THE VERONICA EARRINGS

The way some of my work comes about is through making a piece for someone that I know, like for example THE VERONICA EARINGS. I made these specially for my friend Veronica. She was having some surgery and I thought that it would be a nice little surprize.

These enabled me to come up with with my new hoop/hook, which I'm sure it wont be long befor other jewellers will be doing the same as it always happens in my industry...

My daughter and I just got back from Veronica's (& family) house where they were entertaining friends & family. Certainly looked like a fun time was had by all.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

i'll be posting some stuff about what i'm working on at the moment.
Here is the barb of a stingray. I'm in the process of making a handle in silver with gems on it. It will be very ornate and sort of organic, as it should have a sort of regal extraterrestrial feel about it, sort of futuristic. it's about 280mm long and 20mm wide at the widest part. it has these amazing teeny hook
