Marquise Sapphire Pendant

The design for this Pendant was for a daughter. The criteria was that it be not too large, with curves and a Parti-coloured Sapphire from central Queensland was chosen from our gemstone selection as the centre stone. The design has scrolls on each side and an infinity sign at the bottom. Sapphire: 1.125ct, 10 x 5mm Metal: ...

Sea Horse

It's fun to create a freeform design such as this Sea Horse that I was asked to make in 18ct Gold. The shape is cut out, the lines punched into the metal and then it is domed to give three dimensions and make room for the brooch pin at the back. The Sea Horse has...

Sapphire Ring

These are Australian Sapphires brought to me by a client who wanted the square blue Sapphire set at an angle with the smaller yellow Sapphires at the sides. The request was for a ring with the stones set low and easy to wear so it was suggested a rub-over setting would be the best...

Remodelling
