Silver Biscuit Cufflinks

I started making these at the same time as my little custard cream and bourbon charms, and have finally found the time to finish them. I carved the basic shape from wax, cast into silver, then etched the design onto the biscuits.

New Custom Roller Derby Jewellery

The international roller derby community has been keeping me hard at work recently! A couple of recent custom orders were a silver roller skate necklace with amethyst gemstone to represent the skater's league colours, and a rather lovely custom skate number charm bracelet.

Wax Carving Experiments

I've been meaning to make a cufflink back for ages now, so thought I'd return to my wax carving experiments. I had rather forgotten how messy wax carving is!

As it's Friday, I thought I'd buy myself a little treat. A dress? Shoes? No - a hammer of course!

Re-Designing Antiques

When I was very little, I inherited a box of jewellery from my paternal Grandmother in Scotland. I never really knew her, but selling it always just felt wrong. None of it suits me so I don't wear it either,

Custom Silver Skate Numbers

My first order after rejoining the world of jewellery work was one for custom roller derby skate numbers. As they are one of my favourite things to make, this pleased me greatly. This time it's a number 13.

Silver Heart Stacking Rings

I made these rather lovely sterling silver heart stacking rings shortly before I moved house. I really like them and have been wearing them all over Christmas.

Changes are Afoot

So, rather excitingly (and not a little scarily) the boy and I have bought a house. This means that I have not been working on much new stuff over the past few months, as said house is a bit of a wreck and has required all of my attention to get it to a habitable state before we moved in.

Birthday Jewellery and Fancy Cakes

It was Mum’s birthday recently, so we all went off to afternoon tea at the Ritz, which was amazing! The boy and I have been before, but Mum and Dad have never been. I also made a necklace for the birthday girl,
