A lovely couple came to me as they were getting married and they were after some unique wedding rings.
They wondered if I could create some with an Aztec theme. So that the rings would be especially personal for them, I got the husband to be to draw up the matching designs.
Labradorite is a type of feldspar consisting of between 30-50% Albite and 50-70% Anorthite. It was named after peninsula of Labrador in Canada, where it was first found.
Labradorite shows labradorescence – a schiller effect in lustrous metallic tints, often blue and green, and sometimes the complete spectrum. This effect is also found in moonstone.
Labradorite is believed to stimulate imagination, help develop enthusiasm and to see more clearly in meditation. it is thought to assist with disorders of the eyes and brain and to relieve anxiety.
It is supposed to balance hormones and relieve menstrual tension; and regulate metabolism. Labradorite is used to treat colds, gout, and rheumatism, lower blood pressure, and aid in digestion.
I have some gorgeous labradorite cabochons just waiting to be turned into beautiful jewellery for you – you can find them in my gemstone collection. Let me know what you’d like created!
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!
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 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!
