Custom 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Ring
Top image shows a simple sketch which I then have to make happen. Sometimes along the way the piece evolves to a more balanced finished item. Its all in the hands and mind of the creator.
Custom work is about giving the artist freedom within the discussed boundaries.

14K Yellow Gold Family Ring
A traditional family ring but it’s all about the workmanship, back holes cut so light is reflected properly (and cleaning is easier).
The stones have been set deep enough that the grains of metal holding them are below the top surface. This prevents wear and tear as well as requiring less metal to hold the stones. The most obvious and enjoyable benefit is that this shows more of the colour and brightness to the eye of the viewer.
A combination of design and craftsmanship turns a simple concept like the family ring into a piece of wearable art.
I just love to see the smile when people pick up a well made product.

14K white Gold Diamond Wedding Set
In the first image we have the inspiration , Queen Ann’s Lace (Daucus carota)
The following images are the process through to the final finished wedding set.
The wedding ring fits snugly under the engagement ring and allows the two bands to sit together with no gap.
This hand made set of mounts give the customer exactly what was requested also the longevity of proper construction.

Diamond Wedding Ring in 14K Yellow & White Gold
What one can do when a wedding set becomes too far gone to repair in a satisfactory way.
With peoples busy lives a single ring serving the purposes of the old wedding set is a practical solution.

14K Gold and Silver Ametrine ring
Not an easy ring to construct or describe, I hope the images do the job well enough. Technically it’s a three part cuttlebone cast blank as you may observe from the first image. This process enables the hole in the head to be produced right at the start. The bezel is far from the simplicity it seemingly displays, with six side none of the same length, a rather tricky one to make.
The Ametrine , part Amethyst and part Citrine makes for a a very pleasing appearance especially when in a gold bezel.

Three stone Diamond Wedding set.
Over time the traditional construction has needed to be adjust to cope with modern life styles. A little heavier but should not appear as such. The nick-up three stone head is shown under construction in the first four images. The width of the finger bezel and its band need to be the same width so the wedding band does not wear it flat on the side.
Simple but durable whilst displaying the stones correctly.

Gold and Diamond Three Stone Ring
14K yellow and white gold custom ring with one, round, brilliant cut diamond and two round faceted topaz. The top image shows how the ring evolves from a cuttlebone cast tapered band to the beginnings of a mount.
With a single diamond from an older ring and two topaz from old earrings, a design can can remain simple.
The end result makes an excellent statement and a satisfied client.

Custom 14K White Gold Diamond and Ruby Ring
Exploring a ring shape theme further with another custom remodeling.
This time with a ruby and the two main stones set in low bezels and the other diamonds pave set. This required the traditional construction techniques to attain lightness and strength. I have posted sufficient image so one can understand better the amount of work required.

14K yellow and white gold diamond ring set
The main ring is a Celtic knot variation made into a domed bowl head with a solid but simple split shank. The wedding band is fitted yet can easily stand on its own.

Pear shaped Aquamarine and diamond 14K gold dress ring
Bezel settings for the two Aquamarines are more practical for modern living in a daily worn item. The mix of gold colours makes the asymmetry balance the different sizes of the two main stones and the pave set grouping of the small diamonds creates a good counterpoint to the red gold. The customer went away very happy, what more can we ask.

Custom Sterling Silver Dragon Pendant
Turning a two dimensional idea from a client into three dimensions requires some imagination and artistic skills, especially with something such as a dragon in front view.
Above is the design on paper with the pieces cut out in metal then laid together to see how it will work.
Below with the finished piece where I turned the oval background ninety degrees as it works correctly and shows the Yin Yang in the way it should appear. Oxidation picks out the layers and engraving to better effect.
