5 of a Kind

Today is the last day of our exhibition at the Omba Gallery in Windhoek. This evening all the purchases are collected by our clients and we can pack up the rest of the exhibition.

I promised my biggest fans ( parents...) that I would post some photos from the exhibition. The pieces were made specifically for the exhibition and are all once - off designs. The majority of the work has been sold which I am very happy about! (...A little extra spending money for our trip to Italy at the end of May...an extra sugar cone and gelato everyday!)

So before we head off for the long weekend, I'll share some of the pieces from the exhibition.

We are off to a wedding in Wit Rivier. Really looking forward to a beautiful wedding celebration, a weekend of friends and sight seeing in Mpumalanga! And hopefully apple and cinnamon pancakes in Pilgrims Rest : )

Tuesday I am back in Studio and have a few interesting engagement rings lined up! Watch this space.

Wedding Weekend

This past Easter Weekend, we were privileged to be guests at the most beautiful wedding! The reception was held in the veld, with the most awesome view! In the Gamsberg mountains in Namibia. I only met the bride last year through a mutual friend, but since our first tea date - turned brunch - turned - coffee- turned to setting up a cycle date, we have become such good friends! We can chat about gardening, new recipes, wedding blogs, African adventures and love stories and dreams and all pretty things - all the things my husband is very grateful I have a girlfriend to share with : )

So when she asked me to make their wedding bands and gifts for bridesmaids, as well as gifts for both moms, I was so excited! I felt so privileged to be part of their wedding in such a big way.

To George and Karlien (who are at this very moment soaking up the sun in the most exotic honeymoon location!!!), weereens baie geluk! En vreeslik baie dankie vir die mooiste troufees! Wat n droom : )

The pendants for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. Brass pendant on silver chain with personalized engraving.

 

Bridesmaid bracelets. Each shape different and each with a pastel shade of embroidery cotton detail from the wedding colour theme.

The 9ct yellow gold wedding bands. Rope ring and hammered texture wedding band with significant gps co-ordinates engraved.

 

I love this last photo. The engagement ring was designed and made by the mutual friend that introduced us, Alet Snyman. one of my good friends from University and an AMAZING jeweller! If you live in Durban - shes the girl to go to! Very special that we both get a spot on Karliens ring finger ; )
