'out with the old' sale
I've been doing a bit of a stock-take, and I've discovered some pieces that I'm not going to be creating again (and some one offs that didn't make it through) for one reason or another; so it's a chance for a celebration of 'out with the old'! I do love a good clear out, and I've added a 'clearance' section to my online shop - you can get yourself a once-in-a-lifetime bargain, with many pieces up to 50% off and free postage worldwide. Start shopping now!

new collection
mineralist
This new range of gemstone and silver earrings is growing. I'm finding them a little bit addictive! You can browse them in my online shop.
These earrings are $39, and as they're proving quite popular, just for my lovely newsletter readers I'd like to repeat my offer from last month of a 20% discount - just use coupon code MINERALIST20 at the checkout. (This discount will be available for the next week only, so get in quick!) Postage is free to anywhere in the world.

Last month, it was all about that great Australian icon, the koala. Koalas are in trouble, and The Australian Koala Foundation are trying to save them, so a big thanks to everyone who bought something - I've donated 10% of The Silver Forge sales to this very worthy cause!

custom pieces
titanium coated drusy agate ring
This custom made ring was quite a hit when I showed it off recently - it is now with its lovely new owner, Rosie, and she is very happy with it! Rosie won The Silver Forge Endeavour Foundation raffle prize and put that towards this beautiful piece.
If you have an idea for a custom piece for yourself or for someone special in your life, contact me and we can talk about a design - I'd love to create something wonderful with you! You can see more custom pieces I've created on my website in my Bespoke Gallery ~ and my gemstone collection is brimming with treasures for you to choose from!

wild, weird & wonderful
cornucopia
Andy Goldsworthy creates amazing, beautiful simple art in collaboration with nature. Leaves, rocks, flowers, sticks.. all are wonderously arranged into fleeting repetitive patterns, which Goldsworthy then photographs. Google him - you'll be glad you did!
