Adjustable Rings

Tweet

 Hi Everyone

Over the last few weeks I have purchased some 925 SS ring shanks, which require 3mm cabochons to be set into them.  I have not done this sort of work before and I have truly had a lot of fun learning how to do it efficiently. With the help of many YouTube videos, and some advice from friends, it was a most enjoyable experience and I would gladly do it again. 

My pre-formed ring shanks are a selection of animals and they are really pretty and look great on the hand.

Let me know what you think and what you are making.

Good morning

This is my first coherent day after the Royal Agricultural Show on the Isle of Man.  The show was long but fun and very well attended, so if you dropped in to see my stall then I hope you found something you liked and enjoyed exploring the event.

Last week, prior to the show, I was busy making lots of last minute jewellery - so here are a couple of items for you to see.  The first is a suite of jewellery made from turquoise chips and round red striped agate.  The necklace has a front fastening, the bracelet is elasticated and the ear rings are long drops.

The second is a knotted necklace made from repurposed ceramic beads (which remind me of barley twist sweets from my childhood) in a very Chinese green.  With this in mind I have used a thick red sparkly thread to knot and they look great.

I hope you are enjoying the sun and feel free to let me know what you are making.
