Recent work
Recently I have enjoyed the challange of making some special commissions for customers.
Mel’s engagement ring.
14ct white gold band , 9ct red gold setting, champagne diamond.
The photos do not do this ring justice, the combination of white/red gold with the dark champagne diamond are really soft, and the organic nature of the seed pod setting, make this subtle and unique combination.
Rachel’s necklace
the brief for this variation on the Aotearoa necklace involved some special place references as well as other symbolic references. To achieve this I developed a couple of new patterns.” View of Rangitoto’ and ‘View of Aoraki from the Tasman’.
Cathie’s Necklace:
the brief here is a necklace that celebrates a 21st birthday, so of course a key made from silver and 9ct gold, a small gold cross and a tag that celebrates special places.
Kathys ring
This is a variation on the ruby and rata ring design with a tsavorite used as the stone instead of the ruby. Tsavorite comes from Tanzania, a type of garnet it has a strong ‘bling’ green colour , and was brought to international attention in the 1970′s when Tiffany used the stone in many of its signature pieces .
