This was a commission where I didn’t get to meet the client as they live too far away from me to visit, so all of discussion, design brief, drawings etc was done over email.

Firstly, Hi and thank you to anyone that’s come over here to find out what my announcement is from my last social media post 👋…

The last three weeks have been busy ones both in and out of work and it feels like ages since my last blog so here’s little update…

I’m working well towards completing my latest batch of commissions and currently have several “in progress” pieces both on my bench and off being hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office.

I’ve not had much time for blog writing of late but I’m getting back on the case now! This is a commission from a few weeks ago that I realised I hadn’t shared yet…

The last March Meet The Maker Prompt is “Product Story”. I’ve been thinking about which piece to choose for this post for ages as every one of my commissions comes with a story, but I’ve decided to go with this set of engagement and wedding rings…

This March Meet the Maker post is where I teach you all how to stone set over the internet in 30 seconds!!

Ok, it’s not really. Stone setting “theory” is something that actually isn’t all that hard to learn, but doing it well, so that your stone is in straight and secure takes many many hours of practice, and lots of broken stones!

Today’s March Meet The Maker Prompt is “Favourite Collection”. Throughly is, I don’t think I really have one…I love all my children, sorry pieces of jewellery equally!

As usual I’ve got a bit behind with my March Meet The Maker posts. I think it’s probably to do with how you work through a “process”. I’ve written about it before, how when you get to the middle it all gets a bit mushy and you can loose focus, and I guess I’m at that point with the MMM prompts. So, I definitely need to push through that and get back on track!
