Petrol Pink Titanium Coated Drusy Ring

I met my lovely client Kate when she visited me with a friend of hers who was having a piece made. She fell in love with this petrol pink titanium coated drusy agate cabochon and asked if I could make her a ring with it.

I was so happy to do that! The drusy has been treated (see my blog posts about treatments here), and I think it’s gorgeous.

Kate is the owner of the hair & makeup salon Peach Industries on the Tasman Peninsula, and does totally amazing things with hair.

I’m loving the similarities here! Maybe you’d like your own ring made with a similar stone? Let me know!

Parrot Wing Chrysocolla and Sterling Silver Ring

Natasha, one of my gorgeous clients, found this parrot wing chrysocolla cabochon in my collection and fell in love with it.

She asked if the sides of the shank could come up over the stone to provide more protection and to enhance the beauty of the ring.

I’m always happy to try to work with my client’s vision!

Green Labradorite and Sterling Silver Ring

After seeing this opal ring that I made on FaceBook, Alina chose this gorgeous piece of labradorite from my gemstone collection and asked me to make her a ring.

Originally she wanted it to have two small smoky quartz cabochons beside it, but this stone was too large to fit them all together on a finger!

I think it’s pretty fabulous just by itself, anyway. The stone was more amazing than my mediocre photography skills could do justice to!

Tourmalinated Quartz and Sterling Silver Men’s Ring

My lovely client Natasha found me when she saw on FaceBook this ring that I had made. She asked me to source a tourmalinated quartz cabochon for her partner, and I was happy to be able to do that for her.

Philipp is a jazz musician, and needed something that would not impede his playing.

I think we nailed it!

Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Ring

My lovely client Rosie loved a pearl ring I’d created for another customer and wanted one of her own.

I made her this one. Pearls and silver look so gorgeous together!

Opal and Sterling Silver Ring

My lovely friend Kylie asked me if I would be able to take an opal pendant that her Nan had given her, and use the opal to make a ring.

I was very happy to try. The pendant was sweet, but just not Kylie’s thing.

I was able to get the stone out, and set it in a simple silver bezel.

Super happy result! Bless you, Nan!

Mookaite Ring

Adam was after a piece to give his partner for a special day. Mookaite has some significance to them, so Adam chose this cabochon that I had in my collection.

I love this cab – look at that little fish that occurred as part of the natural pattern of the rock!

As always, I like to keep the ring setting simple so that the gorgeous stone can be the centrepiece. Fabulous!

Faceted Black Onyx and Sterling Silver Ring

Ever-popular, faceted checkerboard black onyx makes a fabulous everyday ring.

This one was created for my lovely friend and client Maria – adding to her collection! Thanks Maria!

Variscite Ring

My gorgeous friend Marg and her lovely daughter Kim came to visit, and chose this piece of variscite for me to create a ring in time for Kim’s birthday.

That soft green is complimented beautifully by silver! Such a magical material!

I was so pleased to make this ring, and I hope it is a favourite for years to come!

Peridot Ring

Jen, a lovely friend of mine, commissioned me to make her a ring to replace her engagement ring, which she accidentally threw out with the potato peelings 50 years ago!

This ring is set with a lovely, high domed peridot, and is designed to fit with her wedding ring.

It was a joy to create, and Jen was an absolute delight to work with. I love what I do!
