  Classic,Stone set ring's

  Here are just a few examples from the classic collection. A collection that has purely come about from an appreciation of the qualities of the materials and how they can be enhanced to create beautiful designs. These particular designs are made using different styles of stone setting and set with various semi-precious stones. The stones are carefully choosen for there qualities including: colour,pattern, shape and size.

  Swirl ring collection

  Here are three rings from the shell inspired collection.The rings naturally sit together in this way due to their organic shape and form. All of these specific rings from the shell design collection are produced by manipulating the silver wire into the shell inspired designs. I was particularly inspired by the fluid, linear structures that come together to create the shapes and forms of the shells.

  Double whirl ring

  Again as with all of the shell ring collection silver wire has been used to create the form of the ring and this has been achieved by manipulating the wire into spiralling patterns. This ring is an extension of the single raised whirl ring based on the same principle but just taking the design a little further.

  Linear ring

  This piece was produced by fusing together a range of gauges of silver wire. The wires were carefully manipulated to create the form as one piece. The finishing result creates the ridge like qualities found on a shell and the tapering effect achieved by both the size and positioning of the different gauge sized wire. I have purposley left the piece un-finished (not polished) to further the shell like, impression.

  Amber ring

  Made using silver wiring to create the raised criss-crossing effect and etching to create the flower set with an amber stone. This design was inspired by the Art noveau movement which often gained its inspiration from varying cultures and organic themes. The Amber stone was a popular semi-precious stone used during this period.
