I created this for my bestie’s birthday. We had been laughing about how I’m not a fan of mustard coloured things. She is! š
And it will be divine with her colouring, too.
Happy birthday, dearest Morgan!

Smoky Quartz and Sterling Silver Pendant
My dearest friend commissioned me to create a smoky quartz pendant for her mum’s birthday – I was so pleased, as her mum is one of the reasons I began silversmithing – her collection of wonderful statement pieces stayed in my mind from when I was small!
I found her the most amazing faceted cabochon, which inspired my design.
It is one of my favourite pieces to date, and I was honoured to create it! š
Sterling Silver and Opal Pendant
Jeff contacted me to see if I could create a pendant using an opal that he got in the opal fields.
The pendant was to be a birthday gift for his wife.
I was glad to be able to help, andĀ I think the end result is great! Thanks, Jeff!
Pale Green Drusy Agate Pendant and Aventurine Earring Set
I created this pendant and earrings set in collaboration with a beautiful customer.Ā We worked together to match the stones and come up with the design idea.
The shape of the pieces mirror the pattern in the drusy. The pieces are for a gift for Sonia’s daughter, a Taurean – the stones are both birthstones for the sign of Taurus, so very fitting!
Thanks so much, Sonia, it was such a pleasure and an honour to collaborateĀ with you.
Chrysocolla and Sterling Silver Granulation Pendant
I’m always pleased to create custom pieces for people using gemstones from my ever-growing collection, and this was no exception!
What made this chrysocolla pendant special is that it’s for a birthday girl, from a group of her friends – and I got to meet the person who commissioned it.
Chrysocolla is one of my favourite stones at the moment – if you’d like your very own chrysocolla piece, just let me know!
Heart Shaped Sea Glass and Sterling Silver Claw Set Pendant
Alana had me create this seaglass and sterling silver pendant for a friend of hers a little while ago, and she asked me if I would be able to create her a pendant using a piece of seaglass that she had found.
It’s a lovely heartshaped piece, beautifully soft from its time in the ocean!
I think it looks as good from the reverse as it does from the front. I hope Alana enjoys it!
Captain America Winter Soldier Sterling Silver Pendant
I had a request for a Captain America themed pendant for a daughter’s 16th birthday.
She loved the new Winter Soldier breastplate – so I recreated it in silver. It went off to California, and I hope it was well received!
Chrysocolla and Sterling Silver Pendant
When I came across this beautiful piece of chrysocolla, I just knew I had to have it!Ā My mum has a gorgeous close-up print of the bark of a gum tree hanging in her house, and this reminded me very much of that.
After some deliberation, and some collaboration, I created this pendant for her.
I was really happy with the way this piece turned out – I think it is one of my favs so far!
Peridot and Sterling Silver Family Intials Pendant
My good friend Narelle asked if I could create a pendant for her to give to a good friend of hers.
Narelle sent me some sketches of ideas she had, and we agreed on this design, which incorporates the first initial of the name of each of the members of the family.
I’m pleased with the way this one turned out, I think it’s effective – and I do love peridot! Thanks, Nez!
Seraphinite and Sterling Silver Pendant
I created this pendant for my best friend. Her lovely father passed away recently, and she needed something to wear close to her heart.Ā Seraphim were angels, and seraphinite is named because of the feathery appearance of the stone, so is a lovely choice for this piece.
I designed it to have six feathery figures gathered around the stone, to represent Mick’s six children.Ā Morgan said the pattern also reminded her of olive branches, which was lovely, as her dad used to take her walking in olive groves.
Seraphinite is believed to promote self healing and aid with contacting the spirit world.
I love you my dear friend, and I hope some gentle peace comes your way.
