Commissions
Commissions are a collaboration between jeweller and customer: a combination of idea, design and feasibility. Below are photos of a few of the commissions I have done with a short description. If you have any questions about something you are interested in having made, please contact me.
I made these earrings using the 9ct gold from the customer's father's ring. The rubies were from her mother's ring. They are closely based on an existing earring design of mine that the customer liked,
This ring was made with the customer's parents' gold wedding ring and a ruby and three diamonds from various of her parents' rings.
I worked on three of these rings. Two were existing 9ct rings (not made by me) where I changed the stone setting to something more secure (one of the diamonds had previously been lost). I also made an 18ct one to match using the customer's gold.
These are based on my gold ball mini pendant but the gold ball is made with the customer's own gold that had belonged to a relative. This way each sister could wear the sentimental gold in a new fashion,
These silver earrings were a special present for a wife using a design similar to one of my pieces but with square amethysts instead.
This silver and synthetic ruby ring was made after having a chat with the customer about what design they wanted, what would suit them and we came up with this modern, clean design for the square ruby.
This silver mini swivel locket was for a daughter with a special message inside from her mum. It has a small blue tube set stone on the front and is about 1cm diameter.
The customer had these rubies for a long time and decided she wanted them put in a piece of jewellery she would definitely wear. The earring design is based on one of my designs, but we decided on oval shapes to match the oval rubies.
This silver with gold ball ring is one of my original designs that I've been making for years. However, this customer wanted a bigger version. So this is a custom larger gold ball with a thicker and wider ring shank.
This customer had these fabulous diamonds and wanted a modern ring. I set the six diamonds in white gold on a hyper-modern 18ct white gold square spiral.
These high carat gold earrings were made using the customer's own gold and a design specific to her family.
This high carat gold tie tack was made using the customer's own gold and a design specific to her family.
For this ring, the customer had an idea of a ring that looked like one from antiquity that is found in museums. It's made from the customer's gold and I had an engraver put the customer's own symbol on the top of the ring. Photo is by the engraver.
This pendant is based on one of my earring designs that the customer liked but wanted as a pendant instead.
Mde from the customer's own gold, this ring is a 9ct gold pinky ring with a modern look.
This customer had a much-loved pinky ring that she had worn for decades, but it had grown thin and was breaking at the back. I used the old ring to make this new 9ct gold pinky ring.
