Amethyst ring
A large Amethyst cab set onto a hammered finish silver ring. Probably a bit too oversized to wear comfortably but it was quite a satisfying ring to make!
I'm probably doing too many things at once these days but hey ho. I make jewellery, mainly working in silver, and at the moment am dreaming about the day I can start making some automata (always gets put off 'til another day). I restore clock dials for the family clock making business, and make various little decorative bits of metalwork like fingers or anything that needs gold leaf. I do a few hours a week in the local college teaching jewellery as part of the BTEC Design and Foundation Degree courses which I love, it's quite inspirational and keeps the brain ticking over.
