An old one but I loved how these remodelled 18 carat, diamond and emerald rings turned out. They’re part of a larger stacking set, but I do particularly like these on their own too.

A little photo of the other side of my log cabin workshop. My workshop has always been at home, but I’ll be moving from here soon, into a purpose built space, with lots of other creative people nearby. It all feels exciting and quite scary, as it’s the first time I’ll have to consider things like rent and business rates.
It’ll mean though, that I’ll be able to offer wedding ring workshops, so if you’d prefer to come and hand make your own rings, I’ll be able to guide you through the whole process. There’s also a cafe, and a deli on site so plenty of choices for lunch!
I already have a small waiting list of interested couples, so if you’re getting married after June 2019 and would like to be added to this, please get in touch :) #makeyourownrings #makeyourownweddingrings #newworkshop #jewellersbench #jewellersworkshop #weddingringworkshop #weddingrings #ethicalweddingrings #fairtradegold #recycledgold #recycledsilver #platinum

I have a few platinum commissions on my bench at the moment and crazily it’s currently more or less the same price as palladium!! Here’s a twist ring in progress.

Dear lovely followers of my instagram account, I need your opinions......... These are probably not in their final version yet, but I’m working on some “suitable to be sold in a jewellery gallery/shop” pieces.
So what do you think of my hills/mountain range/skyline/favourite footpath/part of a signature/whatever else you fancy me recreating the shape of pendants?
These are recycled silver, but they could be made in all gold, or a mixture of the two, to get a lovely colour contrast.

Simple solitaire textured engagement ring. Beautiful on it’s own or as part of a stacking set.

What have you been up to this weekend?
I took this yesterday from the top of the Worcestershire Beacon on the Malvern Hills. If you look way in the distance, you can see the area I’ll be moving to later on this year.
