I thought I’d talk a bit about one of my favourite British jewellers, Wendy Ramshaw,
who passed away at the beginning of this
year. Wendy was a very successful goldsmith with a distinctive style, and you can find her pieces all over the world.

There are a lot of things that I
like and admire about her work, but what I remember and think about the most are her
iconic stacking rings that she made to be stored on unique
lathe-turned pillars. Here are a few examples:

Aren’t they amazing? If you have a chance to see her work in
person, I really recommend it.
Stacking rings remain very popular. They’re
great because they offer a multitude of different configurations, and whenever
I see them, I think of Wendy Ramshaw.
Here are some examples from the studio:
