I don’t wear jewellery because I’m very pernickety and also I just don’t know where to look in the first place. Can I see what you’re wearing? Necklaces, brooches, rings, earrings, watches too… I want to see them all!
I would really like a nice necklace, preferably a long one that I could wear with high necked dresses… any recommendations would be amazing! No particular price range, I’d pay a little bit more but if it’s cheapsies then… good, very good.
Used to love wearing jewellery, but stopped after having my daughter, for fear of having an earring ripped out. She has inherited her mother’s magpie tendencies though…
I really really really really want to join in in this thread, but I’m at a disadvantage.
The reason is that Mrs F has been doing silversmithing at a jewellers’ near here for years. She really loves it and she’s made tonnes of things. I’ve considered buying her the equipment to set up a workshop in our loft, but have resisted up to now.
I commissioned her engagement ring from her teacher. This is it:
Then my lovely wife made our wedding rings. Although I didn’t find this out until after the wedding, my ring has an etching of her thumbprint on the inside. So I am under her thumb for the rest of my life.
Like I said I really want to contribute to this thread, but the fact is: I know nothing about jewellery and I can’t really post up pics of the things my wife has made without her permission (which I’m not going to ask for).
Maybe I’ll just describe things she’s made. She’s got a bracelet she made with the image of the Thames cut through it, and she’s just made a brooch, that looks like a rather gormless chameleon, for her best friend, that she had to solder the tail back onto after she snapped it whilst polishing.
