For Lara ✨ A colourful selection of sweetie-coloured gems in a little stack of gold rings, interchangeable in their arrangement, pretty enough on their own or with their sparkling companions. There are blue topaz, sapphire, amethyst, cubic zirconia, and tiny diamonds, all set in repurposed gold from my client’s jewellery box.
The Opal ring was an existing piece that was missing an Opal - my client selected a new one and I have shaped it to fit the original setting.

And the rest of it ……. Apologies for lack of editing and me rambling on - but there we go, such a privilege to have this gorgeous workspace ✨❤️

Ay up - I’ve been told numerous times to get making videos…… gah, this is painful ☺️. So thought I’d start with an intro to my workshop/ boutique space here in sunny Saffron Walden in Essex.

For Claire ✨ using sentimental pieces - a cross-over style band with a sprinkle of diamonds, some of my signature texture, and a central bright blue topaz. It was decided that the central stone would be left with its years of wear - telling the story of its previous owner, it was my clients mum’s engagement ring, so very special indeed. I just love, love, love my job. It’s more than a job, it’s magic ✨✨✨

For Vicki ✨ A whopper of a statement ring, with mixed gold from broken bits and sentimental pieces and two gorgeous stones - a pear shaped amethyst and an oval blue topaz. Designs were simple and bold, and after several chats about where we were taking this, we arrived at one serious chunk of gold, molten and organic, with clean-edged handmade settings, for aesthetics and durability. The settings were carefully placed at an angle and offset to create a harmonious pairing, quite a challenge with such large stones needing to sit comfortably across the top of the finger, but it certainly worked ✨

What a beauty ✨ For Joanna, I waved my magic jewellery wand and transformed her mum’s old engagement ring which was a pretty and well loved diamond cluster, on a thin gold shank. I’ve relocated it to a tapered and textured sterling shield shape band - we played around with the finish - agreed that the very twinkly diamonds pop more with a matte finish on the silver ✨ so very happy with this - and it looks fabulous on a tanned hand and some gorgeous statement cuffs ✨

For Alexi, helping her to fall in love with jewellery again and create new unique and bespoke pieces to be enjoyed every day ✨ Garnets, and repurposed silver from my client’s old rings. I got my torch fired up, did some therapeutic melting, forging and shaping, worked in to the surface of the molten silver and hey presto, two new ring-à-dings!

A sweet and delicate necklace made with a mixture of repurposed white gold and diamond pendants amongst sterling chain ✨ My client brought in a ring ( in the last image ) for me to transform, and had a lovely idea for a gift for her darling sister, we kept it simple and practical - perfect for a little everyday neck-sparkle ✨
