Black Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

Black Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

The lovely Leesa, who I created this ring for, recently chose this superb black drusy agate cabochon to be made into a ring.

Grey Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Ring

I received an email from Sharon recently, asking if I could make a ring for her similar to this one which I created for her daughter.

Grey Pearl and Sterling Silver Ring

Sharon wanted the same style, but a grey pearl instead of a cream one.

I love the luminescence of the pearl against the silky feel of the silver.

Thanks, Sharon, it was lovely to make this ring for you!

Sterling Silver Gumleaves Pendant

Sterling Silver Gumleaves Pendant

I received a request to make a pendant with an Australian theme for a wee Irish girl. I designed this little gumleaf pendant for her.

I didn’t want to be too typically Australian, and liked the subtlety of the gumleaves and gumnuts.

The initial idea for the leaf construction came from a good friend and ex-classmate. Thanks, Fiona!

Sterling Silver Sphere Pendant

I made one of these silver sphere pendants for my mother-in-law for Christmas. In the rush, I didn’t have time to photograph it.

Providentially, it was accidentally lost, and she asked if I could make another one!

It is hollow inside. I love the soft finish.

I’m thinking of adding these to the shop – let me know if you’re interested!

Sterling Silver Tree of Life Ring

Adam wanted a special ring for his wife for their 15th wedding anniversary which is coming up soon.

Adam told me he would like a Tree of Life ring, and sent me a few pictures that he liked. Keeping those in mind, I designed a ring for him.

What a lovely idea for a wedding anniversary gift, so personal and unique!

Sterling Silver Domed Ball Ring

Charlotte contacted me recently, as she had been looking for a special ring for a while, had come across this website and liked the look of some of my domed pieces. We designed a ring to suit her, combining elements of two other rings that I have in my Beyond Silver Dome collection.

Charlotte just picked her ring up today, and she’s very happy with it! So glad. Thanks, Charlotte!

Sterling Silver Initial Bookmark for Diala

Customised Sterling Silver Bookmark

Diala contacted me about making a bookmark for her friend’s birthday. She is in the UK, and needed it to arrive before the big day.

I was happy to get straight onto it. It went out in the mail today, hopefully in plenty of time!

There’s nothing better than a good book – happy reading to everyone, and thanks Diala!

Sterling Silver Heart Earrings

Nic contacted me with a request for a pair of heart earrings that she wanted to have created especially for her.

Sterling Silver Heart Earrings

Nic wanted them to be elongated, ‘puffed’ hearts, with marquis shaped hooks. We emailed about how they would look and what size they needed to be, and after a little bit of discussion, I got to work!

Sterling Silver Heart Earrings

The hearts are finished with a high polish, as you can see from the reflection in the photos. (It’s hard to capture a good photo of highly polished, curved surfaces! 🙂 )

Sterling Silver Heart Earrings

I created them with a spiral twist on the base of the earwire where it joins to the back of the heart –  forgot to take a picture of that, but you can just see in the reflection in the last picture! Thanks Nic, these earrings were fun to make. I’m really glad you’re enjoying them!

Grassy Green Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

My lovely friend Kylie, from Raw Toys, arranged for her birthday present this year to be one of my drusy pieces! I feel very honoured.

Grassy Green Drusy Agate and Sterling Silver Ring

Kylie thought my usual rings might be a bit too chunky for her because she has small hands, so asked would I be able to make her a ring a bit smaller than my usual style. Of course I was totally happy to oblige! I sourced her a special lovely small green piece of drusy.

Kylie is really happy with the way this ring turned out (she even blogged a little bit about that 🙂 ), and that makes me feel happy, too. I love being able to make one of a kind pieces for lovely people!

Thank you so much, Kylie! And for any lovers of beautiful wooden toys and puzzles, head over to Kylie’s MadeIt Shop or her Raw Toys blog and see her gorgeous work. It’s well worth a visit.
