I made this hessonite garnet and feather ring for a client to give to his partner.
The infinity feather is her business logo. The stone is hessonite garnet, and is such a gorgeous glowing orange colour!

Maria, whom I previously created a gorgeous ocean wave jasper ring for, wanted a drusy agate ring too.
I was happy to show her the stones I have available! She chose this divine orange one.
Thanks Maria! I confess I love this piece of drusy so much, I bought a similar stone in the same colour to make a ring just for me!
I custom made Charmaine a ring a while back. She fell in love with drusy agate gemstones, and asked me to make her a second ring.
She chose an orange drusy this time, and it’s gorgeous!!
It’s so lovely to create beautiful things for nice people. Thanks, Charmaine!! 🙂
The first project for the goldsmithing course I am doing this year was to design a piece incorporating a bearing seat setting method (a ledge put inside the bezel wall for the stone to sit on), and one or more 12mm or larger stones in either a ring or pendant, with texture. I fell in love with these carnelian cabochons, and had to use them in my piece! Carnelians can be quite brown, but these orange ones are just delicious! I’ve got my eye out for some spessartite garnet cabs which can also be that lovely glowing tangerine colour.
It was a great fun project, both the designing and the making of it! With each project, we have to come up with the concept, do a tech drawing of it, do an art drawing of it, and of course create it. So much fun!
