This Christmas I have some beautiful heart shaped pieces, this set has a touch of rose gold to add to the love!

I have lots of lovely new sparkly pendants and blingy rings in stock now for the festive season, so there is no excuse not to rock that party!

I have lots of lovely new stock in for Christmas, some of which I will be featuring over the next month. Here’s a sneaky peek at some of the gorgeous amber we have in shop, come and have a look?!?

A customer was so happy with a ring we made for her from an inherited ring that she didn’t like, that she asked us to make a pendant to match it from the gems that were left over! Have you got something you never wear sitting in a box somewhere? Why not give it a revamp??

A Mum wanted to get her daughter something to treasure for a special birthday. She chose a morganite stone which was made up into a ring, and she even had a special message engraved on the inside!

A lovely young man had vey little that belonged to his late mother, he really wanted to be able to carry a piece of her with him at all times so I designed a signet ring that could incorporate her own within his. Very emotional!

I redesigned this ring for a customer who loved the colour of the rubies but thought it old fashioned and boring! By rotating the cluster and setting within a rose gold split shank it now has a new lease of life!

This ring was made from one inherited by a customer, she really didn’t like the old one and never wore it. This one however, she could hardly wait to wear! In fact she loves it so much she wouldn’t take it off, so she wore it out of the shop!

This lovely customer knew exactly what she wanted. She brought in her own drawings and we made her dream into a reality, I love my job!

Oh my goodness, look what I went and did!! We now have some loose pink diamonds for me to get busy and make up into stock, incredibly rare and oh so pretty!!

What could be more simple? A customer brought in this beautiful amethyst that had been sitting in a box hidden from sight for nearly twenty years. It now has a new lease of life after being made into a ring with the simplest of settings.

A very sad customer had lost one her terribly sentimental earrings and was wondering if we could help. I suggested making the remaining earring into a ring, and added a leaf design to the shoulder to mirror the earring, happily she is no longer sad!

An avid angler and good friend asked me to make him a bangle depicting a salmon, the result was a heavyweight torque open bangle with salmon head at one end and tail at the other. He asked if I can do other fish? Of course is the reply!!

A customer was saddened to have lost one of her favourite earrings that had very fond memories attached, we were happy to make her a duplicate ruby earring, and she was delighted to have a pair again!

The latest new stock is in, and I am delighted to be able to offer some seriously lovely jewellery at seriously competitive prices! Beautiful engagement and wedding rings of different styles set in 18ct or platinum, what could be more perfect?

Another big and impressive piece to come out of the workshop recently is this lovely labradorite pendant, a rock of a gemstone that was purchased on holiday. Something simple was requested, sometimes less is more!

A customer brought in a diamond five stone ring, with only four diamonds left! Her choice was to decide to get a replacement diamond set in a ring she was not particularly fond of, or design a new ring she would wear and enjoy. She chose the latter, and the result was very sparkly!!

This ring has been made up for a lovely customer using old scrap gold she inherited from her mother after she sadly passed away. She wanted something she could put on and leave, that would be suitable for her to work in but wasn’t boring! Now she can keep a little bit of her Mum close always.

A lovely couple asked us to make a ring for them in the shape of their gorgeous greyhound, Ralph. They had seen the horse ring we made for another customer and loved the idea of Ralph sitting proud on her finger, happily they loved him!

Continuing the animal theme, I made this simple silver hare necklace for someone recently and engraved on the back a nice message for the recipient.

Ta Dah!! Here she is, all finished. We used a cold casting technique that enabled the pig to have all the detail of the original model, we think she’s turned out beautifully don’t you?

This is an unusual one! A customer requested we find her a silver pig, but everything we showed her just wasn’t how she wanted it. She found a little toy one that was perfect so we cast up that piggy using some silver spoons she had, and …… wait for it!!

It continues to be busy in the workshop, with the emphasis on animals at the moment. This is a memorial ring to a beautiful horse called Arnie made in 18ct white gold with a diamond star he’s jumping over!

It may be a “snow day” for many, but I’m still here!! Jackey L Jewellers is open as normal, 9am-5pm daily. I may be hovering over the heater, but I’m open for business!

This huge stone was bought by a lovely lady in a flea market in Amsterdam, and she brought it to us to make it into a pendant for her. The result is definitely a showstopper!

The latest piece of stock from the workshop is this lovely 18ct white gold sapphire and diamond three stone ring with a wrap round setting, something a little different!

A gentleman wanted to buy a wedding ring for his upcoming marriage but just couldn’t find the right one, they were too plain or too fancy, but they were never just right! We sat down together and designed a simple band with enough of a difference to make him happy. Roll on the big day!

Someone loved our emerald “bubble” ring so much we have had it made up for her in platinum and featuring her favourite gemstone tanzanite, all with the added sparkle of diamonds!

Last Friday was a wet and miserable day, so I thought a little interesting fun was required! I had an old beaten up ring mount from a customer to find something to fit, I decided to cut a piece of local amber which turned out to have a lovely smoke ring effect inside. I love amber, you never know what you’re going to get until the final polish!

A lovely grandmother-to-be gave me a little pouch of mixed gemstones to make into a necklace for the lucky Mum-to-be, the result was a statement piece with sentiment!

Another beautiful ring from our workshop is this 18ct white gold ruby and diamond swirl ring. It has nothing to do with Valentines Day, just for lady who loves ruby and diamond!

This gorgeous 18ct white gold tanzanite and diamond cluster is hot out of the workshop! Handmade to my design, it has a 1.7ct oval tanzanite and is surrounded by 0.18ct diamonds.

A gentleman asked us to re create a ring that his wife had seen and fallen in love with on a TV advert! A quick internet search and picture gave me something to work with, it was a complete surprise and delight for her!

