It’s good to be back at the bench after a day off, cracking on with orders for spinner rings! 😵‍💫 The radio is on with some good music and the hammer is at the ready! 🔨💪🏻 I hope you are having a fabulous day!

Hooray, it’s on its way!! 🥳
The coursework is complete and is on its way for marking! 😅 I’m feeling huge relief, wasn’t sure I could do it but I will have to wait until January for the feedback and for the jewellery to be returned.
I’m celebrating tonight! 🥳

Beaded earrings! These are a winner with my custom

Beaded earrings! These are a winner with my customers 🤩

They have a hook at the back so they don’t fall out when you wear a high neck scarf or jumper - much needed at this time of year! 🥶

I have them in various styles - glitter hammered, line hammered and a choice of disc sizes. They are adorned with a semi precious beads, choose a birthstone or favourite colour, they are very versatile!

Find them online or at the hut, priced from £40, we are open from 11-6 today!

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right!

The final three pieces of coursework are finished and ready to post on Monday after a quick photo session before I box them up. I will share the mood board and each piece afterwards.

To be honest, I didn’t think I could pull this off. I had asked for an extension on the hand in date but it was disallowed. I have worked day and night to meet the deadline, high stress levels, lacking sleep, big anxiety about making the setting and physically setting the stone in the ring with never attempting that size or style before. The criteria was that all of the project had to be your own work so a professional stone setter was out of the question.

Tomorrow I will be doing the final polish on the locket from a few weeks ago and making a small piece of filigree work. Monday I will be posting the parcel and celebrating an achievement that I’m pretty proud of!

Huge thanks to family and friends for the encouragement of pushing me to finish this, much love to you 🥰

This Blue Goldstone pendant was much admired at the weekend! 🤗

It is a lovely dark purple black stone with mauve sparkles which glisten in the light. It’s a chunky one off piece measuring 21mm wide by 43mm long, it features on an 18” Figaro chain. Priced at £175.

It won’t hang around for long in the dazzle season! 🎁 Find it online, at the hut or DM for info.

Will you be joining us at the Festive Market? 🤗 🎄🎅🎁🧑‍🎄🎄

We are open tomorrow, 4pm - 8pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am - 6pm.

There’s some lovely hut owners with amazing Christmas gifts, fabulous food, drinks, a DJ, festive films and Santa’s Grotto (pre booking required)!

This one is for my landlocked friends and those mermaids and pirates that love the sea! 🧜‍♀️🏴‍☠️Enjoy the scenery, the sound of the crashing and the creeping waves and the crunching of the shingle soothe your soul as it did mine 🩵

Yesterday I went to The Warren to collect some sea glass, a perfect accompaniment to my coursework earrings. This beach was once a refuse tip/dumping ground and the rough seas tumble any glass shards into tactile sea treasures.

The place feels like it has been long forgotten, it has sinister qualities and if pirates exist, they would surely anchor down at The Warren. There is so much beauty in the decay 🖤

Shop small and independent! 🛍️ Black Friday

Shop small and independent! 🛍️

Black Friday is looming and big corporations are plugging it left, right and centre, but stop! 🛑 Do you really need that extra thing? Is it really such a bargain or has the price been drastically inflated to be reduced back down for BF? 98% of BF deals aren’t usually the cheapest price of the year! 😮

Consider your purchase and shop small, local and independent! So many of the shops on our high streets are closing down and possibly never to return. One in three small businesses fear closure by the end of this year! 😢

By supporting small businesses, you are putting your money into the local economy, supporting a lifestyle, a passion for that small business owner. Not everyone understands the joy of buying handmade. A visitor to my hut on Friday voiced ‘£80 for a chip fork, WOW!’ He embarrassed himself and more so, the lady that he was with! I didn’t waste my time or breath on explaining the raised cost of the silver, the weight of it, my time to saw by hand, file, buff, polish, Hallmark or box that piece. I won’t be doing any Black Friday deals, if anything, I underprice my pieces 🙅‍♀️
Remember, it’s quality, not quantity!

These have a hook at the back for added security, meaning they won’t fall out if you wear a scarf, high neck jumper or just have a jolly good night out! 🥂

Head to the website for these and more, DM for info or pop into the hut on Friday: 4pm - 8pm, Saturday & Sunday: 11am - 6pm. Priced at £40 per pair.

So the coursework continues and I realise I’m never going to be a professional camera woman! 😆🩵

I finished the inner bezel for the Emerald cut Aquamarine, that was the third attempt and now it fits like a glove 🥳 It now needs to be soldered to the outer one and tidied up before I solder it to the shank of the ring 😅

Yesterday the pear shaped Aquamarine arrived for the anchor pendant. It’s eye clean and a real beauty. This shape setting is much easier to make, the inner and outer bezels need to be soldered, filed and put together.

It’s slow and careful progress, remembering to breathe and have some patience! Hand in date is a week tomorrow! 😬

The official post for the harbour being closed to the public today, due to winds that could break our national speed limits on the roads! I can hear it blowing a hooley from here! 🌪️🌊

I will be head down getting onto my project piece, this ring is giving me grief but it will be worth it in the end.

If you need you fix of shiny stuff, head to my newly built website! It still needs a few tweaks but it’s almost there! Saying link in bio isn’t the done thing nowadays, but that’s where you can find it, otherwise it’s inSilver.co.uk and all of the letters that surround it or DM me! Aimi x 🤩

Just received the news that due to the potentially high 60mph winds, the harbour marketplace will be closed tomorrow (Sunday)! Obviously this for safety reasons so a wise call, but not so great for the pocket of the self employed that trade here! 😢 Hopefully open until 6pm today but keep an eye on stories for updates!

The Festive Marketplace is open but it’s extremely windy, I’ve already lost a strand of tinsel! If you want to visit and be blown by Bert, we are open until 6pm - hopefully! 🤗

🙏HELP - if you can please!🙏

Everyone’s favourite search engine Google, closed my Leicestershire inSilver page and now I have to start from scratch! 😢

I received some amazing reviews from my jewellery and workshops over the years and now I don’t have any. It really helps with ranking, getting found and giving confidence to potential customers!

If you could spare a minute to leave a review on this wet and dreary day, I would be so grateful!

Just go to Google and type ‘inSilver’ and hit reviews at the top of the page! Thank you my friends! Aimi x 😘

Hooray! The stone is now sitting in its outer setting! 🥳 The next job is to make a smaller setting to go inside this one to ‘seat’ the stone onto to keep it level. The outer one took a couple of hours and still needs a bit of refining! Making progress though 🩵 My nails even have nail polish on them now! 🤭😂
