What do you call them? ...

Ring Keeper? Ring Holder? Ring Saver? Something Else? Let me know in the comments 👇

Whatever you call them, I think its safe to say they make the perfect solution to safely store your rings when you cant otherwise wear them. So whether you're doing DIY, being creative, washing dishes, working, or even for medical reasons...you can keep your rings safe and sound and still technically wear them!

Available in my shop now - link in stories 👆

Ok, who remembers longwave radio atlantic 252?! I may be showing my age here, but I used to listen to that station every morning before school, and once i even called in and won 20 cds!! This song by James was on one of them and always reminds me of that time!

These simple little star earrings make the perfect gift for mothers day, because 'Shes a star!' 🌟

I know you don't see enough of my face on my grid - so here you go! It's a strong look, I know! But safety first! 😷

I've been busy behind the scenes the past few weeks, working away on some new ideas and making all your wonderful commissions, Valentines and Mother's day orders - and of course half-term last week just threw me right off track, I blinked and lost a whole week!! 😆

If you are planning on ordering for Mother's Day, please get your orders in ASAP. And if you're looking for something a bit different, don't forget I'm teaching a make your own earrings workshop in Hay-On-Wye on 24th March. It would make a wonderful day out for the two of you to enjoy together! Tickets are limited, so book soon. Link in stories. 😊

Can you tell if this is one ring or two?...

This little faux stacker heart ring is actually 1 ring! It is so dainty and simple and has a lovely satin finish. I just loved how the hearts sat together and reminded me of this emoji > 💕 !

Also, it looks like this little scamp slipped through the net during the shop update yesterday as I just spotted the pic on my phone! I'll add this to the shop when I'm back in the office on Monday!

Time for some tea, cake and forest wandering! How are you spending your weekend?

🥰💘 Dydd Santes Dwynwen hapus a llawer iawn o gariad i ti! 💘🥰

Today is St Dwynwen's Day here in Wales, which many people celebrate like Valentines Day!

St Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers & I thought I'd share the story of. St Dwynwen for anyone who doesn't know.

Dwynwen was a 5th century princess, daughter of King Brychan Brycheiniog. Dwynwen fell in love with a prince called Maelon Dafodrill, but unfortunately, her father had already arranged for her to marry someone else. Dwynwen was so upset that she begged God to make her forget Maelon. After falling asleep, Dwynwen was visited by an angel, who appeared carrying a sweet potion designed to erase all memory of Maelon and turn him into a block of ice. God then gave three wishes to Dwynwen. Her first wish was that Maelon be thawed; her second that God meet the hopes and dreams of true lovers; and third, that she should never marry. All three were fulfilled, and as a mark of her thanks, Dwynwen devoted herself to God’s service. She founded a convent on Anglesey, the remains of which can still be seen today.

I hope you have a happy St Dwynwen's Day, let me know what you are up to if you're celebrating today.

Here's a look at one of my favourite custom xmas orders!

I was asked to make a ring keeper necklace for holding wedding rings safely while at the gym. If you're not familiar with them, they're MAGIC! You can pop a ring onto the necklace and keep it securely, without taking off the the necklace. They're perfect for anyone who regularly needs to remove jewellery for work, sport or hobbies.

I'd seen them done before, but this is the first one I'd made. This was made from recycled sterling silver, hand forged wire - completely from scratch!

I melted the silver and rolled it to a square wire. I then twisted the wire, before putting it back through the roller to get a flat edge (you can see it better in the 4th pic!).

Would you find a ring keeper useful? I've just made myself one but not worn it yet. Once I'm back in the workshop tomorrow, I'm sure it will be handy!

Looking for something a little different? What about a personalised tree decoration? Perfect to commemorate baby's 1st Christmas, your first Christmas as a married couple or even your fur baby's first Christmas - I can even stamp a little paw print!

There's a link to buy these hand stamped antique copper decorations in my stories.

Please order by 8th December for delivery in time for Xmas.

🎄❤️🎅

Thinking about ordering g but not sure when you need to do it by? Here's a reminder of my deadlines to order in time for Christmas delivery.

For any made to order items - personalised pieces, custom sizes including rings made to size, I need your order by 8th December in order to get it made and posted in time for Christmas.

For in-stock items, please order by 14th December.

I will be closing shop on 14th December and re-opening on 8th January 2024. I'll still be around, but it's been a wild few months so time for a break!

Don't forget, orders over £40 placed by midnight on 4th December will all receive a FREE pair of sterling silver star stud earrings. 🌟

Avoiding paperwork like a pro and look what happened...