I have just had the privilege of replacing a lovely customer’s sapphire from her ring. Sadly the old one was lost, but she knew it was a “cornflower blue” sapphire, we got some in for her to choose and the end result was simply stunning!!

A customer had a favourite costume ring she loved and wore until it lost the plating and began to look very tired! We cast up her fake ring in fab silver so now she has the real deal!

I was chatting with a new customer who was frustrated that she couldn’t find exactly what she wanted anywhere (and had been looking a long time!) I asked what it was she wanted, then made it for her! Happy customer, happy me!

How about something different? This ring was made for a lovely customer with scrap gold and two Tanzanites she already had, I came up with the design and added her favourite gemstone Peridot to complete the ring.

If you’re stuck for a gift don’t forget we have beautiful Christmas themed jewellery that comes in it’s own bauble box with a ribbon to hang straight on the tree! Snowflakes, reindeer, snowmen, candy canes, and all with no wrapping involved!!

This engagement ring was made for a customer to propose on the anniversary of their first date! He wanted a high setting with hearts incorporated, he loved it and so did she!!

It’s been a busy few weeks in the workshop for us, this is just one of many jobs to have been completed lately! A gentleman brought in a pendant of his and he wanted to have two copies made, one for each of his sons. Can you spot the original???

This ring came to us beyond repair, and the customer decided she wanted a bigger look so we obliged and upgraded the wow factor with an extra row of diamonds! Blingtastic!

A lovely young couple came in looking for a pearl engagement ring, she was very specific in what she wanted, Art Deco and a low set pearl that wouldn’t catch on everything. While pearls are not ideal as an engagement ring as they are delicate,  everyone was very pleased with the result and she’s promised to take good care of it!!

This beautiful pendant was made for a customer from her husband’s wedding ring and a heart he had once given her. She wanted something that could be worn always to keep a piece of him close.

This personalised wedding ring was made with the customers gold from family sentimental pieces that had seen better days!

This lovely 18ct white gold wedding ring has been made with all of the birthstones for her children, plus one for her and her hubby to be, mirrored on either side of a central twist. Unique!

Another bespoke piece completed! A customer had two emeralds and no ideas, I supplied the ideas and we made a lovely slider pendant for her!

We’ve finished a lovely ring made from the customer’s old engagement ring and an inherited ring in time for her anniversary, now it’s time to open the bubbly!

We are open 9-5 as normal today, Good Friday, and 9-4 on Saturday. We will be closed Sunday and Monday. Thank you.

They’re all a happy event, but this one even more so as it’s my step daughter. Her fiancé had a design in mind, and luckily he has excellent taste! It was never more a pleasure to make the ultimate token of love!!

This beautiful Art Deco platinum emerald and diamond ring was missing an emerald, we had a specialist calibre cut a new one to fit. One happy customer!

This customer decided she needed a ring for her right hand, no particular reason, she just did! We designed and made this one for her in 9ct white gold.

This bangle and ring set was made using some scrap gold from the customer along with diamonds from a ring which she had but never wore. As her birthday is in December she decided to mix diamonds with her birthstone, et voila!

It’s been a busy summer in the workshop, and I’m well overdue some updates! Let’s start with something as simple as the refurbishment of a white gold wedding band, before and after!!

I’ve been trying to photograph the two beautiful natural fancy coloured diamond rings handmade in our workshop that we have left, for a spring advertising feature. What do you think??

This lovely piece was made from sentimental scrap gold and modelled on a favourite costume ring the customer already had.

This creation from the workshop is a Watermelon Tourmaline and diamond ring. The stone is all natural, a pink and green masterpiece of nature! It is accented by diamonds and set in 18ct white gold, one of a kind!!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our lovely loyal customers for their support this year! We really do appreciate you all, no matter if it’s just a watch battery, every little helps keep us on the High Street! We hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a joy filled and peaceful New Year!
Hope to see you in 2016!

The rings were turned into a piece of multi functional jewellery, it has a brooch fitting so it can be worn as a brooch, and a fold away bale so she can wear it as a necklace “near to her heart”. Not a dry eye!!

We have just completed a very moving piece of jewellery. A lovely customer wanted to use her late husband’s wedding ring along with her engagement ring to make a piece of jewellery she could wear all the time. Designs were drawn for a pendant….

Just made a bespoke ring for a lovely young man to propose with! He designed it, we supplied the stones, and he wanted his intended’s birthstone Peridot to be included. Of course she said yes!

To this! Hey Presto, a new look to an old friend! 

This customer decided she would like to use some old gold that was unwanted to revamp and refresh a much loved diamond pendant. So we went from this………

The wedding ring was made to take up the slack,

With fitted twist section hidden round the back!

How happy was I? Averted disaster!

And now? Well they live Happily Ever After!!

I thought and I thunk till my brain it did hurt,

Oh how can it fit, how can I make it work?!

The answer came to me with no moment to spare,

The wedding ring! Yes! It will cradle with care!

The ring will not fit, to that I’m resigned,

To make it do so would change the design,

So pretty this ring, with sentiment divine,

So much would it change, t’would hardly be thine!

Another interesting job, in 4 parts! Please forgive the poor attempt at poetry!!

Atop Kilimanjaro on bended knee,

Ross asked fair Hannah “will you marry me?”

The secret proposal was planned with such skill,

What was she to say but “of course, I will!!”

Once the design was finalised and tweaks approved we could go ahead and make the 18ct version and set all the beautiful gemstones in it!

Once we had a design we made a silver version so the customer could see a physical version of the drawings. This allowed them to fine tune the design so it would be what they wanted!
