Do you like copper jewellery? Although I work mainly with silver there’s something lovely about working with copper that I just can’t describe. It’s also meant to help aches & pains when worn. What are your thoughts or experiences? #ukgiftam #craftbizparty #smartsocial

A little experiment from the week - I challenged myself to see if I could set a ring with five tube settings. I do like lots of sparkle! What challenges have you set yourselves recently? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

Here’s a sun-catcher I made this week recycling copper electrical wire and broken jewellery ♻️ Sunshine on a rainy day perhaps? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

My latest make. Not perfect as still learning the marquise setting but trying to add 4 tubes for stone setting too was quite a soldering challenge! #handmade with love & hours of effort 🥰 #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

A few flower or butterfly like hair pins I made yesterday by hardwiring and reusing some beads. Would you wear something like this? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS #hairpins

Handmade stacking rings in silver and copper with a variety of textures. The best bit? …These have been commissioned by a customer who I made one set for last year and now wants another 💜🥰 #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

This week I made a hinged locket for the first time ever. I’ll be attempting another one later. What do you think of my first try? #handmadejewelry #handmadehour #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

I sent my first ever pieces of jewellery to the Edinburgh Assay Office for hallmarking. Very exciting to see my own maker’s mark. Something I’d never have imagined would happen when I was younger. #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #shopindie

One of those pieces that took hours to make, with lots of intricate sawing and soldering. The satisfaction of making something from scratch. Handmade not mass-made. #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SundayFringe

Experimenting with filigree. One of the things I love about being a metal smith is that there are so many different techniques to learn. What new skills have you learned recently? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

This week’s experiment was rings within rings. Four rings make up this one! Copper and recycled sterling silver. Should I try to make some more like this? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS #supportsmallbusiness #giftidea

A make from this week. Sterling silver with a moss agate cabochon. Plus I passed my fine jewellery diploma course! #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour

A fine silver commissioned piece I made this week for a brother & sister. I hope it gives them comfort. #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

I really challenged myself to make this 7 stone half eternity ring. What have you achieved this week that you are proud of? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

I do love a bit of turquoise (probably why I love beside the sea). All handmade in sterling silver, or by repurposing broken jewellery What’s your favourite colour for a grey, windy day? #handmadejewelry #madeinscotland

4 bejewelled trees. Repurposed broken costume & vintage jewellery, remodelled into beautiful seasonal centrepieces, reducing waste. Would you add a little sparkle like these to your winter decorations? #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour

It’s that time of year when repurposing jewellery causes a blizzard! Find me at jeweldestinyjewellery.co.uk #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS #sundayfringe

What are you proud of this year? I made this half eternity ring last Sunday, with garnets & white topaz in sterling silver. Probably my most ambitious project yet. #UKGiftAm #UKGiftHour #UKGiftAm #SmartSocial #SundayFringe #CraftHour #ShopIndie #HandmadeHour #CraftBizParty

A new year means making new memories & displaying photos of these in frames is a great way to keep them fresh in our minds. This is one of my handmade jewelled frames using repurposed jewellery ♻️ #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS

I can make sterling silver link bracelets like these to order with a variety of shapes and textures, & can add individually handmade or repurposed ♻️ charms. From £70+ #ukgifthour #ukgiftam #shopindie #craftbizparty #smartsocial #UKCraftersHour #SBS #SundayFringe
