Chrysophrase, Pink Sapphire, Tsavorite, Emeralds......


I absolutely love chrysophrase amd in these chandelier style earrings I've married it with pink sapphires, tsavorite and tiny emeralds.  All the stones are faceted with create a wonderful sparkle, despite the gems being opaque.  I've hand forged and hammered the earrings from 14kt gold filled metal.

Latest Creation




This has been keeping me busy for the last few days.  Hand forged necklace featuring crystal quartz, labradorite, moonstone, pearls and pyrite.  I've oxidised the silver by hand and spent many hours twirling, winding and twisting.  This beautiful necklace is going to be a gift to a very special friend in France.
