The Granny Glad Factor






My First Exhibition.

A big shout out to everyone who took the time to come and see my first exhibition.
















My City




Play Time






More Circles

For when you have nothing but Silver Wire.





Circles and Lines

I have been working on taking my design process back to the basics - Circles and Lines.

Through my experimentation and research, I became heavily influenced by the Lines and Circles in Nature.

The following pieces are oxidized 925 Silver and silk cord.









Missing Stones

I feel like sometimes the stone takes away from the delicateness of the setting. Rings are commonly identified by their stones, and not how the stone is held, which can be just as important as the stone.
The Missing Stones Series draws the attention to the setting.











Broken Setting #1




Mix and Match series



Further inspired by the rings of older ladies, these rings are designed to be worn one, two or three at a time.
The oxidized 925 Silver contrast with the Cubic Zirconias represents the contrast between the traditional rings on my great grandmothers and the modern rings my sisters wear.
