Made this little ring in metal/jewelry class last week.

After making the trinity ring, I thought it would be nice to make my own seal ring. I couldn’t decide on an image or icon so I settled for my name.

I tried it with candle wax and realised that the writing should have been mirrored – but it’s going to function as a ring more than a seal anyway, so might as well have the wring be legible on the ring. The image of the wax result has been mirrored in Photoshop.

Silver Stag

I designed the following piece in 2014, but I knew I had to put in a couple more hours in the studio before I would be able to make it. In the meantime, I made a little card mock-up to see if it would work and to wrap my head around how exactly to make it. (The model also helped to show the instructor exactly what I wanted to make, seeing as I don’t speak any Korean.)

Making the actual thing took longer than I expected (about 5 hours), and at times the process of making it really tested my patience. I’m pretty proud of myself for actually making it – and not giving up on the idea. This is the final piece:

Stag. (Yellow Jade and Silver.)

From a different angle.

Trinity

Posted on 06/05/201518/07/2016 by Suné Horn in Jewelry

I’ve been wanting to make a piece with brass-and-silver inlay work for a while now. Triangles have also become quite appealing to me lately – like in the past couple of years…

Side note: My 2nd cousin is studying BA Visual Arts at Stellenbosch University. I really love his work. Recently he made this self-portrait – note the triangle. It’s titled : “I am by no means a visionary, but I can see“. I asked to buy it.

I previously bought this “panollama‬” drawing from him. I’m still very much in love with it. It was bigger than I anticipated – probably close to A0 in size. It’s framed and waiting for me in South Africa.

Love

I didn’t finish as much as I wanted to in last weeks metal/jewelry class. I find I need to methodically plan everything before class in order to be 100% productive. Last week I basically made a pendent and two small rings.

The first of which was a cutesy heart-shaped ring I made from the silver cut-offs of previous projects.

The second was my attempt at resetting a cubic zirconia. It ended up being less “setting” and more “glueing”. I need to finish it off some more.

Blood Moon

This is what I made in last week’s metal/jewelry class. The stone appears to be a sort of flaming red plume agate.

Shard

A ring made of some left-over amethyst shards and silver.

Twig

This week in jewelry class I tried to do something a little more feminine and dainty. I did want the pearls to be the same colour, but the instructor insisted I use two colours. She also indicated that I should make the flowers differ in size next time – I agree with that.

Edit:

The two colours bugged me too much, so I changed the pink pearl. It is lacking in contrast, but I like the overall blue-ish tone of it better now.

My Cryptonite

Jewelry classes started again this week. I’m looking forward to fifteen weeks of learning and creating. This is the ring I made with the agate I bought on my trip to South Africa.

Cryptonite, Agate and Silver, 2015

*Crypto because agate is a cryptocrystalline, and -nite because wordplay.
