There are so many aspects to being a jeweller and running a small business…in terms of design I get to take all my thoughts, my ideas, my dreams and translate them into wearable, metal creations…and then at times I have clients who ask me to help turn their inspiration into a piece of jewellery which they can treasure. In the last couple of months I have worked on some really great custom orders…

Made from sterling silver, copper with a moonstone, this windmill pendant was ordered by a lady who as a windmill motif as her business logo…

Another client wanted a special Christmas gift for her partner who owns a Jack Russell…

…made from sterling silver…

I was also commissioned to make a rhino pendant with a bird on his back and this client also ordered one of my dog pendants. Instead of the copper heart wings she asked that I make 9 carat gold ones and she wanted a name on the back…

One my all time favourite commissions was created as a graduation gift. I was asked to create one of my story necklaces that included buildings (the graduation was for an architectural degree) and a very large dog.

Alex received this necklace…made from sterling silver and copper…from her parents the night before her graduation…and her grandmother gave her the following pair of earrings to match…
