Some more new pieces just finished

Back again, i have just been working away today on a few pieces, the necklace, bracelet and earrings are for a commission, so they are going to their new home soon, The bracelet which is all made using sterling silver with the flower in the centre is another design to add to my little flower collection, as i said before im trying to work on some jewellery that will be a bridal collection. It's been great the past two weeks, ive been off on holiday from my normal full time job, and i have been working away at my workshop which has been great. Tonight im heading out for a while to enjoy a few vino's and to watch the parade/fancy dress in musselburgh. Hope you all have a great weekend,x

Here is a piece i made at the workshop today, this piece measures just over 3". Im thinking i might start a collection for brides, but just need to push myself to see who wants to stock them, im not a fan of knocking on doors so to speck. I have been on holiday all this week and it's great as i have been going into my workshop on a few days, rather than a few hours at night here and there. Tomorrow is my birthday so thinking i will go out for lunch with the family, that should be nice, Now i think i might sit and relax with a lovely chilled glass of rose wine.xx

Here is a ring that i made at the weekend,the sterling silver sheet has been put through the rolling mill to add texture, I have added some 24k gold leaf onto the small flower, and in the centre of the ring i have set a small rough peridot. the finished piece has been oxidised. will be adding a few more pieces and hopefully get some listed onto my etsy site www.silvermeadows.etsy.com

More new work

Here is some more new pieces that i have made over weekend, There is more of my little collection of flowers, i love making these in all shapes ans different metals. The earring measure just over an 1" long all in sterling silver. The pendant is also all made using sterling silver this measures over 1", the cab is a black tourmaline quartz, The detail in the stone is just gorgeous, i have cut little flower shapes in the back so you can see more detail. On another note at my workshop this weekend we have been doing ready steady jewel, this is where we have some local jewellers and graduates that have just finished uni, they design a piece, we give them the materials all supplied by a local company, they then have 9 hours to make there piece, then it all gets hallmarked, then on the 30Th August we have a auction, all the money that is raised goes to charities, Chas is one of them this year plus 3 more, I'm really looking forward to seeing all the finshed work. I have also set a face book page with all my work so if you want to follow me just search for silvermeadows, and suggest more people to like me (cheers). I will hopefully add some of my new pieces to etsy this week, it needs a revamp i think. I'm off on holiday next week for 2 weeks, but no holidays for me this year, but I'm in need of some sun, the weather here is rain rain floods, Scottish weather eh. will blog again this week hopefully,x
