My lovely client Rosie loved a pearl ring I’d created for another customer and wanted one of her own.
I made her this one. Pearls and silver look so gorgeous together!
It was lovely to be emailed by Kel, who had a request for a custom made ring to start off her bespoke jewellery collection.
I just love the idea of that! (As an aside, my small son found me this leaf just as I was photographing Kel’s ring – I think they look great together. 🙂 )
Using a freshwater pearl, I created a sterling silver dome for it to sit in.
It’s really quite difficult to photograph highly polished curved surfaces, but you get the general idea. I like the shine coupled with the soft pearl! Thanks, Kel!
I received an email from Sharon recently, asking if I could make a ring for her similar to this one which I created for her daughter.
Sharon wanted the same style, but a grey pearl instead of a cream one.
I love the luminescence of the pearl against the silky feel of the silver.
Thanks, Sharon, it was lovely to make this ring for you!
This pearl ring was a recent commission piece – a nice big Kasumi style pearl in a simple sterling silver setting.
Jade provided the design, and was just lovely to work with!
I learned a lot about pearls while making this ring. The mussel that grows this particular kind of pearl makes pearls with a lot of texture and variations in color. I really like that idea, as I like the “grown by mother nature” feel provided by some bumps and imperfections. A bit like all of us, really!!
