In the meantime, one commission below has been waiting for collection for ages, (I can now post it I’m told). One commission jetted its way to Tasmania to a client who has four Bh commissions already, but the beau has to pop the question. And finally on the weekend Janet Hogan, collected her new “bell earrings”, and added another commission to her tally . . .
A new twist on Barbara’s five leaf lattice ring with Ruby and Diamonds and 18ct Palladium White Gold.

I’ve had these small gold bells in the collection for ages and they came out in conversation and then Janet asked the studio to hand-make a pair for her. I’ve posted the originals on my design blog here. Do go and view and let me know if you have any idea what the letters say? or suggestions as to their origin.

We have sourced and had cut this Table Cut gem Cubic Zirconia in the same way as a 17th Century diamond cutter would have done it, leaving the round edges unpolished. Cleaving a macle to allow a view into the gem, then simply polishing the existing sides of an octagonal crystal.
