One of the five hinge pins for a gold and emerald bracelet I’ve designed and am now making. It’s 2mm long and less than 1/2 mm thick. When installed, the end is trimmed to shorten it to 1.25mm. I’ll post the picture of the bracelet when it’s finished.

This recent commissioned ring is makeover of a traditional engagement solitaire. Thanks Laura! It was a pleasure creating this for you.

This tourmaline and tsavorite ring in 18K white gold is a recent commissions on a floral theme. Tsavorites are a very fine green coloured garnet, like emeralds but more brilliant and are quite rare. They’re my fav green gem!

Chalcedony and Sterling ring, finished today.

Women’s opal and gold signet styled ring, a commission, made recently. Opals are softer than most gemstones, and any ring designed around an opal needs to protect the stones edges at a minimum. The opal in this ring is flush with the mount to minimize chipping.

Sapphire and diamond earrings, in white gold. This is a recently completed commission. Unlike diamonds, gem grade untreated sapphires like these, as well as rubies and emeralds are getting hard to find. They are escalating in price and becoming even rarer as they are mined out. Much of what you see in the market is poor grade stones that are dyed or synthetics.
