My silver jewellery is either made from scratch, starting with sterling silver sheet or wire, or with bespoke sterling silver castings, which I form into jewellery and hand finish. Nothing is plated, or cast as a complete unit.
Hallmarking is a legal requirement for silver weighing over 7.78g, and I have most of my pendants and other larger pieces hallmarked, even though many of my pieces are below that weight threshold. Read more about hallmarking here – it’s more than just a 925 stamp. Everyone who sells precious metals in the UK must, by law, display a Dealer’s Notice with information about hallmarking.
Commissions are not something I do at present. My available time is quite unpredictable and I like to keep things simple and just make what I make.
