Sterling Silver and Amazonite, Chrysoprase, Topaz, and Turquoise Infinity Pendant

My lovely friend Margaret is an artist, and I met her when she commissioned me to create this coherent wave pendant for her to wear to her art exhibition, Bliss.

The symbol is for infinity, of course, and also represents the number eight, which is a very lucky number in Asia and kept cropping up throughout Margaret’s painting journey!

We selected the turquoise, chrysoprase and amazonite as they were such delicious water colours, and I added the sparkling white topaz which reminds me of the sparkling water too.

Indigo Czech Glass and Sterling Silver Jewellery Set

Toni fell in love with the indigo beads on these earrings, and after she had purchased herself a pair, she wondered if I could create her a matching bracelet and necklace.

Toni loves them, and has received lots of compliments. Happy all round!

Sterling Silver Aztec Wedding Rings

A lovely couple came to me as they were getting married and they were after some unique wedding rings.

They wondered if I could create some with an Aztec theme. So that the rings would be especially personal for them, I got the husband to be to draw up the matching designs.

Gorgeous! I hope the wedding was too!

Garnet and Sterling Silver Circles Ring

Circles, endlessly wonderful. I created this ring for myself, as I wanted something to match a pair of earrings I made that I wear a lot.

The design came to me as I was daydreaming before I went to sleep one night.

I really love this ring!
