They are all lovely pieces your friend has made Tim and I love the your braided wrist band especially. The wedding rings in a pendant is a clever idea and it suggests that the design could also be developed into a ying-yang style as well.

When I first took up jewellery making evening classes, it was my intention to melt down our matching wedding rings from my ended marriage but never got around to it. In fact I gave my daughter mine and she lost it pretty quick. I still have my ex s band so will make something of it one day, but maybe into something for my children.

A ring from a broken up relationship is a loaded weighty article. It carries the weight of the past with it. I would never make it into something else. As a matter of fact I wouldn' t even keep it.
Tim, I like your friend's jewellery very much

I do cross stitch.

Hi Amoangelus, how funny I was just sat here thinking its time I got my cross-stitch stuff out again, after a break of.....oooohhhh....too many years! It's an omen, I must do it!!

And dont forget to take some pics of your work and post them here!
