Blue Flower



   One of my favorite design for a ring. It has a modern shank, in 9kt yellow gold, with the under bezel  and setting in 9kt white . The suggestion of a flower form and scrolls harks back to the Art Noveau  period.   The beautiful 5mm  steel blue Australian sapphire set in the middle real stands out  because of the setting design which lets the light flood in under the stone Diamonds in the petals give it a delicate touch.

Topazes, light blue sapphire and diamonds are the stones used these came out of family jewellery left to the client so we incorporated them in to one piece that she could wear and cherish.  The size was about 6cm length  x 3cm  wide.

Mokume-gane Wedding ring

 This wedding ring was made for my son. I have always wanted to attempt  making  mokume-gane metal and I knew that it was thwart with problems but love for my son keep me persisting.  Mokume-gane is a mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns. This term describes a Japanese metalworking procedure, which comes in the form of a mixed-metal laminate with distinctive layered patterns. Mokume gane translates closely to "wood grain metal" or "wood eye metal", describing the way the metal takes on the appearance of natural wood grain.  So if anyone else would like a piece of jewellery using mokume-gane metal I will be buying the alloy already made but you still end up with a unique item.

Two Faced



This solid white opal was polished on both sides of the stone to take advantage of the different colour  play patterns (which is hard to see in photo) one side pin point patterning the other more flash. So I made a  bezel setting  with simple sides in 9 kt yellow gold so you can wear it either way.

Opal essance



A small black opal set into a simple design, half bezel set with one claw 9kt yellow gold.
 Black Opal  opal is generally mined in the Lightning Ridge (New South Wales, Australia) and has a dark grey to black body tone. It is the most valuable form of opal due to its dark body tone which causes the richness in colours.

Take Two



By using the the stones and gold out of rings show in first picture, a larger diamond from another ring and purchasing a diamond from me the same size as center diamond in photo. I was able to create a new engagement and diamond set wedder that the client was very happy with.
