The collections
Work
Four collections, thirty two pieces. Every listing gives the material, the surface, the actual weighed weight and a price with nothing hidden in it.
Rings and Bands
Forged and seamed bands in sterling and Britannia silver, sized to the finger rather than to a chart.

Four numbers and one word
Every piece is described the same way, so two things can be compared without translation.
Material
Sterling silver at 925 parts per thousand, or Britannia at 958. Sterling is harder and better for daily wear. Britannia is softer and whiter and takes many annealings without staining. There is more on both in the studio.
925 or 958
Finish
The surface, and the single thing that most decides how a piece ages. Planished, satin, matte, sandblasted, mirror, hammered or oxidised, each explained in choosing a finish.
Seven surfaces
Weight
The actual weighed weight of the piece photographed, in grams. Hand made pieces of the same pattern vary by a gram or so and the listing is not rounded to hide that.
In grams
Price
In pounds, including UK delivery and any hallmarking the piece needs. Not negotiable, because there is no margin built in to take off, which is set out in what it costs to make a thing by hand.
In pounds
