Last month I was thinking about when I started silversmithing, and I've been revisiting some of the first things I ever made. This pendant was one of the first pieces I created when I started studying in Brisbane. Read more about it here on my blog.

I'll be posting some more Silver Forge nostalgia over the coming weeks, so why not sign up for blog updates via email so you don't miss anything?

I have now released the first portion of my divine Greek ceramic earring collection ~ you can find these lovelies in The Silver Forge shop. As I like to offer a little something extra to you to show my appreciation for reading this newsletter each month, please have 25% off all these ceramic earrings for the next week - just use coupon code CERAMIC25 at the checkout.

There are some smaller ceramic earrings on the way. If you'd like to see each pair as they are released, you can sign up for my new release email update here - you'll get a quick email once a week showing you what's new in the shop! 
 

 

I've been taking a look through the various photos I've taken of my workspace over the last three years - you can read the latest update (with lots of piccies!) over on my blog.
 

There are two winners of last month's anniversary newsletter giveaway, Annie and Eliane. Congratulations! These guys both get to choose their own pair of Czech glass and sterling silver earrings from my shop. 

I'd like to offer all my lovely readers a 20% discount on any pair of earrings from the Czech Glass section of The Silver Forge Shop, just to say thank you for being such great supporters. Please use coupon code 29NEWS20 at the checkout, as many times as you like! 
 

Ever wished you could get yourself a Silver Forge piece, but haven't quite had the budget for it? Don't forget that I'm now offering a lay-by option. You can read all about that here!
 

Each month I like to give away a pair of earrings to one lucky newsletter reader. This month, a pair of these snow white Czech glass earrings could be yours! Just by being subscribed to this newsletter, you're in the running - nothing else you have to do! I'll announce the winner in the next newsletter.

If you'd like to see more of these handcrafted earrings, you can find them in the earring section of The Silver Forge shop.
 

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me to make a donation to Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management last month. The donation is going to  assist WOCAN to provide urgently need food, tarps and blankets to the people affected by the recent earthquakes in Nepal.
 

My lovely Granny likes opals, and I love my Granny, so I created this ring for her!

If you'd like your own custom piece, get in touch with me, and we can work together to create something special. You can see more custom pieces I've created on my website in my bespoke gallery ~ and I often update my gemstone collection with new cabochons for you to choose from. If you have a favourite gemstone you don't see on my website, please let me know ~ I'm always happy to try to source something new in for you!
 

Rogan Brown's artwork is amazing! His pieces are completely hand cut from paper. Based on the smallest structures found within the human body: cells, microbes, pathogens, and neurons, these creations are a marvel to behold.
