Bezel settings - mastered!

Cornish Aqua sea glass cufflinks

I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but having kind of taught myself how to do this, I'm pleased - these sea glass cufflinks really catch the light. They are a special commission for a wedding at the end of this month.

These cufflinks have lovely flexible backs, with a really substantial and well made design - I had to be extra careful not to overheat these as they can become immobile if you do.

I'm going to make some rounder sea glass ones next, and I have had a commission for a clip-on charm for a bracelet, which will be a bezel setting with stamping in Cornish on the back, which I'm keen to see finished.

Glasswing - "Negys a'n Mis" the MAGA business of the month!

I'm really pleased that Glasswing Jewellery has been chosen as "Business of the Month" for July, by MAGA the Cornish Language Partnership, which was set up in 2005 to oversee the implementation of the Cornish Language Development Strategy. This is in recognition for my use and promotion of the Cornish language in my work.

"Kowethes Kerra - Best Friend"

I've been using the MAGA partnership for translations for stampings on my jewellery now for some time, - it's a free service, and the translations are checked and double checked by the lovely Cornish Language experts in the partnership. It's great because I know I have the best translation possible for my work - and for my customers the assurance that their jewellery has just the right words, in terms of gender and tense, for their heartfelt messages to loved ones.
