Lapis lazuli silver earrings
A simple line of three lapis lazuli stones on a silver wire. These have proven popular with friends and I've made several.
Silver nordic rune Ring
I made this solid silver ring for my husband. It was carved in wax with Nordic runes and then cast in solid silver. The rune indentations were then oxidised for contrast.

Traditional solid sterling silver ring with lapis lazuli stone in bezel setting. Made for my Mum.
Lava stone silver earrings
These were difficult to make as the lava stone (collected by me on Fogo island in Cape Verde) is very fragile.
Shortly after taking these photos, one of the earrings fell on the floor and the stone smashed! Redesign under consideration for the future...

Silver penannular brooch
A penannular brooch is used to hold together pieces of fabric and was used in ancient Celtic jewellery prior to the Roman period. It is made of a ring and a pin which crosses the ring.

Silver Mobius surface pendant with copper window
Not the world's clearest photo but this is a sandwich of silver and copper with a mobius surface (single side as the top part is flipped). Not hallmarked due to the copper layer.
Silver hairclip
This solid sterling silver hairclip was the first piece of jewellery I ever made and I continue to use it regularly. It has copper, gilding metal and silver highlights as decoration.
