Silver And The Gem - "My latest commission ~ and my camera phone skills really don’t do these gems justice. The most beautiful rainbow moonstone crystals that change colour as they catch the light 🌈✨🌓"

Art Pocket Jewellery - "Necklace with impressive Charoite gemstone. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of it. Most people won’t have. It was only discovered in 1978 and only comes from one place – a small deposit close to the Chara River, near the small town of Aldan, in Siberia, Russia. Due to the extreme cold, they are only able to mine for a few months every summer – a blanket of snow covers the mine for most of the year."

Sea Surf Rocks - "I got asked to create another pair of these Aztec crystal earrings recently and forgot how much I loved them! It definitely got me in the mood for making some geometrics! I’ve just added them to the online shop too. Thanks Kernowcraft for the crystal points they look great!"

Designed By Ire - "Opal triangle ring. It's hard to take a photograph to properly show how pretty the opals are in real life."

Silver Linings Jewellery - "Some beautiful Australian opal earrings I made last summer which are for sale! ✨I haven’t made anything for a while as I’ve lost my mojo a bit over winter but as the sun comes back I’m sure I’ll get hammering again 🌞🌈"

Midnight Alchemy Designs - "I’ve been busy working on some new pieces that are coming along nicely but are definitely at the polishing stage now so here’s one from earlier this year inspired by Art Deco designs. This piece (and some matching earrings) is available in the store now." Featuring black tourmalinated quartz cabochons.

Dragonflies and amethyst 💜 by Saffron Anaphoenix

North To South Jewellery - "I mentioned I was going to do something a bit wilder with the sea glass I've been setting... here is the first 'Underwater Forest' ring. Textured seaweed, bottle green bezel set sea glass, and two little 'barnacles' clinging to the side."

Stunning black diamond ring made by the talented Milly Maunder Designs

Sadie Jewellery - "The minute my eyes laid upon this rose cut silver diamond from Kernowcraft everything fell into place... Together the client and I chose the sea glass that would suit accordingly and then I shaped and cut them into little cabochons ready to be set alongside the sparkling diamond. The reason why I choose Kernowcraft for my diamonds is because they are ethically mined and cruelty-free. Something that I strongly believe in!"

Trzpiotkajewellery - "A little vintage must-have with a freshwater pearl sapphire and aquamarine served with love."
