			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are a few examples of some eternity rings I have made.</p>
<div id="attachment_2847" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class=" wp-image-2847 " title="Silver and diamond ring." src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP0019.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="420" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Silver and diamond ring.</p></div>
<p>This ring is available to <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/shop/silver-and-diamond-ring-nrd04/">purchase online</a>, although I have made many variations; gold, silver, platinum and palladium &#8211; 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.</p>
<div id="attachment_2898" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 442px"><a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP8809.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2898  " title="Diamonds set around the whole band. " src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP8809.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="432" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Diamonds set around the whole band.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_2848" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class=" wp-image-2848 " title="9k white gold eternity ring." src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP02311.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="420" /><p class="wp-caption-text">9k white gold eternity ring.</p></div>
<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_2849" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP0238.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2849 " title="Eternity ring" src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP0238.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="420" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Eternity ring</p></div>
<p>The same ring on it&#8217;s own.</p>
<div id="attachment_2851" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class=" wp-image-2851 " title="18k white gold eternity ring" src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP8177.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="425" /><p class="wp-caption-text">18k white gold eternity ring</p></div>
<p>An 18k gold ring set with 8 square diamonds, the width is 2.7mm. Any number of diamonds can be set to suit your budget.</p>
<div id="attachment_2852" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class=" wp-image-2852 " title="18k gold ring set" src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP7441.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="420" /><p class="wp-caption-text">18k gold ring set</p></div>
<p>Another example of an eternity ring with flush set round diamonds.</p>
<div id="attachment_2965" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 413px"><img class=" wp-image-2965   " title="9k white gold band, with 14 small diamonds" src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP8519.jpg" alt="" width="403" height="403" /><p class="wp-caption-text">9k white gold band, with 14 small diamonds</p></div>
<div id="attachment_2966" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><img class=" wp-image-2966 " title="The same ring as above with a polished finish" src="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IGP8612.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="416" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The same ring as above with a polished finish</p></div>

<p>With January well and truly here, the <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/category/workshops/the-workshop/">jewellery making studio</a> is back in full swing. <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/shop/">Online orders</a> and <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/2010/02/commission-your-wedding-rings/">commissions</a> that were not Christmas presents await my attention at the bench.</p>
<p>It seems the festive break is a good time for couples thinking about their forthcoming wedding to make plans. Over my week long break, the majority of people contacting me have been enquiring about <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/2010/02/make-you-own-wedding-rings/">making wedding rings</a>, ordering <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/rings-2/">wedding bands</a>, and even <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/rings-2/">engagement ring</a> enquiries from delighted couples who have made the decision to get married over the festive period! It&#8217;s a lovely way to return to the studio because talk of weddings always makes me think of exciting fresh beginnings, much like the first week of January.</p>
<p>So I look forward to hearing from new and old customers throughout the coming year! If you would like to discuss a <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/2010/02/commission-your-wedding-rings/">wedding ring or engagement ring commission</a>, then please <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/contact/">get in touch</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, here it is: 2012 has arrived!</p>
<p>Opening the studio on the first morning of 2012 is done with a renewed eagerness and fresh energy. One thing I have learnt over the years is to give the studio a good clean and tidy on the last working day of December &#8211; so when January arrives I&#8217;m not greeted with left over Christmas cake and tinsel!</p>
<p>January is a time to reflect, improve and get things done in the studio. New designs, planning work, work on the website &#8211; all the things that can&#8217;t always be worked on when you&#8217;re full steam ahead with orders for Christmas.</p>
<p>So, in honour of a wonderful Christmas break, here are a few images from the festive period before I completely turn my attention to 2012!</p>

<p>After a long build up, Christmas is almost in touching distance &#8211; so for me it is time to tidy the <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/2010/01/the-workshop/">jewellery workshop</a> and close the door for the last time in 2011. I have had a brilliant year, with many returning customers and meeting lots of new ones. I have had the opportunity to be a small part of many couples special occasions; from secret engagements, <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/2011/02/student-gallery/">making rings with excited couples</a>, gifts for new mums from devoted husbands and special anniversary gifts to celebrate many years of a happy marriage. <strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Thank you to you all for trusting me to make that very important and <a href="http://www.suelanejewellery.co.uk/index.php/shop/">special piece of jewellery</a>. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!</strong></p>
