Here’s a flashback to a piece I made when I first started out. This chunky Amazonite “pocket stone” came from a local rock shop. I loved the colour and felt there was a better destination than a deep dark pocket for this one.

Reclaim, recycle, make – Bespoke cufflinks made from customer’s unloved gold
Just for a change this project started with an unloved bangle and turned into these lovely cufflinks with hand engraving. It’s not so often I get to work on men’s jewellery
Reclaim, recycle, make – Bangles are very popular
Bangles appear to be your preferred choice for remodeling projects. It’s a great way to make your unused jewellery into something you will wear forever. Here are a few
A family affair
Traditionally a compass rose was worn by sailors as a symbol for luck and in hopes of returning to shore alive. Nowadays it is often a symbol for focus, direction and moving forward in life.

Let’s create some new memories
