This two heart pendant was the second one I made for my sister.
She and I designed it together.
So cute!!

Nemo’s Nautilus
In keeping with the nautical theme I seem to have going, a diving bell a la Jules Verne is another piece that I made. Ok, so it’s not really a diving bell. But close one eye and it could be!!
I created this pendant for the goldsmithing training course that I am presently undertaking. The brief was fairly simple – make something incorporating a hollow ball! Great fun.
Garnet and Sterling Silver Art Deco Pendant
The first time I ever set a teardrop shaped stone was when I made this garnet and silver pendant for my oldest dearest friend.
My teacher helped with the design, and although one of the stones is not very well set, after four years I’m still pleased with the art deco look of this piece!
Eudialyte and Sterling Silver Pendant
I created this pendant for my dear friend Morgan some years ago. It was my first foray into creating schnörkels (my teachers have a German heritage, and at school that’s what are these things sometimes known as curlicues!) The gemstone is a piece of eudialyte from North Russia.
Looking back at it, I can see many imperfections. I think we’re all hypercritical of our own work, but this one in particular is very homemade to me. However, Morgan claims to love it still, and imperfections are all part of the learning curve, after all!!
I wonder if everyone looks back on their earlier work with a certain amount of cringeworthiness. Authors, actors, artists, musicians – we’re all putting ourselves out there in some way! Still, I created this with my own two hands (and some metal and stone 🙂 ), and that must be something to be proud of.
Twin Hearts
Twin hearts.. made for the lovely mummy of twins!!
I wanted these hearts to be a little bit unusual.
Haematite Pendant
I made this haematite pendant for Judy, my mother-in-law, as a birthday present.
It’s quite a statement piece!
