Jewellery Brought Back to Life

I enjoy bringing old jewellery back to life, where stones with sentimental value can be re-used to re-connect with the present wearer. Have a look at these photos of recent commissions that I've been worked on.

The first image shows a stunning Double Circle Pendant with 3 diamonds which were taken from the client's ring on the right.

The second image shows  the re-use of 3 stones from the client's grandmother's engagement ring.  The stones were used to produce a puzzle ring and a necklace as a surprise 40th birthday present for the client.

The third image shows a set of stacking rings, re-using assorted stones from various rings that were provided by the client.

Stacking Ring Commission

A recent commission that I enjoyed working on was when a client brought along a costume ring to my workshop which she really enjoyed wearing. This costume piece used three rings with paste stones. She wanted to re-create the idea of the ring with precious metals and semi-precious stones.

Together we chose the stones that would compliment each other and would be able to be worn individually or together as a fantastic looking stacked ring.

The images show both the original ring and the final resulting ring made in 18ct yellow gold with green and pink tourmalines and smokey quartz. It was fun working with more unusual stones and the client was pleased with the result.

This ring showed that not only can you commission jewellery for an important event, you can be involved in having something made simply for your own enjoyment.
