The Crown Ring

Made in sterling silver. I have just finished this ring and added it to my Etsy shop. A rather sweet little crown/tiara ring.

Trophy repair. A new sterling silver base.

Sometimes I get odd requests. A client came into my shop and asked if I could make a new ring for his trophy base. The old base had fallen apart so he made a new one in wood and wanted to add another silver ring.

The trophy dated back to 1930, so hopefully this new ring will last another 80+ years.

The Shop - First Pics.

Here some photos of my shop in sunny Kent.

One is taken from the door, looking in and the other from behind my workstation.

I now have a number of "other" goods for sale within the shop covering several different disciplines. Ceramics, cloth bags, leather bags, plushies, felt brooches, wooden gifts, fairy dolls, handmade greeting cards, original artwork, limited edition prints and of course my own jewellery.

I will elaborate on some of the Etsy items I have for sale in another post.

Got to get back to the grindstone.

Back to the blog.........

well , after opening my shop this year March 2007, I have been quite busy with just about everything.

So I have lots and lots to tell you about, and my new commitment is to add a blog entry daily. Some times it will be about the shop and the new items i am stocking. Sometimes it will be about the work of others that I have come across.

So my first bit of news is that I have discovered the wonders of Etsy.

You can visit my Etsy shop www.chrisparry.etsy.com
You can of course visit my regular website www.chris-parry.co.uk
or indeed you can pop into the shop in Gravesend, Kent, UK.
