A bit of cutting, a bit of filing, a bit soldering, a bit of polishing and voila 💍

A tight join where the shank has been cut is vital for a seamless join 👨🏻‍🏭🧐

This will be a pear shaped emerald with a diamond halo set in 18ct yellow gold. Using customers stones, I set each one around the halo before setting the emerald. I loved this one and I am obsessed with how it looked after setting each diamond in the halo🤣

Keep your eye out for the video I post! Sooooo sparkly!!! ✨

💎Tennis Bracelet repair💎

Don’t get a lot of these through so this was a fun repair. The link between two settings had completely snapped so I removed what was left of the old one.. drilled and soldered in a new piece, then set the stones again and voila! A now repaired tennis bracelet 🤓

💍Everyone starts somewhere..💍

In July 2019, I made the ring in the first picture for my partner.. that year one of my goals was to make and set a ring which had a stone in it. Albeit not very good now (absolutely shocking🤪), it was a huge achievement for me. After going through some old jewellery pictures, it’s nice to look back and reflect how far I have developed my skills for this beautiful industry. Looking back at the first picture; I can still feel that same amount of excitement and passion of actually making it… its a nice reminder to keep developing my skills to create lovely pieces of jewellery 🤍

Everyone starts somewhere.. and you’ve just got to keep going and pushing 💪🏻

✨Follow the process! ✨

Every ring I make starts out with the shank. This is the round section which fits around the finger. For this ring I started out with round wire and put it through my rolling mill to give it a slight ‘D’ shape. Once it’s rolled; I bend it up to to a circle with some overlap and then I cut and solder the join to create the ring 💍

From here I made the setting by cutting out an oval shape and soldering the claws onto it. Creating the setting. I tried a different method of securing the setting to the shank this time by drilling a holy through the shank and soldering a post onto the setting. This allowed for a more solid join🔥

As you can see in the last pic I solder the setting to the shank to create the ring 💍

Metal work complete✅ time for filing and polishing before setting 🔨🤓

✨Part 2 - Eternity Ring ✨

Once the band is formed I mark out where I would like the stones to sit trying to leave as little gap as possible between them💎

I use a small ball phrase to open the seats for the stones up to the size required and then a pave burr to cut the final seat for each stone. After this I use a graver to cut down the centre of the band and then a cylindrical burr on the outside to make the scallops✨

Next is the setting!💎✨✨

💎 Part 1 - Make an eternity ring with me 💎

Follow along the process of me making this yellow gold and diamond eternity ring.

I first started with melting some yellow gold and poured it to create a bar of gold. I roll it through my rolling mill to get the desired thickness and then I roll one edge to create a curve on the inside of the ring for a snuggle fit which you can see on the pictures📸

Once rolled, I form it around my mandrel into a loop and then saw it to create an open circle. After filing each end flush I bend the band together using pliers ready for soldering 👨🏻‍🏭
After cutting a small piece of solder and fluxing the joint I solder it closed creating a full circle🔘
I then file, sand and polish the ring ready for setting✨

Keep following for part 2 🔥

💥My old bedroom💥

My Journey in Jewellery:
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how far I've come in my jewellery business journey. It all started right here, in the cozy confines of my bedroom, where I dreamed, designed, and created pieces that reflected my passion for all things sparkly. 💎✨
I remember those late nights huddled over my workbench, sketching designs and meticulously crafting each delicate detail. It was a labor of love, driven by the belief that I could bring something unique and special to the world.

Fast forward a couple of years and with your incredible support I moved into my shop 🏠. Who knows where I will end up along this jewellery journey but I am looking forward to finding out.
I'm grateful for each and every one of you who has been a part of this journey. Whether you've been a customer, a friend, or simply a supporter from afar, you've played a significant role in allowing me to pursue my passion.

Thank you💍🔨

💥 I love being an Independent jeweller💥
As an independent jewellers, I am passionate about creating unique and bespoke jewellery pieces that are tailored to each customers' individual style and taste. My independence allows us to have complete creative control over the jewellery.

I know I have said it before but in the big corporate jeweller world, everything is mass produced and because of this; jewellery is sometimes classed as throw away jewellery. No love, sweat, graft (and sometimes tears🤪) have gone into making it. Supporting an independent jeweller means that you’re supporting someone who genuinely loves every aspect of the craft. It means you’re not supporting a big jewellery chain where they make millions but you’re supporting a small jeweller who tries to put so much attention to detail and love and craftsmanship into his work to provide you with a gorgeous piece of jewellery and an excellent service💥
Thank you for every interaction you have with James Martin Jewellery🇬🇧 I do appreciate every single one of you!

I apologise for my recent silence, as I’ve recently moved house! Things have been a bit hectic whilst we move and settle in. I’m looking forward to get back to creating beautiful pieces for you guys. Thank you for your patience during this transition

💍 The Sophia 💍

Solitaire engagement rings are a firm favourite of mine. There’s something about the simplicity of one stone which is what I love. Small or big.. they’re a classic looking ring which fits in with the style of what I love to make 🔨

Simple - Minimal - Elegant ✨

💎 Handcrafting a trilogy ring 💎

I’m probably around 50% of the way through making this ring currently with the majority of the metal work done.

Next job is to pre polish what I can and then to solder the claws on 🦞

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on this ring 👀
