Steve Smith's Jewellery

Personalised dichroic glass jewellery.

OMG It's been a while since I last blogged. Well with the current situation with lockdown and furloughing, I thought I should.

About a year ago someone asked if I could design and make a personalised pendant. This was for his love of his life. Well, I had a think about it and came up with how I could achieve this.

The end result was stunning, if I say so myself.

See what you think!

If you have a loved one that would like it! Just contact me on stevesmithjewellery@yahoo.co.uk

This style is about 2.5 cm across and colours can be changed for the glass but not the personification. The design comes with a free 45 cm stainless steel chain aswell. All packaged in a nice presentation box and are £35 plus p&p.

So like I say. Drop me an email for a digital distance chat and I am sure we can come up with something.

Stay safe.

Steve

925 silver surround tactile dichroic glass pendant.

Hi.

I am always trying to come up with new designs and styles. Some days it's a bit of a challenge but mostly new ideas are always there in the back of my head.

I just have to find them LOL.

With most of my pieces, they are kiln fired, sometimes 2 to 3 times and even fired polished at the end.

With this design, I wanted to keep the tactile surface and still set it in silver.

The process is quite simple if you have to right tools. The first thing I did was make the silver surround to the shape I wanted. This can be a bit fiddly but not too bad. Then having chosen the relevant dichroic glass. It was cut to the approximate size and the cold worked (ground) to fit the silver surround.

Here's a few things that I used:

Ripple glass.

Kristall grinder:

My trusty Dremel:

Then silver, solder, gas torch, various hammers mallets, shapers and former's and lots of different grades of emery. Plus polish for finishing.

And here is my design, all finished and sparkling. Just click on the following link.

The emergence of Dragonflies.

Well, spring has just about broken out in the UK.

With the temperature reaching double figures in some area.

Beautiful Dragonflies will be emerging from their winter slumber.

Bouncing through the skies and darting through the reeds.

Beautiful colours floating over the pools of blue water

and

occasionally landing right next to you.

Giving you a glimpse of their beautiful true colours.

Well that's my attempt at describing these amazing creatures.

Here are a few of my designs. I have tried to catch the colours in the dichroic glass with a simple Dragonfly enamel image

But I prefer Alfred, Lord Tennyson words which I have included further on.

The Dragonfly

Today I saw the dragonfly

Come from the wells where he did lie.

An inner impulse rent the veil

Of his old husk: from head to tail

Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.

He dried his wings: like gauze they grew;

Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew

A living flash of light he flew.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
