Discover Some Of Our Favourite 2021 Jewellery Designs...

Jewellery By Eilatan: "Some up close details of my latest custom. 9K Gold ring with a beautiful Sea Green Quartz. To say this was a challenging piece for me would be a huge understatement. Literal blood, sweat and tears went into this. It was my first time doing a prong setting, first time working with a faceted stone and first time working in gold. Perseverance is key. And I’m hella in love with this piece."

Prosecco and Rubies: "Opal and 18ct gold. These beautiful earrings were created to match an existing set. In my latest blog post, I show the process of bringing these beauties to life."

Buttercup Jewellery: "Stone setting is not my favourite past time (I find it rather stressful!) but bezel setting is relatively straight forward so that is my 'go to' technique. What better excuse to share the bespoke labradorite wave ring I made recently..."

Evren Blue: "For me, there's something about these beautiful gold and lemon quartz teardrop earrings which fit this prompt so beautifully...maybe it's the natural teardrop shape and the way the lemon quartz hangs like a rain drop on a leaf. They certainly feel very spring like and fresh to me, what do you think?"

Ceomara Jewellery: "A little experimenting in the studio today. I saw this on the Kernowcraft's 12 Months of Metal tutorials by Kim Thomson and had to give it a go. This is a sapphire coloured cubic zirconia stone set into a silver pebble. Some of the stones I was using today seemed to lose their colour but I am so glad these beautiful blues didn’t."

Beside The Seaside Creations: "These unique and unusual stones have a very ocean-like quality to them.

Chrysocolla was also used to create colour pigment for renaissance paintings."
