Steampunk heart pendants

 A recent project & something a bit different for me, inspired by a visit to Leeds Steampunk Market.

Both heart pendants made from original, reclaimed, vintage watch parts & retain the moving cogs.

More floating dichroic & silver rings... & Oliver

 An exciting week!

Lots of interest has been shown in my silver & dichroic rings (see photos) & I've been busy making in the workshop.

The dichroics can be difficult to photograph, but I've tried to capture their stunning colours.

It was great to meet people in person who I've connected with on Twitter at the British Craft Trade Fair at Harrogate this week.

And most importantly, I became a grandad to baby Oliver - Congratulations to my daughter & her partner - he's beautiful x.

3 stone set floating double ring - silver & dichroic

 Just completed this commission.

The dichroic stones were hand picked by the client & the choice of settings resulted from pictures taken at a recent stone setting course.
The rest of the design was left to me.

The ring was delivered today & the client is delighted!

Stone Setting Workshop

 Fantastic day focusing on pushover settings, including loads of tips and tricks I passed on from years of experience.
Everyone gave great feedback & produced excellent results.



Thanks to all of you for being so interactive and enthusiastic. I considered that I may have set the bar too high - it would have been easier to set round cabochon stones with fine silver bezel, but I think the results show that you guys more than met the challenge.
