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 are often breaking up other jeweller’s work, making items more up-to-date – sometimes fixing original design shortcomings. I’m not telling names though. These two large stones were remnants from a necklace that will ride again as earrings beautifully held in partial settings with those signature © Bh hooks that the studio does so well.

All the gems in the top two are from Greg’s family, topaz and opals mined and locally cut last century in Queensland. Jemina selected two different gems from the studio as a second set, Aqua Chalcedony square cabochon and Blue Chalcedony carved flower set in 18ct yellow gold and 925 silver.

Our most wonderful client is moving back to the United States of A next Friday with her husband Dave and two little-ies, we will miss her but we know that we are friends forever. The ‘Texas Lady’ was first in with a gem purchase from last year’s studio sale over the internet. The designs came a little later and now almost 6 months later these articulated earrings are about have their first test drive. Pendant © Bh Earrings have a pair of nipped pillow cut Amethysts in a tapered textured box setting above a pair of square cabochon Pink Tourmalines in a textured channel-style setting above an even larger pillow cut Amethyst in beaded surround with claw setting. Each section linked to the next to allow movement with hooks in 18ct Yellow Gold. Two more shots – here and here.
We say ‘most wonderful’ because Debra knows her gems and has jewellery from makers the world-over. Her taste is divine and she manages to juxtapose elements as if we were doing it ourselves, we just have a three-way connection. Safe travel and home-coming wishes go out to the Smith-Longs from Jeweller to the Lost (we LOve you)!
