Hello and welcome to my jewellery and goldsmithing blog

I've always been curious about how things are made, whether that's currachs and candles or how they get the fig in the fig roll.

I may not be much the wiser as to that last one, but I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you how I make and remodel jewellery via a collection of photographs of works in progress and of finished pieces.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions if you're feeling curious and to pin to your heart's content.

Hope you enjoy!

Something about this picture puts me in mind of ‘the girl with the pearl earring’. No idea what though!
It’s part of my new season of #interchangeablenecklaces and #gemstoneclasps which I’ve been handmaking over the last number of months. The range is significantly expanded and available at clasped.ie

Stunning day here in the Arbour and the studio is flooded with light. Here’s a quick snap of the new garnet multistrand, with a yellow beryl clasp this time.
