“I’m starting my diploma”

05/05/2026

Yesterday my diploma materials for Term One arrived — and it still doesn’t quite feel real.

This journey didn’t start here.

It started with my first courses, learning the fundamentals, making pieces at home, and slowly realising this was something I wanted to take seriously.

Since then, that spark has grown into something much bigger — from early pieces at the bench, to my first international order going all the way to Australia, to now committing to a full year of structured training.

Opening these materials feels like a line in the sand.

This isn’t just practice anymore — it’s a deliberate step towards becoming a professional jeweller.

Grateful for where it started. Focused on where it’s going.

AXIS Hammered Silver Studs — 7mm

Solid. Textured. Intentional.

These 7mm sterling silver studs are finished with a subtle hammered surface — catching light in a way that adds depth without excess. Each piece carries a unique texture, giving a quiet sense of movement across an otherwise clean form.

At 1.3mm thickness, they hold a balanced weight — substantial enough to feel crafted, yet refined for everyday wear.

No stones. No distraction. Just silver, shaped and finished by hand.

A core piece in the AXIS line — where structure meets raw detail.

Details:
• Solid 925 sterling silver
• 7mm diameter
• 1.3mm thickness
• Light hammered finish (each pair unique)
• High polish highlights
• Hand finished

Handmade Sterling Silver Statement Ring

Quietly bold. Effortlessly modern.

This handmade sterling silver ring is sculpted by hand, not cast by trend. Its flowing openwork design wraps the finger in soft movement and negative space, catching light from every angle while remaining refined and wearable.

Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, the ring balances strength with elegance — a piece designed to feel as good as it looks. The smooth, sculptural form makes it a natural statement on its own, yet subtle enough to wear every day.

Details
• Handmade in sterling silver (925)
• Sculptural openwork design
• Smooth, comfortable fit
• Each piece is unique due to handcrafting
