Finished Custom Made Pearl Ring

Some pieces are more difficult to let go of...

Custom Order - Sapphire Pendant

My parents found this Parti Sapphire while fossicking on their travels in Northern Queensland some time ago. The rough was cut in a local town, and faceted in to this beautiful stone. A deep green with flashes of yellow. When a client was looking for a special gift to travel overseas recently, this gem came to mind immediately. Set in an elegant 9ct gold four claw setting, this beautiful pendant makes for the perfect gift and a simple and lovely piece that can be worn every day.

Custom Order - Triple Sapphire Stacker

As a maker I am passionate about designing and crafting unique handmade jewellery, future heirlooms to be cherished and limited edition collections. My practice involves traditional gold and silver smithing techniques, combined with contemporary art and craft, while concentrating on customer focused service.

Custom Order - Constellation Signet Ring

My clients come up with great ideas for personalising my designs. This History Class signet ring was a birthday gift for my client's daughter. We chatted over email about how to incorporate the different elements she wanted in to the piece, and together we formed this design. The front of the ring is brush finished and features a hand engraved Scorpio Constellation, set with Diamonds, while the back of the signet ring has been hand engraved with the recipients name. It turned out beautifully and is perfect for everyday wear. 

What a beautiful gift from a Mother to a daughter!

Custom Order - Blue Quartz Ring

The colour of this 20 ct Quartz is just amazing! It was just the colour my client was looking for. A big, blue stone for a simple but breathtaking ring. The kind of timeless design that says cocktail party, race day or girls night out! 

Bold and beautiful, this ring was hard to part with!

Custom Order - Handwritten Pendant

1. The handwritten note, 2. Cutting the design from a sheet of silver

3. Filing and finishing the design, 4. Chain soldered on and ready to be polished

5. The finished piece.

There's two things I really love about custom orders - the challenge and the client's reaction when they see their idea become a 'thing'. Using my skills to bring their ideas to life is so satisfying, and knowing that I have created a piece that means something to them is an even greater reward. When that piece is a lovingly thoughtful gift that's well received, it's even sweeter.

This piece I made recently was very special. My client commissioned a handmade pendant for her sister's 30th birthday, providing a handwritten note from their father, who had passed away when they were quite young. I was so touched to be involved. We worked on turning the biro marks in to a thicker design, I carefully drew, saw pieced and polished the pendant, and showed my client for her approval before I sent it. 

I got little goose bumps when I got a message from her sister to say she cried when she opened her gift and hasn't taken it off since.
