Posted @withregram • @zenaugolini_art Mr Willoughby’s paw. Side by side photo/painting comparison. Got to love those little toe beans.

This is a very personal piece that I made for my beautiful niece, Evelyn for her birthday 🎁

She is a big fan of the Harry Potter books and she devoured the whole series over the last year...all before she was 8 years old!!

For other Harry Potter fans, hopefully you will recognise the “Deathly Hallows” symbol that I made by hand in recycled ♻️ sterling silver.

Very excited to be sending this order out today - a lovely combination of a sparkles stacking ring paired with a dark skies ring. The stone is a blue goldstone which is a lovely dark blue with sparkles which reflect the light, reminding me of stars at night 🌟

Off to the post office!

Day 25 - “Personal touch”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Very happy with my new printed "How to care for your jewellery" sheets - fab job @thestudiohernebay. I always try to use local businesses!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These care sheets are provided, along with a jewellery cleaning cloth, with every purchase @jmbsilver.

This is one of our personal touches! 💓

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I don't know if anyone spotted... but yesterdays post was meat to be for today and so this is yesterday post! 🙈

Day 23 - "Photography"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the set up I had at the beginning when I first started my business. Taking photos of tiny, shiny objects is sooooooh difficult! 🤯

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, I now use my iPhone, natural light from a window and an app called camera +2 that I heard about from @karenyoungphotographyuk 👍🏻.

I think my jewellery photos have come a long way comparing them from 3 years ago 🧐

Day 23 - “Tools and Materials”

#MarchMeetTheMaker

These are a selection of my hammers which are used to flatten, stretch, bend and texture. They need special love 💓 and care to keep them in top notch condition - so as you can see at the top of the photo, they all have their own sock 🧦 to protect them when not in use!!

Day 17 - "Proud of"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am proud of being part of a tradition that began in 1238 when Henry III made the earliest attempt to regulate the standard of gold and silver wares.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are interested in learning more about the history of The Hallmark you can read about it here: www.assayofficelondon.co.uk/about-us/history-of-hallmarking

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Hallmark is made up of a number of marks that are applied to precious metals by law - gold, silver, platinum and palladium. This shows the piece has been tested independently and that the metal conforms to legal standards of purity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking at the photo this is a Hallmark on one of my pieces showing marks from left to right:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• My makers mark (this is unique to me and is registered at the London Assay Office)

• Lion - Traditional Fineness - Sterling Silver

• 925 - Millesimal Fineness

• Leopard Head - Assay Office Mark - shows this piece was tested and hallmarked at London Assay Office

• T - Date Letter Mark - shows this piece was hallmarked in 2017

Day 16 - "Self Care"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took this photo on one of my favourite beaches on #sark - and it reminds me that life is a balancing act.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since starting my own small business, I have noticed that I have to be mindful to take time off for me. It is very easy to get wrapped up in work - as there is only me. I am responsible for all aspects of the business - designing, sourcing materials, making the products, stock taking, accounting, admin, advertising/social media, photography, planning ahead, craft fairs, networking - and before I know it, I have worked everyday of the week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I try to do to look after myself in the following ways:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Exercise - I try not to use my car 🚗
• good food made from scratch
• hydration
• sleep
• yoga
• walking by the sea
• time off work!

What do you do to take care of you?

Day 15 - "Help"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hi Everyone - I would like to introduce my gorgeous workshop assistant "Dylan". 🐇

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is a beautiful and friendly house rabbit who belongs to my daughter and helps me in my workshop.

Dylan is very good at helping me to stop work on a regular basis and take little breaks where I give him lots of attention, cuddles and his favourite vegetables 🥬🥒🥕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is just too cute to ignore for very long 🐰😍

Day 13 - "USP"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#MarchMeetTheMaker
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@jmbsilver everything is handmade - even the ear - wires and ear posts!

This statement necklace took hours of work to make and solder together each sterling silver link - even the clasp is handmade.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why buy mass produce jewellery?

It has not been specially made for you and lots of other people will have the same item.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Purchasing from a small business like @jmbsilver you are buying something unique which has been made with love and care by someone who enjoys being creative.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jewellery that is "made by hand" has been sawn, soldered, carved, shaped, hammered and polished without using manufacturing machinery. With this in mind, you can see why something handmade is often more expensive because it takes so much longer to make the item or piece of jewellery.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From designing a piece of jewellery to the finished product can sometimes take weeks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, when buying jewellery from @jmbsilver you know that the materials used are from reputable sources, ethically sourced and by supporting our small business you are buying local and British!
