Best Seller for Anniversaries?


The Signet ring is such a classic item of jewellery and one that transcends so many styles. Its basic design can be reinvented in so many ways. From feminine, understated, minimalist and vintage to modern, bold, and covered in bling, depending upon how it is personalised and what it is paired with.

It really is the perfect canvas for personalisation. Initials, dates, names, crests and symbols can be hand engraved on top or below the plate. While gemstones can be set alone, in pave, or in a pattern. There are so many possibilities to make this handmade ring unique to you and your loved one. It is such a lasting way to express your love and celebrate a milestone.

For all these reasons it has become my best selling anniversary gift!

A Golden Pearl with a Golden Leaf


The raw materials

Sometimes a job just flows from start to finish. There are no complications. Just a calm and joyful sense of achievement at each step of the process, as you channel years of learning and practice in to the making of an item. And so it was yesterday, making this beautiful pearl ring for a client. 

She had emailed me an inquiry about creating a piece for a Golden South Sea pearl that she had brought on her travels. I asked a few questions about what she had in mind, I sketched a few ideas and gave her a quote. She gave me further direction on the design and I produced a few more sketches, then she selected the design you see before you.

I love that technology gives me the opportunity not only to work from home and sell online, but also to work with clients all over Australia, and even all over the world, to produce custom made pieces.

This ring came together seamlessly yesterday during the babies nap time, and then after dinner. The customer has already given me her approval, as I sent her these progress shots as I went so she could see her piece being made. So today I need only polish it up, and glue the pearl in to place, before sending it off to its new home.

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!
