A lucky girl is going to be the recipient of this matched set of sterling silver spiral ring and earrings for Christmas this year!
Peter emailed me a description, a couple of photos and a quick sketch of the style he was after, and I took it from there.
I think the silver end cap spheres set off the hammered texture nicely!
These were fun to make, and I hope they will be well received. Thanks, Peter!
The Silver Forge has very kindly been invited to have a market stall at ‘Christmas By Grace‘, so this Saturday, if you’re in Brisbane, why not come along!
‘Christmas by Grace’ is Grace Lutheran Primary School’s Christmas fundraising event, comprising of twilight market stalls, amusements for children, ‘Carols by Candlelight’ and fireworks to end the night. It will be held on Dalton Oval, 38 Maine Road, Clontarf on Saturday, 30th November, from 3.00 – 9.00pm. I’d love to see you there!
When this hueso handcarved bone cabochon arrived at our house, I nearly kept it for myself, but my son instantly said how cool it was, and asked if he could get me to custom make a pendant for his friend, Charlotte.
The moon face is so serene!
I learned a little bit about bone and bone carving while I made it. I am always so pleased to know there are such talented people in our world!
When your brother-in-law’s birthday comes around, what else do you give him but a custom made ring?
This ring is sterling silver, and I oxidised it with liver of sulphur to give it a fabulous matte black finish.
Perfect for a rockstar cool guy. While you’re marvelling, check out Silence The Sun* – a totally rad** band!
*Husbands may or may not also be part of said band
**Radness may not be just in the eye of close family members
Judy loves drusy, just like me, and she asked me if I could source a black drusy stone for her and create a ring.
Of course, I was happy to!
Now this ring is off to a new home in Switzerland. Thanks, Judy!
This matching mauve bluebell drusy agate and sterling silver ring and cuff are a 21st birthday gift from my lovely customer to her niece.
Meg chose these drusy cabochons after some deliberation.. she has quite an eye for fabulous combinations!
I hope they bring many years of joy. Thanks, Meg!
My lovely friend and supportive customer Elizabeth had a surprise recently, when she received this ring as an anniversary present!
Her husband, knowing Elizabeth likes my work, secretly commissioned me to make it for her.
I didn’t realise who it was for until I had nearly finished making it – then I finally put two and two together. I was so pleased! Happy anniversary, guys. May you have many, many more!
On the first Sunday of each month, the Young Designers Market is held in Little Stanley Street, at South Bank, Brisbane, between 10am and 4pm. The Silver Forge was fortunate enough to be selected to have a stall there, so on 2nd November, I set up in a marquee under a shady tree. It really is a lovely market, and I had such a great time and met lots of lovely people!
I’m hoping to be there again on December 1st, so make a note on your calendar, take a stroll down the strip to check out the gorgeous handcrafted work, and make sure you stop by The Silver Forge stall, won’t you!
On Saturday 9th November from 9am to 3pm at the Brisbane City Hall, Ann Street, Brisbane, The Silver Forge is off to market again!
Pop in, shop for beautiful handcrafted things in air-conditioned comfort, and make sure you stop by The Silver Forge stall, won’t you!
I created this ring for Cam, who wanted a masculine ring to wear.
We worked together on the design of the ring, emailing ideas back and forth until we were both happy!
Cam is very happy with his new ring, and we’re already designing his next piece. Stay tuned. Thanks, Cam! 🙂
