You may have a sentimental or family heirloom item of jewellery, which has been loved and enjoyed but has worn out. Using existing materials/stones, I could create something new.
Below is a slideshow of a client’s found piece of beach glass. Firstly, I cut and ground it to form an oval shape. Then I fabricated a silver mount ready for setting. A strip of silver was then formed to make a ring for the mount to sit on, before finally carefully setting the glass.
The client had supplied me with an existing cherished ring to duplicate. Once complete (having been hallmarked, sized, set and polished), the lucky lady was presented with the ring along with a marriage proposal on the very beach where the beach glass was found.
A platinum ring soon followed, made to fit snuggly on top of the engagement ring.
