Michelle: I am a jeweller registered with the London assay office in the UK with my own hallmarking maker's mark. Hallmarking prevents false claims of solid precious metal in cases when it is only plated by that metal or contains less than the claimed amount of precious metal.
I have also recently obtained a French hallmark which allows me to sell solid silver jewellery in France as well.
Below are some examples of my work in Sterling silver which is also commonly called 925 silver.
Solid sterling silver hinged bracelet. All handmade from 950 and 925 flat sheet, tubing, and wire. Matt filed finish on outside, polished on inside. Clasp is a captive hinged bolt. Hall marked with maker's mark (Michelle) and French douanes as > 30 g of silver.
Solid sterling silver earrings matching the bracelet.
Solid sterling silver bars with enlarged hallmarks as decorative feature. Sterling silver posts with butterfly backs.
Made for a good friend who prefers minimalist jewellery.
Sterling silver dragonfly earrings with sterling silver lilypad studs.
Can be worn with or without dragonflies.
Dragonfly can also be attached on the back of the ear lobe for different weight distribution and look.
Simple solid sterling silver dragonfly earrings with hook through the ear.
A simple line of three lapis lazuli stones on a silver wire. These have proven popular with friends and I've made several.
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.
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...
Experiments in depletion guilding resulting in melted look amplified with hammer finish. Solid sterling silver stud earrings looking a little like raw nuggets.

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.
Same penannular brooch shown being worn.
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.
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.
