Domed ring.


Sample Domed Ring. I do sample stuff in copper and brass, though if I were to make one to sell I recommend silver.

Sample Hinged Ring.


Sample Hinged ring: This ring was another nightmare to make, it was more the hindge than anything else.

Sample Spoon.

Sample Tea Spoon: I only used brass for the sample, it is un advisable to request one in anything but silver or gold.

Celtic Band: This was a nightmare to make, I had to use a microscope for this.

Sample Spinner Ring.

When I make sample pieces, I make them out of materials like brass and copper, this is an example of a spinner ring, the centre piece spins.

Little Monster


Little Monster: I had to make something non precious for class, so I came up with this.

xox ring

xox ring: The symbols xox is pierced out on this ring and it has a flute finish.

Plain Band

Plain Gump

Bad Medicine Badge.

Bad Medicine Badge: This was an Idea I had, I thought it was original, until I saw my friend lisa with something simular, so great minds think a like I guess. This is very easy to make, if you cant make it I will for you gratis, just supply the materials.

RIP Silver Badge

This was a silver badge that I made, it does have "Rip Beetle Geuse" on it, though it is hard to make out from the picture. I can put any "Rip" inscription on it, if anyone wants one.

Modern Ring


Silver ring with S stamped.

Lightning Bolt Ring.

This was a ring that I made for my self.

The ring is made from silver.
I used a rolling mill to get the pattern onto the metal then cut a lightning bolt symbol out and soldered it on top, unfortunately the ring catches on things now and then, so I will improve the design should I make one again in the future.

I chose the lighting bolt as it has always been one of my favourite symbols, it is often associated with the comic book hero Flash (see link below) and also Thor, also a comic book hero, though more famous known as a mythological Norse warrior (see link below) that shot out lightning bolts when he struck his hammer.

Coffin Pendent

This was the very first piece of jewellery that I sold, it was sold at a Xmas exhibition and sale, I was over the moon with joy, as it got sold within the first half hour of being put on display, unfortunately I did not get to meet the buyer. The pendent sold for £32.00

I have always been fascinated with death and symbols, so came up with the idea of a coffin with the universal cross pierced out in the middle, simple yet an effective idea.

Ankh Ring

This was a ring I made for a Xmas exhibition and sale, it sold for £30.00

The ring is made of silver and the technique that I used for the mane shape of the ring is called fluting, I then shaped a piece of silver wire into the Ankh symbol, then soldered it onto the top of the ring.

The Ankh symbol is an Eqyptian symbol meaning life, click the link below to find more out about the symbol.
