New Bloom ring 🩷

Initially, this pretty was determined to be a water lily. I cut a second row of petals and everything locked in perfectly. My fingers were cramping, and i'd been sitting for a good four hours. Taking a little break walking to the letterbox I saw the first, hopeful little blossom on my little peach tree. It was so cold, but it broke a spell. I remembered a pink tourmaline patienly waiting here for too many years..

While I cannot do a fair ode to a blossom, happily I can color match!

'I am so tired of this commercial fob, can you turn it into a heavy, chunky bangle? I have this old silver ring too...'

Indeed I can M'Lady... ❤️

The beauty of this piece is no clasp is needed. It simply rolls over the hand with its own tactile beauty.

Bespoke monster ruby cabochon for Lady A ❤️
We decided to nest her in pure silver with a halo of pure gold to make her pop. And that she most definitely does!!

A truely beautiful surprise commission.

A few years ago, Lady H was searching for a gift for her mother to celebrate her 60th birthday. Her bright, eagle eyes locked on my white gold and ruby vine ring. It was not within budget, but it simply burned bright. Her brother agreed to go half, and it was gifted.

A few months ago, the Empress C contacted me. Lady H's 40th was to be celebrated on June 10th. She disclosed that her ruby vine was coveted, multiple attempts had been made to steal it, they shared the same ring size. We made a plan. An Irish husband wanted in. So we decided greens, ever so slightly thicker, and the rough bones were made with a small pot of pirates bounty added. Emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh yes, gems are tiny. And they roll on the velvet. And yes. These little escape artists did. Twice. And they joined with Lady H's daughters project of sweet synthetic gems on the floor. So everyone was on their knees looking for the real stones.

When we finally got to meet together, one original diamond,and three new bright teal green sapphires won. And after some elf shop time hammering, soldering, forging and pixie dust, mother and daughter both have their own, very, very special vine rings ❤️💚

So, so much love to a brother who helped his sister, who in turned it to gold for her brother, to gift their mother, who with her daughters husband, kept the love flowing.

A Bespoke What goes Around bangle...

And a belated Happy Anniversary to the beautiful, clever, poised, and witty goddess who inspired it ❤️

Not all rose quartz are created equal, and not all make it to become a custom cut cherry blossom. When the light tenderly finds her creases, she glows. Beneath, one lumonous baroque fresh water pearl.
