SOME EXAMPLES OF COMMISSIONS         
​See "Commissions Gallery" for images of other pieces

​
MUCH OF MY WORK IS COMMISSIONED
 ​
I enjoy working closely with clients who are welcome into my workshop to discuss and sketch creative ideas which can be translated into jewellery artworks.  

Alternatively, designs can be discussed by telephone, email or drawings sent by post.
THE BISHOP OF GRANTHAM

Commission to make Pectoral Cross and Bishops' Amethyst Ring, worn here at his Consecration at Lincoln Cathedral.

THE BOWES MUSEUM - SILVER SWAN

Commission to make a limited edition of silver swan brooches to sell in the Shop.  

The design was taken from the Bowes Museum's logo.  A prototype was made & approved before making a master ready for casting.  Handmade brooch findings were then added before hallmarking & polishing.

SET OF 6 DOUBLE-SIDED DRESS STUDS
​
I was presented with an antique cufflink made from mother of pearl with a small pearl in the centre.  

The design was copied with holes being drilled through mother of pearl discs to set the pearls on metal stems.  All the metal work was done by hand.
On the reverse are black onyx discs.

RECYCLING 

The client wanted to re-use two chipped emeralds from a ring of highly sentimental value.  

We discussed & sketched various ideas before deciding on the final design & texture of the gold background.
If I am unable to create the commission myself due to lack of tools or expertise in certain areas,
​I know a person who can!
LASER ETCHING

The client wanted a specific design for his ring which was too costly to produce by hand.

The silver ring was laser etched then oxidised to create the desired effect.
SIGNET RINGS

Signet rings are carved by specialist master craftsmen & are supplied with a wax impression of the ring.

If you require a signet ring, set with a stone, or in plain metal, or engraved metal of exceptional quality, please contact me.
