ACJ Pop-up Precious

The past wee while I've been working hard, getting new jewellery together and co-organising the Association of Contemporary Jewellery Edinburgh's first exhibition, with my fellow members.

The opening night was Friday (thanks to all who came and got drunk with us!) The show is on until the 2nd of December, so get yourselves down to Framed gallery Gayfield square, to have a look.

In the meantime here're some photies for you.

Ding dong! The bells are gonna CHIME!!

Many Congratulations to Jeff and Maria who are set to be wed next year. Here's a pic of their wedding rings we designed together, made by yours truly.

Made in palladium with inlaid 18ct gold detail.

Many thanks to Christopher Ness for the use of his Dundas street workshop.

RESIDENTS!

New exhibition at Such and Such on now. The private view was on Friday and was lovely as always. Here some photos of the new show. Please note our bespoke plinths, made with love and tears in more than one late night!

Leith Late

Just want to say a big Thank you and a big well done to Morvern Cunningham for putting together Leith Late. I think you'll all agree it was a major success.

Checkout the Leith Late facebook page for official photos. Do it now.

Commission

Just to pimp myself out a little....

As well as making my own jewellery and working freelance for Christopher Ness of Edinburgh, I've also been doing some commissions lately. (I need a nap)

This was for a 21st birthday, the client wanted something featuring the caduceus. (Here is the image she supplied)

She also wanted a purple or dark green stone to be featured. Luckily for me, my new favorite stone dealer, Maira of Gemstones Brazil was able to supply me with the perfect Amethyst.

Here is what we came up with, the photo doesn't really do Maira's amethyst justice but there are some more here.

Client and birthday girl are both pretty chuffed.

Walls and Such

My wee studio space has been in a bit of a mess of late (I usually keep such a tight ship!) But It'll all be worth while when we get our new walls.

My studio pal Dave Lemm, and his Dad have been hard at work...

Looks pretty wall-like yeah? Check how rank my desk is...

Nice!

Here's a photo of some earrings to make me feel better.

Hello!

A very lovely pair of sisters, (does that sound rude? I was hoping that would sound a bit rude) who call themselves Sundries and plunder, have featured one of my necklaces on their treasury list.

This is the Necklace...

Here's the link to the treasury.

I think it's a sweet wee treasury. Good colours.

First ever post. (Sorry it's a bit disappointing)

Hello. My name's Caroline and I make Jewellery, sometimes under the pseudonym Only the Gallus.

This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be pure gallus to wear my jewellery, you could be rather lovely and mild mannered and not like to cause to much of a fuss, that's ok too.

Moving on...Much of my work has been based around my blood chilling fear of butterflies. Here are some images to get us started.
