Gold Leaf

                                                                          A client come to me with a eucalyptus leaf wrap in a circle an asked if she could have a ring made like this reusing her gold and princess cut diamonds.
So I hand made a 18kt yellow gold leaf wrap with an 18kt white gold center vane to set the diamonds into. The client was extremely happy with the end result.

Family Legacy






This  ring was created out of four  rings the client inherited from different family members and a pear shape natural Aust sapphire I provided.  One 9kt yellow wedder  I used for the setting, one 9kt pink gold diamond set ring I used for the centre shoulders of the ring .One 18kt yellow and one 22kt yellow  wedders I melted together to make the out side rings.
The client was very happy with the result because a new ring had been created in a style she liked, while still being able to distinguish the old rings.

Filigree Delight

The brief for this  9kt pink gold remake  was to keep the sentiment attached to the old ring with the filigree work, but to update it as well. So by keeping the scroll work in the settings, I kept the traditional. Changing the shoulders to have a curve and scroll out with the balls modernized the look of the ring.
 Its a very pretty ring

Amber twist

This design is a basic slit shank  but when you add the twist to the sterling silver shank and make the setting out of  9kt yellow gold you add colour and movement. the other interesting thing about this ring is the amber cut in a marque shape about 15 mm long with an insect inclusion in it . Making this a one of a kind ring for sale a Dyloigy in Traralgon  or contact myself.

Whimsical

  Rutilite features in this pendant with a squiggle of 9kt gold and natural garnet in a pear shape for a high light
Rutilite is an ancient stone. The Romans believed that it came from the hair of the goddess Venus. It is, therefore, understandable that it has a connection with love and marriage. Some believe that the stone is lucky for those who wish to preserve their marriage.
In truth, rutilite is really made up of titanium, dioxide, and iron. That might help to account for its color, which is typically reddish-brown or deep red to nearly black. The gem ranges from transparent to translucent to opaque and often boasts a silky luster. Sometimes, it contains enough metallic specks to even give it an unusual sparkle and sheen. Rutilite was originally discovered in Africa. It continues to be mined there as well as in Brazil and the United States. Although, the stone is hard, ranking about an eight on the Mohs scale of hardness, it is very rare; only gem collectors or jewellry collectors that specialize in unusual, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces generally possess it.  
This piece can be purchased  by contacting myself or Dyoligy in Traralgon .

Splash



 I named this ring Slash because it represented the design of a pebble dropping into water , the colour of the water and the impact it has when you wear it .
It has a handmade 18 kt yellow gold shank  and the cluster setting is platinum. It is set with one fine blue Ceylon sapphire oval  cushion cut 1.16 carat weight and ten  6 point  pear cut diamonds. I kept the pear shape theme in the wires under the setting and in the shoulders of the ring to give it continuity.


Circle around the Moon

The  9kt yellow gold Cho-Ka-Rie  Reiki symbol pendant was hand made for a client. The centre stone is an oval  moon stone. If you are looking for a particular symbol I can make them to order.
