Silver in Black and White

Today I spent an hour and a half photographing my latest creations. It then took approximately 30 seconds for me to realise that they were almost all rubbish. Photographing silver is such a challenge. I’ve tried indoors and outdoors. Bright light and shade. Light tent and open air. And none seem to be working so well just now. I have read lots of advice and tutorials, I have asked a photographer friend, and now I shall be harassing my poor husband because I know that he’ll be able to figure it out. In the end. In the meantime, I decided to try converting a couple of today’s attempts into black and white so that I can give you a sneaky peak before they make it into my shops (with decent photos!)

What do you think?

This Week’s Endeavours

It’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front this week as there has been much making to get to grips with: a beautiful commission (which I can’t share I’m afraid) and a lovely selection of goodies for my local stockist.

So, whilst there’s little to see that you may not have seen before, as I was trying out my photography yesterday – just *how* hard is it to take a decent picture of silver jewellery? – I thought I’d share a little prettiness with you today. I hope you like what you see.

Christmas Delights

Now that Christmas has passed, and there’s no danger of my photographs spoiling any surprises, I thought I’d share some of the items I was asked to make in December. I hope you like them!

Heart bangle


Double bangle with citrine chips

(Unfortunately the bottom two photos had to be taken indoors, so the colour is a little strange – but it doesn’t stop the jewellery being beautiful!)

Cross-My-Heart Ring

Cross-My-Heart RingA lovely little ring, made from a crossed double band of sterling silver wire, with a tiny silver heart soldered on slightly off-centre. The ring and heart are both textured, but can be made with a smooth finish if desired.
