A HUGE beast of a chain, weighing 255g, that's over ¼ Kilo. The design is the classic full Persian, but in this case, made bigger and with square wire. Very solid, very heavy, and very stunning.

This one was a custom commission. After recycling the silver and making the rings and a starter piece, the customer was able to continue assembling the chain himself (following my video). I then soldered the ends and polished it for him.

Contact me if Interested. I can make another one or a bracelet to order.

The customer brought in a worn and faded 'costume jewellery' pendant. Asking me to recreate it in solid silver. I dont have mould-making and casting equipment, so I made it by hand, completely from scratch. About 11 separate pieces.

A memory preserved....

A stunning collaboration with a special customer. He made the stone himself, using different coloured resins, and incorporated a vital sprinkle of his mother's ashes. He trusted me to create a silver mount for it. When he saw the bird carved out of the back, we all cried (even me). It was such an emotional moment and a very special piece. Shown here, with special permission from the customer.

A petal from a funeral rose. Dried and preserved forever in resin and set into a heart-shaped pendant. Note that the tiny petal fragments are cut into hearts. Handcrafted in sterling silver by Dave Wilson of Celtic Dreams.

A pencil sketch by the customer, realised into a solid silver pendant, complete with hand engraving and patina to give an aged look. You may notice we opted not to add the little leaves (sepals), as they might make it sharp and pointed. But I can, of course, add them later if the customer wants them.

Two very large and heavy silver rings, well-used and very scratched. The first was resized larger and fully restored to a mirror shine. The second was melted down, and the metal was used to make a small rose to be added to the first ring. All sterling silver, with 14k gold plating to highlight the handmade rose. All work by Dave WIlson.

All melted down, cast into gold bars and transformed into a new torc bangle and a new curb bracelet. And with almost no waste. Both German 333 8ct yellow gold.
