Holly sent me a picture and asked if I could make it into a pendant.
She wanted it as a gift for a friend of hers. So cute!

silver lotus flower pendant ~ handmade with love
Robert saw the silver lotus flower pendant I created for my bestie’s yoga teacher, and asked if I could make him one for his girl.
He chose a black leather choker for the piece, which nicely changes the feel. It looks just as amazing as the brown I used on the previous one I made.
The lotus flower is also known as a water lily. As well as the gorgeous flower, it has the most amazing seed pod!
Sterling Silver Lotus Flower Pendant
One of my lovely everlasting besties asked me to make a lotus flower for her yoga teacher.
It was a joy to create!
Variscite Pendant
My dear friend Aimee asked me to make her a green pendant. I searched around for a stone that she would love and found this fabulous variscite cabochon.
Symmetrical, with just enough inclusions to make it apparent that it is a real piece of the earth, in such an amazing colour, it suits Aimee down to the ground!
I know Aimee loves quirky love hearts, so I added a secret one on the reverse of the pendant. I was happy that I completed it in time it to give it to her as a birthday present. Love you Miss Aimee!
Forget-me-not Sterling Silver Pendants
Earlier in the year I had a weekend away with some of my closest high school friends ~ some of whom I had not seen for thirty years! We felt just as in tune and had just as much fun as we did way back at school, and I feel totally fortunate to have such beautiful people in my life.
I wanted to create us all a memento of our weekend, and the girls chose forget-me-nots – so apt!
I loved making these – I love all the recipients, too. Happy days!
Twins Sterling Silver Pendant
I have a lovely sister, who has two lovely girls – my twin nieces.
I made this pendant for my sister’s birthday this year.
I saw two little girls with their heads together, reading or doing something crafty – although they could be dancing, or kissing. I love all three of those girls, super-much!
Sterling Silver Llama Pendant
It’s not often you get asked to handcraft a llama!
I was commissioned by a lovely client to create this pendant as a farewell gift for a psychodrama therapist, who also breeds llamas. Yes, a psychodrama llama farmer.
I was very taken, both by the notion, and by the recipient! A joy to create.
Sterling Silver Crown Pendant
A client emailed me to ask if I could help her with a costume jewellery piece she loved that had deteriorated and could no longer be worn.
As she could’t replace the piece, and it had been created in a cheap base metal, I was happy to replicate it for her in sterling silver.
Now it should last forever. Ah, the joys of working with precious metal!
Almandine Garnet and Wave Sterling Silver Pendant
I was approached by a new father, who wanted to have a special piece made for his partner to celebrate the birth of their first child.
The design idea started with the baby’s birthstone, which is garnet, and her mother’s love of water. I provided a few quick sketches, and the lovely dad and I worked together to finalise the design.
The baby’s name is stamped on the back of the pendant, making it the perfect piece to treasure for a lifetime!
Star Sapphire and Sterling Silver Pendant
I created this pendant for my client Nick using a star sapphire that was his mum’s, which has great emotional value to him. It was previously set in a ring; and then in a bangle which had seen better days.
I was able to free the stone, and send it down to my lovely friend Annaig of Annaig’s Gemstudio to have a little gem-cutting done. Annaig worked her magic and made the back of the stone flat so that I could bezel set it.
I know Nick was really happy with the end result, and so am I – a modern masculine look for a treasured sapphire! Thanks to Annaig, and to another lovely friend, Lisa of Springwood Porcelain, who referred Nick to me!
