New month, new rings! This month's birthstone is A

New month, new rings!
This month's birthstone is Aquamarine, the blue variety of Beryl ✨
For the occasion I made 2 rings! One is actually a 2 rings set, but they are meant to be worn together. It's made if silver with gold drops and a beautiful oval cabochon. It has some inclusions which hold the story of the gem ✨
The other ring was also crafted in silver with little gold drops on the sides. It holds a raw Aquamarine crystal. Typical for this variety of gemstone, the crystal grows in a rode shape. They are not always perfectly formed but this one is quite alright and has a beautiful blue hue. I took a more contemporary approach to this design and I really like it! Unisex as well, a man could totally rock this ring (🥁🤣)
Not on the website yet but 1 DM away!
Have a great sunday dears ✨

Don't forget to like if you like it cause this algorithm is killing me! Wondering if it still makes sense to post honestly... So if you're still here, show it to me! ❤️

Illustration created by @nobirs, representing the family.
A modern take on the classic coat of arms.
Engraved in a less traditional way, but by yours truly anyway ;)

Made from recycled gold ✨👩‍🏭

Two hammered bands, designed to belong together, with a wider ring for him.

She chose a green tourmaline baguette as her engagement ring, sitting seamlessly next to her hammered wedding band. It had been a while since I made one of my signature baguette rings, so it means a lot that this design was chosen as a symbol of their love.

There’s no better compliment than someone choosing your work to wear for the rest of their lives.

They each went for a different finish. His ring has a matte texture, hers is polished. The baguette ring is matte as well, with only the setting and small details subtly polished.

Very grateful for such meaningful assignments! ✨✨✨❤️

New month, new jewelry!

February’s birthstone is Amethyst! This pretty purple gemstone is from the Quartz family.

This time I made a new pair of earrings. They are asymmetrical, one is a trillion and the other an oval. Both are made with a beautiful big deep purple stone.
They’re crafted in silver with a little diamond on the bottom, squished into a little melted gold nugget.
You know I’m not too big a fan of thin hooks, I prefer to hide the hole, so I made them pendants to wear on little hoops.

They are lightweight but still a statement 💜✨ Do you like amethysts 👀?

Another brooch! ✨ This amethyst was originally se

Another brooch! ✨

This amethyst was originally set in another piece of jewelry, which I melted down to create something completely new. From that gold arose this beautiful little bird, set with tiny diamonds (also recycled).
He sits proudly on that deep purple gem 💜
A little celebration of my client’s love for birds (yes, another bird lover, a real one!!) and her newfound love for brooches!
They’re so versatile: you can mix and match them, pin them wherever you want, and instantly add colour and fun to an outfit. They definitely reflect a bit of your personality!
And if this year’s Golden Globe party is anything to go by… they’re making a big comeback ✨

So if you want one too, you know where to find me 😉 I already have a few ideas in mind, I just need to find the time to bring them to life soon!

Last year, I made a few brooches and really wanted to create more. I had the ideas, but somehow ran short on working hours…
To start the year, one of my beloved customers asked me to craft a few new ones for her.
This piece is inspired by the one I made for her last summer, but this time in recycled gold with a fire opal. The original was crafted in silver with a brown-orange tourmaline (3rd slide).
I’ve always loved these mother-of-pearl shells, but initially had no idea what to make with them. Now I feel a little brooch serie coming 😆

Is 2026 going to be the real return of the brooch?
I like them. I actually wear mine almost daily.
Would you wear one too?

It’s kind of classic, but really elevates an outfit ✨
I made a few more for this lady, I’ll show you soon. Maybe you’ll fall in love with them too!

Signet ring with Lapis Lazuli in recycled gold Cr

Signet ring with Lapis Lazuli in recycled gold

Crafted from scratch!

I started with a block of wax and filed it until it looked like a ring.
Then I sent it to the caster, who used the client’s old gold.
When I got the ring back, it still had two sprues attached. I removed those, then filed and sanded everything all over again. After that, I fitted the stone and set the gem.
Quite nerve wracking, because I had to use quite some force to keep the lapis in place and stones can break.
Once the stone was set, I could file and sand some more, followed by a good polish and tadaa!
It’s been a while since I made a signet ring, and they’re definitely more difficult than they look. I absolutely love the outcome, and the colour of the lapis with the yellow gold is a match made in heaven.
If I were to create one for myself, I’d definitely go for a similar gem.
Too bad the lighting is so bad, can’t wait for winter to be over. Until then, you’ll just have to believe me.

So who wants a custom signet this year?

I really liked the phase before straightening the edge around the stone. It added some texture to the otherwise very clean look of the ring. Food for thought for a future piece!
