Family Connection

Another piece of jewellery to mark a milestone in someone's life. The client started with this collection which included family members jewellery and her own pieces she didn't wear any more. The request was to turn these into one piece that made a statement and when she looked at it brought memories of her family to mind.
I created a bangle that opens at front and sat comfortably on her wrist. The oval shape stops it from swing around.

Modern space































The commission was to make a modern ring out of this collection of rings 
Coming up with  a design that would incorporate oval, round and square cut stone was the challenge. The Sapphire was fine to stand out by its self, three larger round diamonds where complemented each other but the princess cut diamond need something to tie it into the design, so that's why I set the small  round diamonds into the square shaped setting. Clients comment "better than I could ever imagine "

Hand made sterling silver, silver fern ring to match the pendant I made nearly two years ago for the same clients . The Green stone is cut out of the same piece of stone I used in the pendant.
The stone is 16 mm long and 12mm at the  widest point. The other shoulder is a new fern frond that as not unfolded which you cannot see in the photo.


Family Bangle

 All the Family's jewellery went into making this bangle from diamond and sapphire rings, chains and odd earring,  were unset and melted down. 5mm wide and 30 grams in weight.

Pendants


 Hand made two very different pendants this week.
Sentiment value high  in the  rustic organic sterling silver green agate pendant. The 9kt yellow gold topaz 15mm x 13 mm pendent with pearl enhancer bail is a very pretty addition to a strand of pearls.
Always interesting being a jeweller.

Geeen with Envy

 Three into one does go, in this remake. 
The diamonds and the gold started out in other rings and the beautiful green cabochon Australian Sapphire 9mm in diameter was acquired by the clients in Queensland .
With the sapphire being 9mm and the band 10mm wide at the top I tapered the shank so it fitted comfortably under the finger.
