Got a newly cast set of Lovers ring. Should I keep them bright and polished or oxidise them? And what stone. The same or different? Thinking they would work as a set for a couple.

Impractical ? Yes. Do I love it? Also yes. Woodland inspired witchy ring with two stones. Moonstone and Moss Agate.

We have a 8mm moonstone in one side. Thinking a moss agate in the other.

Test cast arrived. It's been oxidised and polished back (might need a tad more). Now I just need to decide on two stones. Working name " As above, so below". I love the idea of having two stone and just turning the ring round when you want a different vibe.

Really digging the craggy, raw feel of these mountainous rings, so I carved another. This time, it's reversed, polished shank and rough oxidised face, with a #garnet preform inclusion. #silverjewelry

🔮 one of my Lovers Tarot Rings with a Tanzanite stone in.

Working on my wax carving. Goal was for the shank to feel carved from stone, high polish flat face, large semi rough gemstone. Was torn between my herkimer diamond & polyhedral preform garnet. Settled on the Herk for this one. Might have to do my answer to a Dwarven Ring of Power at some point. 🪨💎

About to test cast a branchy, witchy tree ring.

Playing with some new ideas and simpler forms.

Finally settling on an illustration that sums up the things that inspire me.

Also been thinking about textures and shapes that might work with a dodecahedral garnet I have.

No thoughts, brain smooth.
Rabbit hole of indecisive scribbles.
Not sure what's the right route, once I have worked that out then I can change fonts and lock ups to more considered options.

Three WIPs for some branding. I'm still not sure about any of them. Being decisive is something I am working on.

Thanks Toby, and to everyone who has replied! These were very early concepts, font, etc, are not final at all. Just wanted to try and gauge initial reactions. Have done some very quick and rough adjustments to give these a more locked up, intentional feel.

Sketch, model, resin print to check, mold, cast, hand finish.

It is my first #PortfolioDay

I'm a jewellery designer from the UK. I'm terrible at taking photos, but have some sketches vs model vs final pieces. As well as some sketch from my collection of Tarot inspired rings. 🗡🐍

I'm just working on my branding for my jewellery side hustle, but in the meantime, here are some examples of the sort of stuff I make.
