Creating the Perfect Pi Pendant
Pi pendants have a storied history, being worn extensively in ancient China.
For the ancient Chinese, jade was considered a heavenly gem, connecting heaving and earth.
As such,in ancient China, jade was frequently used in Pi pendants, worn by those considered of pure and high moral standing.
Here, I am playing with possible accent gemstones for my client`s new commission - rhodolite garnet and ruby - colours that directly complement jade.

Creating the Perfect Pi Pendant
My client had frequently worn (and loved) the Jade Pi Pendant that she had acquired during her extensive travels to the Far East.
Alas, after years of wear, and with great sadness on the part of my client, the pendant broke irreparably.
My enterprising client managed to salvage the most important part of her Pi pendant, the beautiful jade, which she kept safely in her jewellery box until the time was right to consider a redesign.
Her original Pi pendant was of a traditional, simplistic design but, she wondered, could a more opulent setting be designed for the jade in her new pendant?
With such an unusual shape of gemstone to work with, this commission was certainly going to test both my creative abilities and bench skills.
Once again, it was time to get busy at the bench.

Perfection, Magnified.
As a fine jeweller I frequently work using magnifiers - whether it be my trusty Opti-Visor (goggle-like glasses with a selection of magnifying lenses), my jeweller`s loupe (the eyeglass familiar to most jewellery aficionados) or even a microscope (used for certain setting styles including intricate micro-pave work).
But by far the most exciting is see your work magnified on a screen after being professionally photographed.
It`s as if the on screen image puts distance between you and the piece, allowing you to view it from an entirely different perspective.

The ancient Greeks believed diamonds were fragments of falling stars - and, if it`s your birthday this month, we certainly hope you`ll sparkle appropriately!
Happy birthday to all our diamond girls!

An unbreakable bond - the love between a mother and her child.
For my friends and clients in the UK and Ireland - wishing you a very Happy Mother`s Day!
(And for my brother in South Africa who is now doubtless panicking that he forget to get Mom some chocolates - relax! You have until May 11th to get yourself to the shops 😆😆😆).

If you`re in the UK, don`t forget to put your clocks forward tonight to "spring forward" into British Summertime!

Here, in all their glory are the beautiful art deco inspired labradorite 9K white gold engagement ring and spectacular fitted wedding bands.
The hypnotic play of colour in the centre stone labradorite can really only be seen in a video and (spoiler alert) the magic in this video really starst to happen at 20 seconds.
I absolutely adore this ring but couldn`t help wondering... would my client and, most importantly, his fiancée-to-be love the ring as much as me?
As always, I would just have to wait and see...

In all its glory... professional photos of my client`s stunning art deco inspired labradorite engagement ring.
Picture 2: I`m often asked to show the reverse of the ring which, in this instance, shows the classic style gallery used to bezel set these stones and the open space beneath the gorgeous labradorite cabochon.
