Although I would really to like to see the Shetlands, it is my jewellery will be going to Shetland for Christmas. How very exciting! I will be working through the summer months to create the collection. My work will be exhibited during the special Christmas show at the ShetlandArts’s Bonhoga Gallery in Weisdale Mill. If you are close by go and visit the Gallery.
…I made a sterling silver wedding band for a groom. A simple ring but an important one.
Do let me know if you wish to have a ring make to your measurement whether it is a wedding ring or not by emailing me at contact@silverkupe.com. Best wishes to the happy couple.

Some of my silver items are hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office. I can now exhibit the dealer’s notice. The hallmark contains the sponsor’s mark (that’s me) which is EMT, the fineness mark which is 999 for pure silver, assay office mark which is a castle for Edinburgh Assay Office and a year mark which is a “t” for 2018.
Now there is almost a month to go for this trade fair. I am almost prepared though so much to do.
Just re-reading some of the articles from BCTF website such as this one that makes me proud:
“Why choose BCFT? – 43 years in the making…..BCTF showcases the and the largest collection of the UK’s most talented designer-makers, its dedication to promoting British is unparalleled.
