Hey everyone. I'm gonna try and reach out here. If you or anyone you know are able and willing to help out a bit, it would be so much appreciated 🥰 Trying to raise funds to get a new car to help assist my elderly parents with their hospital appointments and general life needs. My car's unfortunately going through major wear and tear and I can't afford to keep worrying it might break down at this stage in their lives when they depend on ne so much. I'm of course happy to do it because they've given me so much growing up and I'd just like to be able to pay them back for it.

Cluster ring in the making @jewellersacademy 😁 NOT an easy project...highly challenging! Few tubes fell off while filing after soldering...three times...but truly amazing to make. . I'm really making sure to take my time with this so I don't get overwhelmed. . How is everyone else finding this project? . Stay tuned for the finished piece! . . . . #fantasychicaccessories #jewellersacademy #finejewellerydiploma #handmadeclusterring #workinprogress #handmadejewellerymalta (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ces7K4WMQeB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I absolutely adore these locally made glass marbles from @mdinaglass 🤩 I just love finding local bits and bobs I can use to make jewellery 💕 . These are simply perfect for caging in wire 😍 Definitely have a few ideas in store for these. . . What do you like using in your jewellery that's local?

So this is what I'm currently working on 😜 - star setting practice. . We've just started term 3 two weeks ago and this is already hard work. It's taking a lot of strength, which I don't currently have (due to shoulder issues 😩), to hand grave these little bits which are supposed to become tiny beads/granules which hold stones in their place. . It's definitely something that takes tons of practice and something I do want to master eventually 😁 . It's a slow process though for me and I'm not doing more than necessary at the moment so this project may take me a while to finish but I'll get there 🥰 . Any tips from those of you who have finished this or from star setting experts are most welcome and appreciated 😁 please do leave them below 👇🤪 . . . . #fantasychicaccessories #jewellersacademy #starsettingpractice #finejewellerydiploma #postoftheday📷 (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWOlncsvmq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is THE ring that made me cry and laugh madly while I was making it 🤣 I can't tell you how many times I had to resolder one of the claws and how many times I dropped a stone and not to mention, one of the tubes literally SHOT off the shank while setting the stones 😩 This is why the stones' colours are off because I had to resolder while the other three were in place 🤣 . I tried using technoflux, powdered rouge and the potato technique and FINALLY managed to finish this 🥳 . Despite the trials and tribulations of this project 🤣 I really enjoyed it and I really want to make another one of my own design ❤️ . I think this was the most challenging project for term 2, at least for me. . What was your most challenging project this term?

Stone setting in wax...more messiness lol. . I've also been using the heat pen for the first time to creat the little blobs... I made a right blobby mess before getting to this point, that's for sure 😂 . . While I like the versatility of wax, it's definitely not my favourite technique 😅 what's your favourite jewellery making technique in general so far? Tell me below 👇😊 . . Anyway, enjoy these two pieces from last term ❤️ . . . #jewellersacademy #finejewellerydiploma #fantasychicaccessories #waxcarvingforjewelry #stonesettinginwax #handmadejewellerymalta (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcPvWBXsznT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tennis links earrings 🥰 This was quite an interesting project which can be turned into an entire tennis bracelet. I played it safe and made the minimum required and I'm quite happy with how daint and dinky these came out ❤️ . They're far from perfect and the stones aren't set but they'd look gorgeous for sure 😍 . I may attempt the bracelet yet but in the future 😁 . . Do you like these types of earrings?

I just finished term 2 of the #finejewellerydiploma @jewellersacademy and I'm so grateful to have been able to get all the projects done, especially because this year has been particularly hard with life getting in the way. . My shoulders are quite messed up right now and I've had severe pain in both of them these last few weeks 😩 I was so worried I wouldn't finish by the deadline but I managed 🎉 . I'm especially happy about having finished this totem pendant from term 1 and I'm quite happy with how it turned out, although I did crack the bottom stone slightly. Fortunately, it doesn't show from afar but up close for grading, I'm sure my tutor will see it 😂 Never mind, because this is how we learn 🥰 . . Hope you are all doing well 😊 😘 . . . . #fantasychicaccessories #jewellersacademy #colletsettings #silverandgold #handmadejewellerymalta (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb9zSlcszrx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Creole earrings "finished". Just a bit of filing and polishing left to do 🥰 This is basically the only term 2 project I managed to do in the same week the video tutorials came out 😅 . . Now I just need to finish off stone setting my marquise ring, turn the tennis bracelet links into earrings, and .... I have another two weekends left! 😩 . . . . #jewellersacademy #finejewellerydiploma #silverhoopearrings #fantasychicaccessories #handmadejewellerymalta (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbh3vorMjM-/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was a serious B to solder! And right after I'd managed to solder on the last tube...one of the claws came off from the marquise seat 🤦‍♀️ . . Still, all's well that ends well. Now all soldered (with some partial bits without solder) and next it's time for sanding, polishing and setting the stones 😁 . . Despite the difficulties of this project, I'm looking forward to making a couple more designs I have in mind and I've already ordered some more marquise stones 🥰 . .

Hey all, I'm back...posting sporadically for now but I'm here. . First of all a big thank you for all your kind messages during a difficult time. I truly appreciate it ❤️ . Secondly, I wanted to post this soldering tip: I was not having any luck with soldering the claws straight onto the marquise seat for my fine jewellery diploma project. Finally I tried this ... I popped two pins into the seat hole onto a honeycomb block and no more wobbles! 😁 . Managed to solder the claws on straight, and quite quickly too 🥰 ...pity one of the claws came off after soldering the very last element onto a ring shank, but that's a story for another day 😁😅 . . Let me know if you try it and how it goes for you down below 👇 😊 . . . . #jewellersacademy #jewellerytipsandtricks #fantasychicaccessories #handmadejewellerymalta #finejewellerydiploma (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFXyTDspOp/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's been a tough few months and now there's been another family loss, so I will be on hiatus from posting for a while again. . If, in the meantime, you'd like to ask about any commissions or existing pieces, you can get in touch from next week and I'll gladly help. . . Take care of yourselves and your loved ones and never refrain from saying I love you to them ❤️ . . . . #hiatus😓💔 #familylosshurts #fantasychicaccessories #pausingposts (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CahTp9vsVg8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finished projects ... and the messes beforehand 😅 . It's the blobbing with the heat pen that takes a bit if practice 😂 but after several hours, I managed something close to good enough 🎉 . And yep... I'm done with wax for now lol . Any tips on how to smooth the rough edges without taking off the blobs will be very much appreciated 😁 . . . . #waxcarvingmess #jewellersacademy #stonesettinginwax #fantasychicaccessories #postoftheday📷 (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaUlRK-MGaK/?utm_medium=tumblr
