Bespoke
I am always happy to discuss designing & handmaking a bespoke piece of jewellery for yourself or a loved one.
Anything from simple silver earrings to more complicated pieces such rings or necklaces.
Customers see me by appointment at my workshop to discuss their hopes & ideas for the piece - although online video calls are also possible.
During the discussion process, ideas & requirements are established & together we explore the possibilities.
Sketches are then drawn up & submitted for the client to consider, with adjustments & adaptations made as necessary.
Once a design is agreed, a deposit is taken & work commences on the final piece.
Sometimes it can take a long time from planning to fruition. So please be aware that as there is only me, time and patience may be required. -The best things are always worth waiting for.
Interested? Please contact me..
Watch me make....
L-O-V-E Baroque Pearl & Sterling Silver Necklace
Showing my own necklace that inspired this piece with the original sketch. I developed this wonderful special Birthday necklace . Commissioned by a husband for his wife. Then the steps in the creation process, from making each individual piece of wire chain, to drilling the pearls, forming to assembly. Its been a wonderful design that I have recreated.
Each one is hand made in full, with unique differences, from the pearls used, colours, heart/ no heart/large pearl.
Garnet & Citrine Sterling Silver Birthday Ring
These images show the initial design, followed by work in progress and the final finished piece
Sterling Silver, 9ct Gold, Garnet & Citrine Adjustable Ring
This particular ring was a surprise gift, which involved a number of client discussions to identify the right design for the eventual recipient.
A Starry Night- Glitter Necklace
9ct Gold , with accents of silver, this necklace was inspired by her mothers engagement and eternity rings. With a total of 8 gorgeous diamonds, this necklace is quite the piece. Based on my 'Glitter collection' it really is a stunning piece.
Kyanite & Rainbow Moonstone Silver Earrings
The gentleman was looking to create a modern design for his wife, which could be worn daily and comfortably, yet make her feel glamorous. Sterling Silver earrings set with Kyanite and rainbow Moonstones.
The Three Hares Sterling Silver Pendant
Another secret gift, this chap has hares running through him. He asked me to make a pendant of the three hares for his wife. It is an incredibly old symbol and dates back to the 6th/7th centuries in China amongst many other parts of the world. I did some research and found drawn to this particular image, using it for my inspiration. Swipe to see some of the steps. Finished with a blue oxidisation
Tourmaline, Citrine, Garnet & Buttercup Silver Ring
I designed this ring for my Bucks Art Weeks directory entry in 2020, to represent a cross over two of my core styles. An adjustable multi-stone ring, made in sterling silver, combined with my trademark buttercup. Tourmaline is one of my favourite stones - such a wide range of colours are available and often with lovely depth. Watermelon and green are amazing. Stone settings are individual as every stone is unique. Only once the stones have been set can the build of the main structure take place. Sadly, due to the pandemic, that event was cancelled like so many others.
