Men's rings

Rough and Tumble Exhibition May 2017

I have been a bit lax about posting new work on my blog and I apologise for this. All I can say is that things have been a bit of a whirlwind this year and I have loved every minute of the ride. However, now it is time to show some of the pieces that I have produced these last few months, starting with the exhibition I was involved in at the beginning of the year.
The brief was to design pieces that depict the Rough and Tumble aspect of everyday life and how gone are the days of order and routine. I found these amazing tumbled smokey quartz cabs that I paired with aqua calcy drops. These earrings made it onto the invitation.

A Bit of Sparkle for the Big Day

I made this pretty little commissioned piece to match my client's morganite engagement ring. A bit of sparkle to wear on her big day.

Engagement rings

2017 started with love in the air for a wonderful couple. The proposal took place at the Grand Canyon in America and she was thrilled by the engagement ring that we had secretly made for her.

18ct white gold claw set centre diamond with leaf detail on the band and small diamonds set within the leaves.

Young love is not the only love being celebrated in the month of February. I also revamped a '70's style 18ct yellow gold engagement ring. The customer was thrilled with the fresh and modern look of her new engagement ring using the stones from her original ring.
