jewellery at the Tiny Gallery in Henley

The lovely Tiny Gallery in Henley has a new selection of my jewellery with gemstones. On their website, they are currently showing a small selection of the jewellery. More pieces are in the gallery. There are earrings and pendants with brillaint red beryllium treated sapphires. There is a bangle, pendant, earrings, a brooch and rings with garnet - both faceted garnets and cabochon garnets. There are also several pieces with black checkerboard cut onyx cabochons. Here are some photos of my jewellery you can see at the Tiny Gallery!

Stacking rings commission

A couple of months ago, I met someone at the Henley Arts Trail who had a big birthday coming up and wanted something special to mark that day. She had two stacking rings already - one with moonstone (her husband's birth stone) and one with garnet (her birth stone). She wanted to add to the stack with two more rings - one with another garnet (her son's birth stone) and one with green tourmaline (her other son's birth stone). So first thing was to stretch the existing rings - very carefully - as they were already a bit too tight and adding more rings means you need them to be a bit wider usually. The wider a ring, the larger the size you need. Then I made two ring bands to match the existing ones in size - 1.5mm thick horizontally and 1.4mm thick vertically. The garnet was slightly larger, at 5mm, so I bezel set that one on 1mm sheet with a hole cut out of the bottom. The green tourmaline was 4.5mm, so I tube set that one. And this is how they turned out (with the two new rings on top of the existing ones):
