Prehnite necklace-with green diamonds
Submitted by debra on Sun, 03/22/2009 - 09:34.Here is a recent necklace I constructed out of gold, silver,a large prehnite and green diamonds-it's reversable !
The thing with handmade chains is they are so laborious!!1Whe I get the time I will post some pic's on the stages a chain goes through before completion...
Basically you start with wire-heat it then shape each piece around a" mandel'(jeweller's shapey thing!)-so EACH LINK is made from scratch-they are then soldered onto each other link -one by one...
Sometimes a necklace this long will have well over 50 seperate solders.

What is "Ethical gold?"-
I found myself asking that exact question a few weeks ago when a customer approached me asking if I could create her rings from it,I was'nt exactly sure what she mean't so decided I needed to find out more!

WELCOME!KIA ORA!
Hello and welcome all to my brand spanking new website and blog....
Please take the time to peruse my work and please note"IT's just a TINY slice of all the wonderful things I've made-if I photographed them all it would take forever!
Now firstly let me apologise for any spelling,and bad gramatical errors which I can asure all WILL be found -being a serious one fingered typist I am still slightly bemused as to why I find myself doing this!?
Contemporary and fine jewellery -what's the difference?

I'm often asked why I call myself a contemporary jeweller-and what do I classify as contemporary?
