F R I D A Y - F E E L I N G

With the new lockdown rules stowed upon us all... it’s time to sit down and have a glass or two of Vino.

Why not have one in a 18ct gold diamond set @riedel_official wine glass, with a stone set to the perfect measure of wine.

If you’re having a bad day, week, month or year though, it could be the mark to not let the wine go below... the choice is yours!

Happy Friday Everyone!

O F F - T O - M O N A C O

It’s been a busy week in the workshop getting this bespoke letter opener finished... ready for its journey to Monaco today.

The custom piece is made from solid silver and has a 3D modelled crest of the clients family coat of arms.

We’re really pleased with how this one turned out and hope the lucky recipient of this piece likes it too. #fingerscrossed

I N - T H E - M A K I N G

So far November has been a busy time in the workshop finishing off some ongoing commissions.

This bespoke letter opener is coming along nicely, and will hopefully be finished next week. We’re really happy with how the 3D crest has turned out as well as the precision soldered fit of the blade to handle.

A U T U M N - V I B E S

There is something about this design, that we made a couple of years ago for the Acorn Nursery in Notting Hill, that always reminds me of autumn…

The swinging sign has an element of charm, and the hanging bronze cast acorns and warm straw coloured autumnal hues throughout the piece, give the entrance way an inviting a cosy feel!

2020 has understandably been quiet for large scale work and public art, but there are some exciting projects in the pipeline which will hopefully come to fruition over the course of next year... #watchthisspace

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 Go

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!
