Going for Gold

I have been designing a new range of items with 24ct gold inlay, and I'm really pleased with them.  I have got some of them on my website but not all up yet. Here are the rings:

heart of gold - 24ct gold and fine silver

Leaf of Gold - 24ct gold and fine silver

Simple heart of gold - 24ct gold and fine silver

Love Ring - 24ct gold and fine silver

There is some controversy with fine silver and rings.  I follow Kate McKinnons method - full fire at warp speed and then work hardening with a hammer (in the old time honoured tradition) and - works a treat, rock solid!

My Lovely Team Brittania

These are all artists from the UK, and what a wealth of talent! My little flowers are up there at the top - thank you!!

Silver Flower Collection

The idea of making flowers came during one lovely summer day sitting in the garden. I love the simple shapes. It seems to me that nature makes everything from either circles or squares. (I know some famous artist said there were only three shapes necessary - can't remember who it was). So this was the first series. I call these flowers at dusk. I didn't want them to be just bright silver so I treated them with a patina, but deliberately kept it just dark greyish.

I think my favourite is the wet water lilies in the centre.

More pea pods!!

Just a little addendum, have also just introduced pea pod charms for bracelets, or the tinyiest little pendants.






Cute eh!!
