Hi, to all,

What a great week. I have just been to the A & E Metals "Explorations 09" exhibit at Guildford Gallery Melbourne, Wow - I feel very honoured to have one of my pieces within the exhibit.

The wheel spins giving you the opportunity to dial up your favourite colour or a colour to suit your mood.

Gems: 3 mm Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple and Clear.

All set in Sterling Silver 925 High polish finish.

this is an exploration of the Celtic symbol - 4 Seasons

The Story is a one off creation and will retail for $1,600.

Ring size is "O".

A Garden Walk

I enjoyed creating this piece, and was the result of all I had learned in my first term at Box Hill. The piece transforms from a pendant to a bracelet.
