My new leaflets have arrived! If you’re visiting the arts market at Taurus Crafts today, you can pick one up by the cafe. I’ll also be around most of the day, so please feel free to contact me via the website if you’d like to have a chat about either a wedding ring workshop or a commission. :) #makeyourownweddingrings #weddingringworkshop #weddingringsforestofdean #weddingringslydney #madeintheforestofdean #ethicalweddingrings #ethicalengagementrings #ethicalgoldsmith #professionalgoldsmith #designerweddingrings #alternativeweddingrings #alternativeengahementring #tauruscrafts

A remodelled ring that I finished off yesterday. The aquamarines were scratched and cloudy, and the client wanted a more modern looking ring. The band was also wearing a bit thin at the back, so I combined the metal from both rings, and reset the lovely old cut diamond. ⁠
If you’d like to discuss remodelling some of your old jewellery, please get in touch. ⁠

Theres a big Art Market @tauruscrafts next Sunday (21st July) and I’ll be around in my studio, so if you’d like to make an appointment to have a chat about making your own wedding rings (or about any other commission) please get in touch! 💍

I actually finished and posted these last week but have been a bit rubbish at sharing my pics....A pair of wedding rings, all made by my own fair hands in platinum and moissanite.

I’m not taking part in #faropen #openstudios this year as I’ve only just moved into my new studio at Taurus Crafts.
So I’ll be visiting as many of my now fellow local artisans as I can over the next week and definitely intend to join you all next year!

Spent all day yesterday sorting out my new studio. It’s not quite there yet but it’s starting to look a bit more like it should. First wedding ring workshop is booked in for next Saturday!! #newstudio #jewellersbench #jewellerystudio #jewelleryworkshop #makeyourownweddingrings #ukgoldsmith #ukdesignermaker #tauruscrafts #gloucestershire #forestofdean #ethicalweddingrings #recycledgold #fairtradegold

I don’t just make rings. Remodelled platinum and diamond earrings (that used to be a ring) #inprogress! ⠀

I’ve been making jewellery based on the Malvern Hills for a number of years. Then I got asked to make this set, based on May Hill in Gloucestershire - a convenient coincidence being as I’m about to move just down the road from there! 🌳 🌲🌲🌲 🌳⠀

A recent remodelling commission. Made in recycled 18ct white and yellow gold with recycled diamonds.⠀

Ring sizes are never an exact science. I have two gauges that both measure slightly different, so if you order online I always offer one small resize (excluding postage) for free as part of the package. These two commissions were both just a tad too big, but they’re now resized and are hopefully now fitting perfectly. ⠀

Booking is now open for “Make Your Own Wedding Ring workshops!”⠀

All workshops will run at my new studio at Taurus Crafts in The Forest Of Dean, Gloucestershire. Times and days of the week can be flexible to fit with your travel plans and there are numerous local B&B’s/campsites/hotels if you fancy making your experience into a mini-break!⠀

Oh, and you also get to wear these rather gorgeous Fairtrade aprons! 🤣💍💕⠀
