Jeweller's bench:
Sterling silver, crushed pyrite, pyrite beads
I loved my large elasmosaurus necklace so much! Now that's it's off in its new home I decided to make another one. This version is much smaller, the necklace shorter, the crushed stone... more crushed?
It's always an interesting process to scale anything down. It's challenging and exciting and often frustrating. But I'm quite happy with the final product.

Sterling silver, cubic zirconia
A little before and after. This ring was first made a few years ago. I liked the shape and design but it was pretty simple. Before I put it up for sale I decided to give it a bit of a make over.
I remember a time when stone setting was really quite scary for me. I loved stones but avoided using them for fear of doing it wrong or damaging something.
I didn’t have anything new this time I used all the same tools and stones. Only this time I had more experience and confidence. I love how much art can change with just a little more input. (And how a sturdy well made piece can be easily transformed later on).
I really think the new sparkly details and finish really capture what I was going for when I first cast it.

Once the findings and pendant are made it’s beading time 😊 it’s always so exciting to see a project coming together!
