What did we do last week you ask? Making wedding rings!
Could it be that all of a sudden lots of people get married at the same time, or is it just a coincidence that we have so many orders for custom made wedding rings?
In any case we are quit busy making them …
Just finished … these robust silver wedding rings. A “river” the symbol for infinity, or in other words the continuous circle of life.
One day Jan saw a painting of a newly married couple by Rembrandt. If you looked at the painting up close you could see the rings of the couple were pictured by two thin stripes of gold paint. Actualy no more than two vague sweeps.
This painting was the inspiration for these wedding rings, which we therefore named Rembrandt.
14 karate gold Rembrandt with a diamond
We also have been searching for new shapes and forms this past week, a sterling silver pendant in the shape of a vase is coming along nicely …
Another wonderful thing what happened this week is the sale of this beautiful necklace of lapis lazuli …
And to top it all off, after 3 years of searching we finally found a modern couch that we really liked and that is comfortable to sit on as well.
Here I am meditating what fabric I will choose for the upholstery. In the end we choose ocher yellow combined with a beautiful melange light gray Tweed fabric! Oh and we ordered the legs of the couch in a mat black.
All in all a great week, wouldn’t you say?

Marion–that lapis necklace is stunning. I don’t know why people are tying the knot–but it’s nice, isn’t it? I enjoy the stories, the associations behind your design.
And your couch–you must show us when it is delivered and placed in your home. The color combination sounds wonderful!

That was a long search for a couch. Hopefully your ocher couch will be ready very soon! Have a nice (white) weekend!

I think it took us even longer as 3 years Erica! Too big, too expensive, too bulky, not comfortable to sit on, etc. etc. The company shipped me samples of the fabric this morning, really beautiful … I am happy with the colors we picked!

It was a good week Marion! I like your jewels and specially the clasp of the necklace. The couch looks confortable and the pic is nice!

Yes Lois finally a new couch … how about that one!Nice fabric too. Shoes are very old and too small … only wearable while sitting on couches.
