My name in print!

Yesterday, TW11 Magazine plopped through the door, and it was lovely to see the ARThouse Open Studio article, complete with map and a couple of images of my work. It seems really close now. Just two weeks until I let people in to see my work, and me at work. I wonder if I will get any visitors!?!

That Pink Topaz

It's now in a beautiful ring, all polished and hallmarked and SOLD! The stone is big - 4.54ct, and it looks stunning. I wish I was keeping this one!

The weather is a bit cloudy here right now, so I couldn't get great photos. It's even more pink in reality. Fingers crossed for a sunny day so I can get some good shots before I have to hand this one over!

Ready for delivery

I had a couple of things ready for delivery today, so just thought I would share my packaging with you. The tags are small cards with some images of my jewellery on, and on the back they have the web address for my Etsy shop and the blog. Cute hey?

Twig necklace now in the Etsy shop!

I have just uploaded one of these into the shop. Click on the Etsy link on the right to take you to my store if you want one!

Commission your own ring.

If you liked the look of Karen's ring, or Allie's ring earlier in the blog, you can commission your own one of a kind, unique ring. I have got some lovely stones in stock - just not sure the photo does them justice!

They are (from top left clockwise) Pink Amethyst (16 x 12mm), Brazilian Amethyst (14 x 10mm), Pink Topaz (which someone has their eye on!) Green Brazilian Amethyst (10 x 8mm) just like the one in Allie's ring, and a gorgeous Yellow Flourite (13 x 10mm). A commissioned ring with one of these beautiful stones is £140.

Karen's Commission

I polished this ring and set the stone in it today. It is a gorgeous bright green 9mm x 11mm Peridot, which is one of my favorite stones. The ring is a commission for Karen. Now all it needs is sending off for it's Hallmark, and no doubt a final polish, before it is handed over.

Oh so pretty.

Today I finished the first, and made a second, of these delicate twig necklaces. They are so pretty that I will definitely be keeping one for myself.

The silver chain is so fine, that I had to take great care when soldering it, so that I didn't melt it. I can't wait to get them in the tumble polisher, so they get that high shine sparkle finish.

They need hallmarking, but I hope to get them in the Etsy shop soon. Speaking of which, I added one of the pairs of 'aurora' bangles to the shop today. Someone has already marked them as one of their favourites.
