This is all my shapes cut out.

This is them with the rings attached.

New pendant

I have just finished this new pendant, what do you think?

Reindeer Pendant. A bit early 2 think about Christmas?

Ok, so thinking of Christmas a bit early me thinks! But people keep talking about it and its only just september.

But here's a pendant that I just made. I don't usually make themed jewellery as I like jewellery to be lasting and kept rather than to be just a temperary thing. But I do love Christmas and this can be brought out and worn each year.

I designed this pendant and then cut it from a sheet of aluminium.

Ring

As promised this is the ring I have made.

Making a Ring

I decided recently that I would make a ring. I have made one ring before, but it was a flower one very different to my new idea.

I decided to design a ring that I would cut out with a piercing saw. I played with lots of ideas and designs before settling on one.

I did a test run also, which took me a lot of time and had a few problems- mainly some weak points that needed to be stronger (which I took into consideration the next time round).

Here is my final design that I drew out into my notebook.

I then drew this on to the aluminium sheet and began cutting it out with a piercing saw.

This image shows my piece held in a clamp which I use to hold it while cutting.

This is my ring once all cut out and roughly filed.

I need to just do some finishing touches to this ring and then I will upload a pic soon. It currently needs a little more filing and finishing.

Daisy Pendant

I have just made this daisy pendant. It is cut from aluminium, filed and sanded, then a silver bead added.

Pendant From start to finish

This post is to show how I work and how I make a pendant from start to finish.

With all of my jewellery I start off at the designing stage, I tend to have lots of ideas and keep these in a notebook. Sometimes I have an idea and get right on and make it, other times the idea sits untouched for ages and then I come back to it. I have lots of unmade ideas floating about as always!

This shows how I made a layered flower pendant. Once the design was sorted I begin by drawing the shapes I need on to a sheet of aluminium.

I then drill holes where they are needed and then cut these out with a piercing saw.


This is then filed and sanded to get rid of any markings, rough edges etc.


This could then be a pendant on its own, but for this one I was creating a layered pendant and so wanted to add other layers to it.

I did the same to make a smaller aluminium flower and also cut a middle sized flower from plastic. I also choose a bead that I wanted at the centre.

These are the finished pieces layed out ready to be put together. I then layered these up how I wanted them and glued them together.

This is the finished pendant!

Birdie Pendant

New Necklace

I have just made this new necklace.

I used lots of beads that I have recently made combined with some grey ribbon and silver cord. I also used a handcut flower that I made from aluminium and then painted.

I was inspired by the greys and peach colours I've seen used together recently. I think they look really pretty together.

I think this will be a nice summery necklace.
