Tools down! 🛠️✨

​Taking a little breather until the 20th April to soak up some quality time with my wee girls. I’m looking forward to switching off and being fully present with them for a bit.

​I’ll be back at my desk and catching up on all your lovely messages, emails and commissions once I’m back on Monday the 20th.

Thank you all once again for all your wonderful support and for keeping me busy. I appreciate you all ♥️

​Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

✨ From Tired to Timeless: A Golden Transformation ✨

​Take a peek behind the bench! 🛠️ This gold ring recently came into the studio needing some TLC. It’s a bit of a long watch, but seeing the journey from "well-worn" back to "sparkly and ready to be worn again" is so worth it.

​Watch the process unfold! 💍

Happy Easter everyone 🌸🐣

I thought I’d re-share a blog post I wrote a few years ago on jewellery remodelling. Remodelling is a big part of my work, and with the recent increase in precious metal prices, more people are exploring ways to transform their existing jewellery.

If you’re unsure what remodelling involves, or feel hesitant about updating a sentimental piece passed down from a loved one, then my blog post is definitely worth a read 💍💛

Also those of you already making jewellery and would like to learn how to start remodelling old jewellery yourself I offer this as a one to one class. I can also do a small group for this max of 3 students.
So please get in touch if this is something you'd like to add to your skills set
