F U L L - M O O N

This is my first moonstone engagement ring design and I just love the way it catches the light...

One minute it’s clear like a diamond and the next it’s an iridescent electric pink and blue!

It seems somewhat fitting that the lucky owner said yes, in the moonlit sky last Friday at the top of the Shard.

Made from 18ct rose gold and set with a faceted pear shaped moonstone with diamonds around the halo and along its shoulders I’m really happy with how this bespoke piece has turned out.

L A S T - C H A N C E

Today is the last day of Goldsmiths Fair digital!

The show will be closing its doors at 6 pm this evening, so do make sure you have a look if you haven’t done already, by visiting...

https://www.goldsmithsfair.co.uk/maker/benjamin-james-ryan/

It has been a real shame that I haven’t been able to see all my fellow makers, or meet any clients old and new, but the efforts to bring the Fair to life this year haven’t gone unnoticed.

Well done to all of the @goldsmithsfair Team and I hope everyone had a good show. Here’s to next year!

G I N - A N Y O N E ?

With the days drawing in and the nights getting longer why not treat yourself to your own special drinking vessel to have your favourite tipple in?

I designed this silver and diamond set Gin Beaker to celebrate the origins of gin!

Incorporating subtle hidden narratives in my work is something I really enjoy doing.

Being careful with how I represent these ideas, enables me to not make the piece too literal, still keeping its aesthetic contemporary integrity.

Whilst being functional and enjoyable to use, it’s hidden narrative is often a topic for discussion...

It is widely accepted that gin was first recorded in mass use in the Dutch war of independence which lasted 80 years. Soldiers would drink it for its calming effects before battle, from which the term Dutch courage originated.

In homage to this the engraved bar code reads Dutch courage, and the arrayed silver arms represent each decade of the war. The arms are ruthenium plated and each set with a black diamond to reference the deep colours of the juniper berry.

The decorative elements also provide a functional capacity, acting as measuring levels. The top of the bar is a double shot on gin and the top of the 8 arms is a generous serving of tonic.

B E S P O K E - J E W E L L E R Y Here is bespoke

B E S P O K E - J E W E L L E R Y

Here is bespoke CAD wax print for a soon to be engagement ring!

The client couldn’t quite find what they wanted at the right size and quality on the many jewellery websites that are out there... So they came to me to help source a stone, and come up with a design that combined the styles that they liked.

This piece will soon be cast in #18ct #rosegold and will feature diamonds around the halo and all the way down the shoulders the ring. The main setting will hold a beautiful iridescent moon stone at its centre. #swipeleft

W O R K I N G - W A Y S

One of the ways I like to work is to combine traditional making skills with new technologies.

By utilising my skills in 3-D CAD combined with traditional bench skills, I’m able to make unique and interesting items that bridge the styles of old and new.

Working with precious metals is something I really enjoy. Often the pieces I make already have a sense of preciousness, because of the materials they are made from... but adding value through my craftsmanship and carefully considered design is what excites me the most!
