Lead times

One-off items are usually posted within 1-2 days of order.  Ie, I have them ready to go, barring a final re-polish, so would expect to despatch the day after I have received payment, or the following day at the latest.

Made-to-order items will generally be ready for posting within 7 days.  There will be prominent announcements if I'm away or backlogged.

Made-to-order items that have to be hallmarked (this will be indicated on the item's page) can take significantly longer.  Please allow 4 weeks for these. 

Whatever, I will always try to keep you updated.

Dolphin Stone Brooch

Brooch 001 - Dolphin Stones

This silver brooch was made to commission using the lady's own stones.  They are Larimar - found only in the  Dominican Republic.  They immediately made me think of the sea, and I soon started to suggest designs with a  clam-shell look. 

My intuitions could not have worked out better, because the lady the brooch was for is also a potter and she soon showed me several bowls with a similarly sculpted edge.

My intuitions were re-confirmed as I researched more about Larimar and discovered that it is also known as Dolphin or Atlantis stone.  With that in mind, the back of the brooch will now make sense.
