Sandcasting Workshop

A very enjoyable workshop! Casting is a “hit or miss’ process, so there is always the element of surprise when you have cast in silver and open your mould…

Here are a few images from the day.

Simple wedding ring designs

There is nothing more beautiful than a simple band of metal.

My work and design ethic is to keep it simple and do it well, something I often try to teach to students. Wedding bands illustrate this perfectly.

Here are some examples how one simple band of metal can look so different. Hopefully it may inspire you.

Contemporary Eternity Rings

Eternity rings are still very much in demand. Ladies often drop hints at the same time they buy their wedding band that an eternity ring is desired! There is no specific time that dictates if or when an eternity ring is worn.

Here are a few examples of some eternity rings I have made.

Silver and diamond ring.

This ring is available to purchase online, although I have made many variations; gold, silver, platinum and palladium – with varying numbers and sizes of diamonds to suit all budgets. This design works beautifully with coloured diamonds and stones too. Below is a ring with set with 46 diamonds around the whole ring.

Diamonds set around the whole band.

9k white gold eternity ring.

The above engagement and eternity ring was made to commission. The eternity ring is channel set with 30 square diamonds, covering half the circumference of the band. The ring is 2mm wide.

Phil and Harj make their own wedding rings

On Tuesday 17th January Phil and Harj joined me in the studio to make their own wedding rings. We had a lovely day and they made beautifully finished rings, and even a pair or earrings. Here are some images from their day…
