Gotta love that 'click'! I've had a couple of sleepless nights over this box clasp but it's very nearly finished, ready for stringing up. Can't wait for you to see the full necklace and for you try it on at at @goldsmithsfair Stand 39

My words are in a book! Amazing to be asked to contribute to Museum Sheffield's 'Everyday Wonders' book sharing perspectives on objects in their Weston Park Museum. #book #everydaywonders #failedenglish #sheffield #cityofmakers #yorkshire #brooch (at Weston Park Museum)

Awww, the one that got away... one of the larger amethysts available yesterday! Cooler heads prevailed but it's available if anyone would like to commission a 4 finger ring! #monster #amethyst #noteventhebiggest
