Another Tourmaline. Yellow this time, which is quite unusual, even though they come on a broad spectrum of colours and tones, this is also a first for me.
This one can be worn either way.. with the open part toward the knuckle , elongating the finger or open the other way.
I call this design my "split" rings only because of the opening with all the soldering on the front. It doesn't actually open, but is narrower at the back.

Digging through some unresolved pieces (there's probably a metaphor there! lol) to melt down and eventually "repurpose".
I decided to rescue this wee guy (all 25mm of him) I have several small figures doing various things , but decided to save this one for now. The price of metal, I can't afford to just hang on to the whimsy .
Currently on a hoop earring, but was possibly destined for a necklace - Once upon a time.
My work used to be much more lyrical...full of characters and quirk. While they were fun to make, it turned out the world wasn't ready. So now I mostly stick to symbols and abstraction to say my thing.

Yes, out photographing in the rain again.. such crazy weather I have to catch the right sky when I can. No fancy set ups.. Just reflected clouds.
Another Tourmaline. This one has very blue shifting tones so different depending on the light and angle. That's the beauty of Tourm's.. so rich in colour
Asymmetrical Split Tourmaline Ring : Sterling silver and rose gold. Size U
I'm having a breather for the weekend ..time to catch up with life .. away from the bench and anything "work". 😌 (trust me, it takes discipline)

Tourmaline! YUM!
One of my favourite gems . They come in a vast myriad of colours. This one green with olivey yellow tones. Set in dark 9ct rose gold. Slight assymetry to the band and narrow at the back for comfort.

Digging out the precious metals again and setting some stones (to come)
New work completed before my rollercoaster week with my dear mum passing away .

Koru.. in symbolism, feels appropriate . As my mother passes through to the next realm, I too enter a new phase without both parents now..
Tomorrow we have our first day of Spring 🌱here in Aotearoa.
Life goes on for the living and so it is.
Peace be with you Dear Myrna, Mum. 💜
