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.

Kiss of Life

Ring 3 - "Kiss of Death", abalone

Admittedly, my original theme for this piece was 'kiss of death', but that's not a great theme for selling a piece of jewellery.  (dammit, now I've given the game away).

So, 'kiss of life' it became.   Jewellery inspired by the sea-anemone still fits with the new theme.  And, after all, life and death are two sides of the same coin.

 The sea anemone might be  deadly to unwelcome visitors. but it has a symbiotic relationship with the clown fish, for example.   The fish gets a meal, and the anemone gets cleaned to keep it healthy.  Life-giving to both.

Given the marine subject, it seemed right that the centre should be shell - abalone, in this case. It's hard to believe, but I think that the colour is natural.

The anemone is formed from an underlying 16 points star-shaped base and 16 more small triangles of silver, each shaped to fit the curve of the stone, soldered on in 2 layers and rolled over to leave an organic look.

The ring size is size M.  The top is 15mm across
