My studio being where it is (in the middle of a national park) makes me a little nervous working on a total fire ban day, so for now I will do a safe working practice, some typing, filing, designing…
I have had a couple of clients recently reignite my imagination where jewellery is concerned. Firstly, a meeting with a client the other day who was looking for a pair of rings for her and her partner. She brought with her the idea of rough diamonds and I’m so pleased she did! I have used rough cut gems before and loved them but have had my attention directed away from them by all things sparkly. Now, however I am thinking of creating a new range of wedding and engagement jewellery using these rough cut beauties and ethical fairtrade gold. As I was thinking about this range another client told me a quote from her upcoming wedding ceremony which just seems to perfectly encapsulate the feel of these amazing things we take from the earth and why we do that…
“As this ring is of the finest of earth’s materials, so your love is of the richest of human values. As rings are without edge or seam, have no beginning and no end, so they symbolise the perfection of a love which knows no end.”
I don’t know where the quotes comes from but I thought it was a little bit lovely.