I definitely need a good day or two to catch up on admin, but while waiting for some pieces to finish in the tumbler, I noticed some silver scraps calling my name and before I knew it, I was on a full side-quest 🤣🙈

But it's all good, I ended up making these sweet little pebble pendants with silver, copper, or gold hearts 💛 ✨️

Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and let the admin wait a day - especially when your brain is elsewhere!

If you'd like one of these cuties, drop me a message. They're £38 for the silver and copper ones and come on an 18" chain. The gold has been snapped up already 💕 They'll be up on the website next week (assuming no further side quests need my urgent attention! 🤣)

Love them or hate them, Christmas parties are on the horizon!

A friend and I got chatting about our past parties and what the best and worst were...my favourite was a board games night in the pub, and worst was karaoke! What are yours? Let me know in the comments.

I know some work places go all out for their annual party, but I've always preferred things a bit more low-key! So party for 1 in the workshop with a mince pie suits me! 😆

📷 Pictured: Sterling Silver Christmas Tree Pendants - Perfect for party season! 🥳

You can thank me for this later! But here's an ideal gift for the book-lover in your life. These hand-stamped copper bookmarks can be personalised with a message of your choice, or you can choose from one of the ready made bookmarks. I also have a bookmark featuring a poem by local poet . You can also choose the tassel colour (subject to availability!)

I've stamped some really lovely personal messages on bookmarks over the last few months and I always love the stories behind them. You guys are lovely 🥰

I think my favourite is probably 'I like big books'...but to be honest, 'fell asleep here' is more realistic!

Which message would you choose? Or would you personalise it with one of your own? Let me know in the comments. 💕📚

Are you ready?! Tomorrow is Just A Card INDIE WEEK!

I'm taking part in the online CHRISTMAS FAIR from 20th November to 4th December. It's run by Just A Card and HandmadeHour. There's hundreds of incredible artists, makers, indie shops and small businesses taking part. So if you've not started your festive shopping yet, now's the time to find the perfect unique gift AND support small businesses too.

If you missed my post on Friday, you can check out my new Christmas range which is now available just in time for the fair! I'll also be popping some offers in my stories, so don't forget to give me a follow and keep an eye on them during the fair!

If you're a fellow small biz and you're taking part too, say Hi & tag your page in the comments :D

I don't know who needs to hear this, but its OK to not like gemstones and sparkly jewellery... And I have to be honest, It's not really for me!

I often get asked why I don't set stones, or use more semi-precious stones in my jewellery - truth be told, I don't want to!

I took all the classes, I spent ages learning different settings and I do quite enjoy the setting process too, but I just don't ever find myself drawn to sparkly gemstones!
I also find myself totally overwhelmed with the varieties and styles, not to mention the ethics of sourcing stones - so I keep it simple!

There's plenty of talented jewellers who do wonderful jewellery with stone setting and spend huge amounts of time and energy sourcing ethical stones, but I enjoy the simplicity of sticking to just metal (& the occasional pebble or piece of sea glass if I find some on one of my walks!)

This ring is one of my favourites - a simple D band with a tiny stamped heart.
I wear mine every day!

Do you prefer simple jewellery without stones? Are you all about the bling? Or somewhere in between? Let me know in the comments, I'm curious :D

I hope you've had a wonderful week...mines been hectic to say the least! But good news, its Friday!

I've spent today re-stocking the Stargazer pieces that had sold out and getting my xmas delivery ready for .and.oak (exciting!).

I'm playing catch-up this weekend and spending most of it in the workshop. What are your plans?

✨🌟🌠Stargazer chunky hoops 🌠🌟✨

This is my latest range and I've changed things up a bit - It is all oxidised and finished in a matt polish instead of my usual super shiny polished finish! I love the softer look it creates and think its perfect for this time of year as we all start getting cosy!

I love stargazing, especially in late Autumn. A flask of hot chocolate and a blanket and the top of a hill 👌 We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights when we were in Scotland last year (see the last pic) & I'll definitely be looking out for them again this year, although it's a bit rarer down here in South Wales!

These chunky hoops are available to buy now on my website, along with the rest of the new range. Visit my shop to take a look ⬇🌟

I don't know about you, but I definitely prefer Halloween to Christmas! And with spooky season just around the corner, it seems time to share these terrifyingly cute Skulls & Ghosts! Necklaces or dangly earrings are available in both styles. 💀👻

These are all finished in a high shine but i'm thinking they'd look great with an oxidised matt finish too - so i'm off to experiment, and maybe have my first 🎃☕ of the season, since the heatwave seems to be over!
