This commission is a good example of less is more. A lightly brushed silver band, with gold waves set into the band.

Looking back on 2025, I realised how much I have done. It's not about quantity, but the pieces I was the most pleased with. New challenges completed as well as commissions that I got such a buzz out of creating. I offer wedding and engagement designs, repair work and commissions. See you 2026.

Hand engraving has been a growing intrest of mine, so I decided to pick up a new skill in Dunblane on a wonderful engraving course.
This is my practice sheet, so a long way to go but very happy with my start.
