Just in time for Pride on Saturday! I've finished off these cute wee pride rings featuring the Trans flag and the Q***r flag. Pave setting on one and Scallop setting on the other.
We are an entirely q***r owned buisness and we love celebrating people for who they are.
Happy Pride everyone, however you celebrate.
Image Description:
Two silver rings sitting on a water-worn rock. The left ring has three pink stones, three white stones, and three blue stones. The ring on the right has a black, light blue, medium blue, green, white, yellow, peach, light pink, and black stone in order.

This twoâmonth online course is designed for anyone who wants to build confidence in drawing, even if you feel you âcanât drawâ or have no artistic background. Every two weeks, weâll meet on Zoom for a focused twoâhour session exploring specific aspects of countersketching and rendering. Each class breaks the process down into simple, achievable steps so you can develop practical skills that support your design work.
All sessions will be recorded, so you can revisit the material at your own pace or catch up easily if you miss a class.
Across the twoâmonth block, weâll cover essential techniques for visualising form, understanding proportion, creating depth, and communicating ideas clearly on paper. The goal is to help you build a reliable drawing toolkit that enhances your creative practice, whether youâre designing jewellery, objects, or simply wanting to improve your visual thinking.
No special equipment is required. You only need a pencil, paper, a rubber eraser, and a ruler.
This course is supportive, accessible, and structured to help absolute beginners succeed. If youâve ever felt intimidated by drawing, this is a welcoming place to start building skills that will serve you long after the course ends.

Join me for an online, video callâbased workshop where weâll explore the foundational techniques of counterâsketching and rendering for jewellery design. Counterâsketching is the skill of drawing quick, accurate concepts in real time with a client. An invaluable tool for communicating ideas and refining designs on the spot. Rendering takes those sketches further, transforming them into illustrations that feel dimensional, polished, and alive.
In this session, weâll bring a ring design to life step by step, then move on to rendering a blackâandâwhite diamond with depth and sparkle. This class is designed to be approachable, practical, and handsâon.
All you need is an internet connection, a sharp pencil, and a few sheets of copy paper.

Took some time this morning to get proper photos of this ring. Not bad, considering I havenât touched a camera in a few years and donât have a photo box.
I used cabochon sapphires and rose cuts because I wanted this to be a bit of a fidget ring. The smooth stones create a subtle texture and lend a touch of vintage charm.
The running thistle engraving honors a kilt pin I was given many years ago, adding that little bit of something special for me.
