This week for my folksy friday I have decided to feature top handcrafted homewares. A pretty laptop cover from Toggle - make those laptop days less boring, a delightful little blossom cushion from Emma Jane Designs to adorn your glam boudoirs ladies, a stunning photo from Bear Graphics that reminds me of summer holidays in Cornwall and a cheeky little ceramic animal creature from Wiktorski Ceramics - every home should have one!
I am currently working on setting a beautiful dark faceted stone with a pointed back. Below are some pictures of the stone, work in progress and the setting that I hand cut and shaped out of silver wire to act as a claw and hold the stone in place. This wasn't an easy process but this type of setting really allows the light to hit each cut of the stone, creating a stunning sparkle. Initially I was thinking towards mounting it onto a ring base, but as it is quite a large stone (approx 1cm x 1cxm) I'm now leaning towards mounting it onto a piece of silver wire to create an attractive pendant.
Hello, My name is Trudy and I am a jewellery designer living in Cambridgeshire, England. From my home workshop I love to create unusual and individual jewellery. I especially like working with and manipulating silver and using precious and semi-precious stones from around the world. My designs range from big and bold to simplistic and delicate, taking inspiration from various elements in my life and travels.
