Studio Photo

Last year I was contacted by Bryan Sun wanting to take a photo of me in my studio (sorry Bryan, I know it has taken ages for me to post). I was nervous but I was put at ease by Bryan's easy manner and above is the result. I think it is a an interesting picture of my chaotic bench.

Wedding Bands

These rings where made earlier this year for a lovely couple. Her ring in 18ct Pink gold was from the mountain series of rings complementing her Golden Mountain with 8 diamond trail engagement ring. His ring is a signet style ring with personalised seal that the groom designed using their initials and the date of their wedding. 

Definitely a nice story to tell the kids about one day.

Ring

A happy occasion like the birth of a new baby calls for a special commission. The ring below is from my precious range of  Mountain rings titled 'Diamond Lake Ring'. The four Australian champagne diamonds (that had been squirreled away by me for a special job like this) represent the members of this family and the hand engraved 'S' is the new babies first initial. I really enjoy exploring how existing designs can be customised to make a uniquely personal piece of jewelery that becomes a part of my clients story. I am sure this piece will become a family heirloom.
