brother-in-law’s birthday comes around, what else do you give him but a custom made ring?

My lovely friend and supportive customer Elizabeth had a surprise recently, when she received this ring as an anniversary present!

Her husband, knowing Elizabeth likes my work, secretly commissioned me to make it for her.

I didn’t realise who it was for until I had nearly finished making it – then I finally put two and two together. I was so pleased! Happy anniversary, guys. May you have many, many more!

Sterling Silver Twisted Chain Necklace

Sterling Silver Twisted Chain

My beautiful Granny turned ninety-eight recently, and I created this sterling silver twisted chain necklace for her, to match the bracelet I made for her a while ago.

Sterling Silver Twisted Chain

With around two hundred and eighty links to be made, joined and soldered individually, it took a while to complete. I love the simplicity and the gorgeous way it rolls.

I’m planning a little blog post on the creation of it, so stay tuned for that.

Happy birthday, dearest Granny!

Sterling Silver Liverpool Football Club Initial Dangle Earrings

Sterling Silver Liverpool Football Club Dangle Earrings

I created these earrings for Danni, who must be Liverpool Football Club’s number one fan! Danni wanted some dangling LFC earrings to be as ‘bling!’ and noticeable as possible.

I designed these sterling silver earrings using the initials of the club, and added a silver Czech glass bead at the bottom.

Sterling Silver Mountain Range and Sleeping Cat Rings

Amy is visiting a couple of her dear friends in London very soon, and it will be their 30th birthdays while she is there. Amy wanted to give them something special! Together we designed a ring for each of them. A shared trip to the Andes was the inspiration for this ring:

and a love of cats is behind this one!

Sterling Silver Sleeping Cat Ring

As quite often happens when I’m creating rings as presents, it was a challenge for Amy to find out ring sizes without anyone guessing what she was up to.. in the end she managed to get them though!

Thanks, Amy, and I hope the girls enjoy their new rings!

Sterling Silver Coherent Wave Pendant

I was pleased to be contacted by the lovely Margaret, who asked if I would be able to create her a pendant from a symbol she had in mind.

Sterling Silver Coherent Wave Pendant

She is an artist, and this coherent wave symbol has become an important piece of her creative process.

I created this piece for Margaret to wear to the opening of her latest exhibition, ‘Bliss’, at the Lethbridge Gallery in Brisbane.

Margaret was kind enough to invite me to the opening, and I am in awe of her powerful, vibrant, beautiful works! If you’re anywhere near Paddington, it’s well worth stopping in to see these gorgeous paintings. Thank you so much, Margaret!
