Make sure your Jewellery tells the story of YOUR life, not someone else's.

EarWings, Ear Climbers...

 I have finally gotten around to re-photographing my EarWing Collection on the Ear.
In the past this was just too difficult as the model's ears would get red and swollen within a few changes of earrings.(Try it at home!)
This time I created a life sized photograph, backed with rubber to create the 3D aspect of an ear and away we go. No complaints about rough handling of the model, No gentle massaging of the models ego. Just me and my Art!

This design is one of my original EarWing series. The waves intended to reflect both ancient Celtic Culture and our own Cultures relationship with the sea.

Cultural Significance

Custom made for a Pacific Island family to present to a son coming of age.

This pendant, hand carved in Sterling Silver, depicts a traditional tool that is presented at "coming of age" the tool is normally made of wood and is used for a variety of traditional tasks.

I hung this from a simple hand made cable chain.

Down by the Sea

This Ring Shaped after a piece of Shell found on our Local Beach and constructed in Sterling Silver allows the wearer to exclaim her love of Nature to the whole World.

The Ring sits comfortably on the finger and does not protrude to far for everyday wear.

I have also made this with Gemstones set on one side in a 9kt Gold rub-over setting to compliment the organic nature of the Ring.

Peridot Oxidised Ring

This Sterling Silver Ring with Peridot and 9kt Yellow gold trim is made using a technique called Reticulation. It requires great skill to cause the outer surface of the silver to "melt and bubble" without melting the entire Ring.
The entire Ring is then Oxidised to  darken the surface and highlight the irregularities.
In this Ring the Peridot is also set in a 9kt Yellow Gold setting.
