This blue chalcedony and silver ring was a custom creation for Carla. Carla is a lovely client from Goulburn, Australia which is not far from Canberra where I grew up. I have family in Goulburn, too!

Carla liked the rings she saw in The Silver Forge shop, but was keen to have one made specifically in her size. She chose the gorgeous piece of blue chalcedony from the gemstone selection I have available.

I do have some more chalcedony in my gemstone collection, so if you would like your own blue chalcedony and silver ring, get in touch. It’s so nice to have a bespoke piece made for yourself!

You can read more about blue chalcedony in the blog post I wrote. There’s also some great information to be found here.

Charoite and Sterling Silver Ring

I made this charoite and silver ring as my lovely client Emma needed a purple ring. I sourced this beautiful piece of charoite for her.

Emma came to collect it along with a couple of her other Silver Forge rings which I gave some TLC to for her. She was very happy with it!

Natasha contacted me after she saw my work on FaceBook, to ask if I could make her partner a ring.

After some lovely email chat, I sourced a stone for her partner, and Natasha asked if I could also turn the piece of charoite I had in my gemstone collection into a ring for her mum.

I’m so pleased with the way this turned out; I think it’s gorgeous, and Natasha and her mum do too. I’m working on Natasha’s next ring now. I love my job!

I created these Czech glass and sterling silver clip-on earrings at the request of Trish, a customer of mine.

The clips are premade, as it’s just not practical to try to make them myself.

She was very pleased with how comfortable they were, and I’m creating her another pair as we speak!

 

Lepidolite Oval Cabochon

Lepidolite Oval Cabochon

The wonderful lepidolite gemstone cabochon shown here is 35mm long.  It is available to be handcrafted into a custom made ring or pendant for you. This stone comes from Africa.

Lepidolite is a form of mica. It is one of the major sources of the rare alkali metals rubidium and caesium. In 1861 Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff extracted 150 kg of lepidolite and yielded a few grams of rubidium salts for analysis, and therefore discovered the new element rubidium.

Lepidolite is understood to be a stone of joy and gratitude, teaching us to truly express without inhibitions or fears of failure. It assists in bringing peace out of chaos and balance out of imbalance. Lepidolite is thought to dispel negative energies.
