Claddah


                                                                      The clients brief was to make a claddagh ring that would stand out on her larger finger size., using her gold and diamonds, with a light blue stone in heart. The widest part of this ring is 16mm and the ceylon sapphire in heart is 3.5mm diameter. Adding the rails to outside of ring protected the crown which has 4 diamonds set in it and gave the ring weight. 


White Topaz


 
Two rings made using white topaz gems the clients family had found and cut many years ago.
Ladies ring handmade 9kt rose gold and white gold setting,the stone measures 10mm so needed the 8 claws to hold securely in place. The gents ring sterling silver  cast then modified to hold  13x 11mm gem stands high off the finger.

 Artist Pallet


 A  3 carat teal /blue green Australian Sapphire cut in a free form shield (11.2mmx8.5) makes a colourful statement in this engagement. To add more colour blue and pink sapphires are  set into the wide band along with different cut diamonds to add sparkle. All what the artist requested in her engagement ring, a ring that represents the form and  colour of the ocean just like her own work.

Bangle Blues

 This is what I can create for you when you have two pairs of earrings one odd sapphire and gold jewellery you don't wear any more. The bangle opens at the front and is an oval shape so it sits perfectly on your wrist , it closes by the  tension hook so there are no fiddly catches to worry about. I used the the same system on Family Connection bangle

Sapphire and Diamonds



 Another remake from a collection of family jewellery. Diamonds and Sapphire inspired by the Modern Space design I posted previously  but always a difference so each piece is unique.

A Bunch of Memories

The brief was to make a ring that look like a bunch of grapes using the diamonds and gold supplied by client. Once again this is a collection of family jewellery. Then add four rubies to celebrate 40th wedding anniversary . I  made one of the leaves out of her mothers wedding ring which has a rose gold colour to it , this ring held great sentiment for the client so it needed to be separated from the rest of the gold which were all melted together.

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.
