Colin approached me to make a really special gift for him wife Paula, for their wedding anniversary. They wanted a version of the 'Ribbon of Life Ring', with my signature twisted ribbon and the gold granules, which represent the journey of married life, with it's twists and turns and highs and lows.
This one was particularly special, with a stunning sapphire at it's centre and two diamonds set into the granules to represent the couple's sons.
I engraved stars into the setting of the sapphire and also stamped a personal message into the inside of the ring, making this thoughtful gift perfect for the lovely couple.
These statement earrings were made for Tamsyn, a gift from her husband Darren to celebrate the birth of their twin daughters. Each stone represents a member of the family, An aquamarine, a peridot and two opals, representing the twin babies!
The twisted and hammered drops fall from the stud fitting catching light and sparkling with every movement, I also made a custom back to keep the earrings sitting perfectly on Tamsyn's ears.
"Hi Emma, Tamsyn absolutely loved the earrings. She was overwhelmed by them in fact. You did an amazing job. Thanks so much, Darren."
Cheryl had this beautiful gemstone in her drawer for 20 odd years, just waiting for the right moment to have it made into a stunning piece of jewellery. This was formed in 18ct gold and simply set to showcase the beautiful citrine
This one was a birthday gift for Julia, a 40th gift from her other half. Julia is a mum of twins girls and a older son, the stones were to represent the children, I used their birthstones hung from a dramatic and chunky piece of reticulated silver on a long chain to be worn long or layered with other necklaces.
This was one that just worked. I wanted to keep it! Thankfully it was very much appreciated and after the birthday, Julia commissioned me to make her a pair of matching earrings, so I guess she must have liked her necklace very much!
A gift for Sarah, from her sister and parents for her 40th birthday. Sarah is a busy mum of 3 and her family wanted to buy her something she would wear everyday that would fit with her busy lifestyle.
This silver necklace has a diamond set into a simple tube set which dangles in the centre of the gap, so that there is lots of movement and each ring moves independently of the others while still holding it's overall shape.
Sarah cried when she opened her gift, with happy tears and wears her necklace everyday.
This necklace and earring set was commissioned as a retirement present by Patrick for his wife, Alison. Alison is a bee fan, and also the chairwoman of the local bee keeping society.
I made the bee in silver and 18ct yellow gold, sculpting in molten metal and then working on the top to add definition and detail, the necklace was created with silver twisty links, formed to look like the wood of a tree branch. The flowers were centred with 18ct granules of pollen, which also dotted around the rest of the necklace and the earrings.
The bee was finished with some oxidation to create the black and gold of the bumble bee. I studied bee species and worked up lots of drawings, because it was important to Patrick that the bee be a true representation of one of our native species.
Here I made not one, but two matching bands in 18ct white gold that swept round Tracy's engagement ring (I didn't make the engagement ring) Then I set some accent diamonds into the bands.
Tracy is one of my closest friends and someone I've known since Primary School, so this commission was a little scary but such an honour to be asked and I even got to see the lucky couple get married!
