New Diamond Rings!

2011 is turning out to be a busy year (thankfully), with my diamond rings particularly popular! With this mind, I have designed three Sterling silver and diamond bands which are now available via my website. These rings are suitable to be worn as a wedding band or for everyday wear.

• The first ring has a frosted finish and is inset with a beautiful diamond.

•  This ring also has a frosted finish and is inset with a black diamond. This ring is suitable for both men and women.

•  Finally, my latest design has a grove running horizontally through the band. There are 8 sparkly diamonds set into the grove.

All three designs can be made in any size and from 18ct yellow or white gold. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in any of my designs.

Scottish Wildcat Association charity donation

Both myself and the Scottish Wildcat Association would like to say a big 'Thank You' to all those who purchased my jewellery over the past 7 months. 5% of each sale has been donated to help preserve the beautiful yet endangered Scottish Wildcat. I am sure this money will be benefitial to the wonderful work they do.

Happy New Year to everyone!

I am still here, although absolutely horrified how long it has been since my last post :-)

It has been very hectic here during the pre-Christmas period, I had many Not On The High Street and website orders, which kept me extremely busy. Unfortunately, this left me with my workshop being a complete mess and in need of proper tidying. I was given a beautiful new jeweller's bench for Christmas, which is going to be put in it's proper place hopefully on Wednesday and all my tools will be arranged, so I can find everything easily. I will post a photo of it later.

I have been having a small well-deserved (as I say so myself ;-)) holiday during Christmas period, which I used to have a think about some new designs for the New Year. As well as introducing other gemstones to my Daisy stacking rings, I am planning to expand my range of simple band rings made with single inset gemstones. My Petals range is also in some need of TLC, so I have been designing some more earrings, which will look gorgeous, being lightweight and having a lot of movement as well as sparkle from the gemstones. So, lots more to look forward to, once the kids go back to school.

New Website Design

It's been extremely busy here in my studio! I am very proud to announce that my new look website has finally been launched. Please take a look and let me know what you think www.liliandesigns.co.uk .

My dear husband has also been working very hard taking new photographs on a weathered wood background, which I think look fantastic.

In the meanwhile, I have been busy making new designs and trying out new techniques - fusing and granulation. There is a new rhodolite garnet stacking ring for sale in my outlets, with granulated bezel. I have also just completed an amethyst example and a few plain hammered bands and a simple 18k gold dot ring to complete the set. They all are of course available to order in your size (including 1/4 and 1/2 sizes).

Below are a few of my new items:
