South Dublin Client

Eva Dorney July 22, 2016

Thank you Eva for your high quality of craftsmanship and professionalism that went into creating three new pendants from my late mother's wedding, engagement and eternity rings. I was unsure what I would do with the rings as they were too big for me to wear and not my style; just storing them, waiting to pass them on, seemed such a waste.  I felt they were something given with love by my father to my mother and to have them abandoned in a drawer in the hope of a future use was dreadful.  With the imminent 18th and 21st birthdays of my daughter and godchild I decided to have the rings remodelled.  After a few consultations with other jewellers, I met Eva.  I felt comfortable with her and liked how she interacted and at all times she was pleasant and professional.

I had a basic design in mind, but Eva shared her time and talents to make this a reality for me. She set three of the five diamonds from my mother's engagement ring, interspersed with open settings, within her original wedding band; this pendant now allows me to wear the "rings" at any time.  The last two diamonds were set as solitaires within a circular setting for the two girls.  The finished pieces have exceeded my imaginings; they will be treasured and more importantly, worn and admired.

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!
