All My Babies crucifix in oxidised Sterling silver with inset white diamonds and five 14ct-gold studs. A deeply personal commission for Mrs L, who has three beautiful daughters, but for whom five of her babies died unborn.
Chunky Mim pendant, sandcast in Sterling silver from hand-carved wax model, with 24ct gold leaf on rear inner surfaces. Cut-out shape is the Persian-alphabet character mim. A commission for Mr A, in memory of his mother, whose name began with mim. "Mim" is also the Persian short-form for "mother" (like "mum"/"mom"). Hallmarked on rear. Mr A's memory of his mim is clearly golden to him, so I added
Elong'o Maasai Shield paired rings in etched and part-oxidised Sterling silver. A commission from Mr C, whose wife is Maasai, to mark the graduation of their daughter. Shaped and patterned like elong'o, the traditional cowhide shields carried by Maasai warriors. Both mum and daughter are warriors in their own ways. I was honoured to be commissioned to make these and delighted that they liked them.
