One of my dear besties prefers a thinner smaller ring to my usual style, so as I was wondering what to make her for her birthday, I suddenly thought of this lovely opal that I bought a while ago. I loved it, but hadn’t found the right design for it.
Suddenly it was clear! I created a fine setting for it, and mailed it off to my bestie.
I hope she continues to love it and enjoy wearing it! Happy birthday dearest Soph!
Apparently tie bars are coming back into fashion, and I created this one with a company’s logo on it for the company to give to a tie-wearing long-term employee.
A nice way for them to recognize his many years of service!
The lovely Maggie, who previously chose a lovely pink drusy from my collection for me to create this ring for her, asked if I could create a ring with a stone that she provided.
I was happy to help, and this ring is the end result!
A gorgeous deep tourmalinated quartz, set in the simplest of surrounds, looking just fabulous. Thanks, Maggie!
I was excited to be invited to the 39th Annual Derinya Art and Craft Exhibition, and I’ve just sent off a parcel of all of these pieces to be displayed (and made available for sale).
The exhibition is on from 18th to 20th July in Frankston South, Victoria. Here’s hoping it goes well. If you’re in the area, do call in and let me know what it’s like!
I recently created this custom made sterling silver cuff, which depicts an Aboriginal symbol representing travelling (with the circles representing a resting place/watering hole).
My client was pleased with the rustic branch or sand drawing-like nature I gave the symbol, and he has given it to his friend to remind her of her connection to her home while she goes ‘walkabout’. I really enjoy making meaningful pieces for people!
