The studio creates © Bh ‘sautoirs’ quite often, they dash out of the place quickly Saturday, May 16 2020

When client’s commission them they are filled with sentiment and extra meaning . . . Megan’s one is meant to be worn long but it looked terrific doubled when she tried it on. I’ve prepared two details (cause I can) – enjoy everyone . . .

© Bh Commission Megan Huppert – Lariat. 110cm Long necklace of one half 10mm round matt onyx and other half 8mm round polished onyx beads all on knotted silk thread. Beads slide through Textured C ring which has Megan’s emerald cut citrine in partial rub-over setting.

Two antique carved bone objects given the treatment by © Jeweller to the Lost Friday, May 1 2020

Formally a brooch sold by Warwick Oakman in Richmond, Tasmania – now owned by Sharon at Lancasters Antiques in Toowoomba, Shazzie asked Barb if she could turn it into a wearable pendant. Barbara pointed out that she had a similar one from Michael & Vanessa at Michael Allen Antiques at Stanley Street East, in Brisbane.

They hatched a plan back in August 2019 and its taken this long to find half a day to devote to their own stuff . . . “make a large bail attach to a cut out shape with flat claws, find and cut out an oval pearl shell backing, oxidised the silver and mount and set”

Barbara’s own bone piece was complex enough, we just oxidised the backing . . .

Not the usual party for Leila’s birthday due to social distancing – not the usual commission brief either Friday, Apr 24 2020

Her parents did a virtual brief, Marilyn with the gems and ring samples, Barbara 3 meters away and Damien on the other end of the phone, reviewing images and talking on the fly . . .

Oxidised 925 silver with reticulated surface, punch set round brilliant cut hydro-thermal emerald.

Anytime is a good time for an ‘upgrade’ . . . marking significant life events makes sense Friday, Apr 24 2020

Janet Gibson is one of our long-time ‘serial offenders’. Her request was to check over both her Lariat and Signature Bracelet and add some . . . oomph elements to both.

Three shots of the one commissioned bangle © Bh – Jeweller to the Lost – Brisbane Australia.

In fact its her second one and Barbara has been adding elements and gems (rubies & pink tourmalines) as requested, this one is the “red” solid 18ct yellow gold one. The first one, started years ago is the “green” one.
