These are horribly hard to make! The closed-back setting has to be just the right depth for the stone and it has to be balanced so that the pendant hangs vertically without tipping forwards or back. And then the chain has to slip smoothly through the tiny space between the stone and the back of the setting. But the result is worth all the effort I think!

I'd been searching for a while to find a setting I liked for these small-medium stones, approximately 0.17 carats, and I think this is it. Available with a range of band widths and textures

Delicate, understated drops. 6mm gemstones in a range of colours, tucked into handmade silver settings

The one shown here is a stunning, lab-grown blue spinel

Dainty little irregular oval silver hoops with a 0.17ct moissanite set in 9ct gold

Beautiful keshi pearls mounted on handmade earwires

Keshi pearls are non-nucleated, salt-water pearls which gives them the beauty, lustre and toughness of natural pearls

The simplest possible handmade setting to keep the focus on the stones and pearls. Originally an order from one of my customers who thought I could combine the features of two of my existing earring designs into one bobby-dazzler. And weren't they right!

Faceted or cabochon, natural or synthetic stones, bezel set in sterling silver and mounted in a handmade silver hoop

On an adjustable silver chain

These look great stacked up with my Simple Silver Bands​

The choice of stone is up to you but a high-quality CZ looks amazing and I've recently been buying lab grown Emeralds from Hatton Garden which give a real pop of colour

Or let me quote for a diamond... prices have come down recently and you might be surprised

Teardrop shape sterling silver hoop set with a 4mm diameter gemstone and hung on handmade, Sterling silver wires. The first pair were made as a present for a friend's niece but I've made a few more since then!
