The lovely Charmaine, for whom I have previously created this ring, this ring, this ring and this ring for, asked me to make her friend a ring from this fabulous round peacock blue drusy agate cabochon.
Unfortunately, we managed to get Charmaine’s friend’s ring size a little confused –
so Charmaine is keeping this one for herself, and I’ll create another for her friend. As always it is such a pleasure to create for her! Thanks, Charmaine!
My dearest friend commissioned me to create a smoky quartz pendant for her mum’s birthday – I was so pleased, as her mum is one of the reasons I began silversmithing – her collection of wonderful statement pieces stayed in my mind from when I was small!
I found her the most amazing faceted cabochon, which inspired my design.
It is one of my favourite pieces to date, and I was honoured to create it! 🙂
Via email, Maggie and I went through some choices from my gemstone collection, and I sent her pictures of a couple of stones that I hadn’t listed yet.
She chose this pale pink drusy agate, which is just divine!
Thanks, Maggie, it was a pleasure to create this ring for you. I’m looking forward to our next collaboration!
Jeff contacted me to see if I could create a pendant using an opal that he got in the opal fields.
The pendant was to be a birthday gift for his wife.
I was glad to be able to help, and I think the end result is great! Thanks, Jeff!
I was listing some new additions to my gemstone collection on my FaceBook page, and Sarah fell in love with this stormy blue drusy cabochon.
She messaged me, and we arranged for it to be made into a ring for her.
Thanks, Sarah, this was a gorgeous ring to create, and you were lovely to work with!
I created this pendant and earrings set in collaboration with a beautiful customer. We worked together to match the stones and come up with the design idea.
The shape of the pieces mirror the pattern in the drusy. The pieces are for a gift for Sonia’s daughter, a Taurean – the stones are both birthstones for the sign of Taurus, so very fitting!
Thanks so much, Sonia, it was such a pleasure and an honour to collaborate with you.
I created this cross for a lovely customer to give her partner.
It is a birthday gift, and replaces a cross that was lost.
The cross is hollow, so it is large but light, and structurally interesting. It was great fun to create!
I’m always pleased to create custom pieces for people using gemstones from my ever-growing collection, and this was no exception!
What made this chrysocolla pendant special is that it’s for a birthday girl, from a group of her friends – and I got to meet the person who commissioned it.
Chrysocolla is one of my favourite stones at the moment – if you’d like your very own chrysocolla piece, just let me know!
Ages ago, my lovely sister wondered if I could create a silver bow for her to wear.
I stored that request in my (not so great!) memory bank, and created this bow recently as a gift for her birthday.
Happy, happy birthday to my dear, gorgeous, wonderful sister!!
