Remember that stunning stone I posted a few days ago?
Well, here’s the finished ring.
It’s a free form cut Australian Sapphire. Unearthed in the Rubyvale area of Queensland and cut here in Australia. I love this free form cut!! It’s a emerald green with a defining blue stripe down the side. These stone truely are one of a kind!

Today I said goodbye to this ring. It’s always a bit sad to farewell a piece you made and love, but it’s lovely to know that it’s off to a good home. I made this piece with inspiration from the classic signet. Flat facets form the top and house the stunning blue Australian sapphires, with a band underneath.
Farewell flat star facet ring! You will be missed my friend.

Sometimes I get to make a really special ring for two lovely people. It's one of the best parts of my job. ⁠
Rod got in touch with me and borrowed my 'Reserve Ring' to make the proposal to Ruby. ⁠
Shortly after he and Ruby made an excited appointment to discuss the design of a really special ring...their engagement ring. Ruby had some ideas of what she would like so together we talked materials and stones. We chose the stone thanks to @langfordgems and style and soon I was making the ring. ⁠
Thanks guys for supporting local makers like me. ⁠
⁠Congratulations guys!

Check out these two rings.
🌿
One is the smallest ring I've ever made for a client and the other is the largest. This ring is so big I didn't even have a ring sizer big enough! I had to improvise with a large anvil. 🌿
Odd that I would finish these two rings at the same time this week, but there you go...mini and maxi occupying the same space for a short time. ⁠😊

Market this weekend! Yay!!⁠
Yep, as things return to normal here in Melbourne we are all enjoying some fantastic freedoms.
🌿
For me this is returning to the Rose Street Artist Market @therosestmarket in Fitzroy - Sat & Sun. 10-4pm.
🌿
It's so lovely to work away at my little desk while customers stroll past, have a chat with my fellow stallholders and get an incredible coffee and lunch from Riso @risoherbivorousdiner
Hope to see you there. 😊

These rings are my favourites to make. They are called the 'Follow the Thread Ring' and I made the first one almost 20 years ago...golly that makes me feel so old! ⁠
⁠🌿
Because of the way it is made, each ring has its own unique pattern - never to be repeated. 🌿
I love that each person has their own thread to follow made from 100% reclaimed/recycled sterling silver with a brushed matt finish. ⁠

Today a ring stack with a few special little rings just for you. I’m absolutely loving working with these unusual free form cut Australian sapphires! So many possibilities!!

Spring time rain - we all get caught in it when the heavens open up and we don't have a brolly (yes, I've been back in Australia for a few years). ⁠⠀
Han and I were on our way back from the supermarket with bags full of shopping and we got totally caught in the rain. Dashing from cover to cover, bags swinging, feet wet - we made it home. We blamed my earrings to the sudden downpour! 🌧

This free form cut Australian sapphire is truly unique. It’s a bi-colour, which means you get this stunning clear division between the blue and the yellow colour of the stone.
Unearthed in the outback of Australia and cut by hand in the gorgeous little town of Harndorf, just outside Adelaide.
Reserved for a special ring - coming soon!

Wedding rings, engagement rings, commitment rings

Wedding rings, engagement rings, commitment rings - whatever the occasion, I have got you covered.⁠
🌿
A core part of my business is to create the right ring for the right person and the sole focus of my practice as a jeweller is to create timeless pieces that can last lifetimes, be treasured and worn everyday, and are made using sustainable materials and methods. ⁠
⁠🌿
With over 20 years experience in the field, I have been making finely crafted, handmade wedding & engagement rings for many years. I am passionate about creating jewellery, which is of a high gold smithing standard and is totally unique. I work very closely with my clients, so I can produce pieces that are tailored to their individual wishes and budget. ⁠
⁠🌿
My custom commissions include a comprehensive creative planning session where ideas will be discussed, styles suggested, and of course, metal and stone options are offered. Also included is a copy of my development sketches and photos of the creation process, which the client can take away to remember the process from its grassroots.
🌿
Each ring I make bears my Coral Covey maker’s mark complete with metal hallmarking and my official certificate of authentication – stating carat quality, date and certification. The final piece comes in a beautifully made, embossed wooden jewellery box, sourced from sustainable woodland in New Zealand. ⁠
⁠🌿
Some clients have a clear idea of what they would like, while others are not sure where to begin. I am accustomed to working with people from all starting points, so I am happy to guide clients through the whole process and help them work out their final design.⁠
⁠🌿
At the centre of my working ethos is a commitment to ethically sourced materials and sustainable practices:⁠
- My workshop in Melbourne is powered entirely with solar energy.⁠
- All packaging is made from natural and recycled materials.⁠
- All metals include the use of recycled gold and/or silver.⁠
- All stones are certified conflict free with a traceable origin. ⁠
⁠🌿
Get in touch if you have a question. Always happy to talk about making you that really special ring. ⁠

A cheeky little birdy flew their way onto this pen

A cheeky little birdy flew their way onto this pendant to take a brief rest. Hopefully they stick around for a while. Sketching birds is a real hobby of mine. They have so much character! This little feathered friend was carved for some friends of mine who wanted something a bit special for their daughter as a christening gift. The back is engraved with her name and birthday. So sweet of them. 100% recycled sterling silver which has been naturally oxidised.

Ring stack - chunky loud and proud. This group of rings are all shapes and sizes, forms and sturctures, shades and carats. They all have their own individual syle and no two are the same. One of a kind, never to be repeated. Which one is your favourite? ⁠⠀

Not exactly jewellery, but with a lot of the same

Not exactly jewellery, but with a lot of the same principles. Over the past weekend I've been helping my Dad out with some things around the property. He knows so much about everything - it's awesome to work with him. From chain sawing trees down to angle grinding star stakes - I'd be lying if I said I hated it. So much fun. Thanks Dad.

Four cheeky little fellows. This group combine all sorts of materials and stones, from rose gold to silver. Australian sapphires to coloured diamonds. Loving working with the combos.
