I made these annuli shaped pendants for a lovely customer. She is going to have them engraved with some dates that have a very special meaning to her, as part of a healing process.
I was so glad to play a small part in this story!

Sterling Silver Mountain Range and Sleeping Cat Rings
Amy is visiting a couple of her dear friends in London very soon, and it will be their 30th birthdays while she is there. Amy wanted to give them something special! Together we designed a ring for each of them. A shared trip to the Andes was the inspiration for this ring:
and a love of cats is behind this one!
As quite often happens when I’m creating rings as presents, it was a challenge for Amy to find out ring sizes without anyone guessing what she was up to.. in the end she managed to get them though!
Thanks, Amy, and I hope the girls enjoy their new rings!
Sterling Silver Coherent Wave Pendant
I was pleased to be contacted by the lovely Margaret, who asked if I would be able to create her a pendant from a symbol she had in mind.
She is an artist, and this coherent wave symbol has become an important piece of her creative process.
I created this piece for Margaret to wear to the opening of her latest exhibition, ‘Bliss’, at the Lethbridge Gallery in Brisbane.
Surrender – Margaret Ingles
Margaret was kind enough to invite me to the opening, and I am in awe of her powerful, vibrant, beautiful works! If you’re anywhere near Paddington, it’s well worth stopping in to see these gorgeous paintings. Thank you so much, Margaret!
Malachite and Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet
My dear friend Carmen asked me to create a malachite bracelet for her husband, Vaji.
Malachite is believed to assist with success in business.
Good luck, Vaji, and thank you, Carmen.
If you’re in the market for a new mortgage, let me know – Vaji is your man!
Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Dish Ring
It was lovely to be emailed by Kel, who had a request for a custom made ring to start off her bespoke jewellery collection.
I just love the idea of that! (As an aside, my small son found me this leaf just as I was photographing Kel’s ring – I think they look great together. 🙂 )
Using a freshwater pearl, I created a sterling silver dome for it to sit in.
It’s really quite difficult to photograph highly polished curved surfaces, but you get the general idea. I like the shine coupled with the soft pearl! Thanks, Kel!
Sterling Silver Domed Stud Earrings
I created these earrings for Sarah, as a gift for a friend of hers.
I don’t usually create stud earrings, but these were fun to make, and I think I’m inspired to create more!
Simple and elegant. Thanks, Sarah!
Sterling Silver Captain America Ring
It was my older son’s eighteenth birthday recently, and I knew that a Captain America ring was high on his long term list of desires.
I was very glad to create one for him.
Happy birthday, my very lovely son!
(P.S. I have promised my son that this will be the only Captain America shield piece I will ever make ~ that way it’s completely unique to him from me ~ however if you have a different Captain America idea, or another Super Hero that you love, I’d be glad to help out!)
Moonstone and Sterling Silver Seahorse Pendant
A customer wanted a pendant for a dear friend of hers who lives on the other side of the world. Moonstones and the ocean were the theme!
The faceted stone is a grey moonstone, and the rounded one is a white moonstone.
I’m pleased with this little seahorse!
Sterling Silver Forget-Me-Not Charm Bracelets
I created these forget-me-not charm bracelets as a memento for customer whose friend is moving away. The sterling silver chain is pre-made, but the clasps and the charms are handcrafted, as always!
One bracelet each, to remember each other by! What a gorgeous idea.
Sterling Silver, Garnet and Cairngorm Tree of Life Pendant
My best friend asked me to create a tree of life pendant for her lovely sister for her birthday.
To me, the brown of the smoky quartz (also known as cairngorm) represents the earth, and the red of the almandine garnet represents the fruit of the tree.
I wanted this tree to have a different, softer feel that the tree of life ring I made. So glad to hear the lovely El likes it!
