Last week I was into making bezels, I had some gemstones cabochons in my stash that I hadn’t use.

First a yellow quartz cab made into a ring

This lovely pink amethyst round cabochon, also used for making a ring.

Ring again, different stone – Moonstone round cabochon. Wear it by itself or with an extra silver band

Turquoise cab adorns a silver bezel, made into a pendant.

A few weeks now a best friend has asked me to make her a brooch to wear with a  specific sweater she has. Its been a long time since I practiced metal-smithing so I was feeling a bit hesitant…I was thinking hard about the design of the brooch.

She had to remind me a couple of times, asking me when is my brooch going to be ready, have you started working on it yet? Thankfully she let me do whatever I wanted, and I came up with this.

The A is for her 9 month old baby, soon to be called Achilles.

Update: After the photo was taken I textured the whole surface of the letter.

Presenting   a contemporary group of 3 talented women, offering an alternative to conventional thinking on jewellery design. As they say “Our pieces pass through manual sensitivity and are innovative in technique, based on our long experience with ceramics and jewellery.“

Roberta Ferreira, Laura Jener & Bárbara Sendino are the body and soul of ‘dterra‘. In 2001 Roberta and Laura founded ‘Three Workshop’, a space where they develop their respective crafts, ceramics and jewellery. Over time they decide to merge the two disciplines and start experimenting in the field of jewellery, precious metals combined with ceramics. In 2007  they  took advantage of the incorporation of Bárbara Sendino also a  jewellery artist, to renew their  image and make themselves known outside the local area.

I love their organic shapes and truly amazing colours and textures, I feel inspired just looking at photos of their work.
