21.01.2022 Delivered these funky textured earrings to their new owner this week. Ever found yourself with jewellery you no longer like or wear? Why don’t we melt it down and transform it into something new for you, just like we did here! . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #yellowgold #remake #remade

21.01.2022 So this one deserves a little back story as it’s more than just a pretty little pearl. S’s mum came to me to get something custom made for her daughter. Luckily, S is a super super close high school friend so I know what she likes in terms of jewellery. Unluckily, we had just under a month to get it to her and S now lives in London (the joys of international postage!) In less than a week, we collaborated on the custom design, it was whipped up, shipped off and it would... get there in time. And magically it did! (it somehow even got there before it was planned for) I can’t think of a more amazing, deserving person to receive this custom piece, and right on time for her birthday HBD S . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #birthday #freshwaterpearls #whitegold #pearljewellery

20.01.2022 This is how your ‘draw out’ metal. It’s the process that involves feeding wire through a draw plate that slowly decreases in size to reduce the wires thickness. This contraption was actually handmade by the master jeweller I work alongside, and gives the process more power and ‘oomph’ that little me lacks! . . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workshop

20.01.2022 Congratulations to the very smitten M+C who recently were married in these crazy COVID-19 wedding times So happy that they were happy with M’s fitted 18ct White Gold wedding ring.

19.01.2022 Workbench Wednesday: One of the most common jobs I get from customers are resizes - changing the size of their current ring to make it bigger or smaller for more comfort. If you’re mesmerised (like I am with any time lapse video - no, but seriously..) and watch long enough, you’ll notice I repeat the same steps several times. This is because I resized this ring a substantial amount and had to take it up in size in increments. And if you preserved long enough reading this just... as long post (..bravo), it might be because you have a ring of your own that needs its own resize. Go on, PM me if I’m right . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #timelapse

18.01.2022 Workbench Wednesday: The final (and messiest) step to finishing off a piece of jewellery is polishing. Here, I’m using a polishing mop and rouge (which this type, ironically, is yellow ) to give this wedding ring the shine it deserves . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #polishing #shiny #yellowgold

15.01.2022 Can’t forget about the boys in the jewellery world! I don’t often post photographs of the men’s wedding bands I create, but this one is smooth, sleek and just a little bit unique (yes, I just got a little poetic there). . . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #weddingrings #whitegold #groom

14.01.2022 Workbench Thursday (whoops, may or may not have missed Wednesday ): People often ask me how I make the pieces I do. It’s hard to imagine how an engagement ring starts off with just a rectangular piece of metal. In a nutshell, it takes a lot of heating, cutting and manipulating. This heating aspect (here of platinum) is one of my favs, so long as you don’t take it too far and melt the piece! . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #metal #heat

13.01.2022 I don’t often get to break away from tradition with my gents wedding rings. But J was after something textural, and these subtle engravings take this 18ct Yellow Gold to a whole new level. What does the texture remind you of? . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #yellowgold #weddingrings #texture

12.01.2022 There’s something super sexy about a bit of symmetry Dropped off this custom piece last week, made up of existing customers pieces, melted down and reimagined it’s something shiny and new! . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #rosegold #sapphire #australiansapphire #diamonds #remade #recreation

10.01.2022 Tip #3: FYI boys and girls out there thinking about making THAT purchase, it’s important to have a bit of background information about diamonds first.

10.01.2022 Received the loveliest message from a client this week, who was recently surprised by her sneaky now-fiancé! Even though they live up in Queensland, C contacted me with hope to make something handmade and special for his girlfriend (also a C!) I think the photos show how happy she was with his choice!

09.01.2022 When S wanted to transform her mother’s old ring from Sri Lanka, she was after something fresh, unique and asymmetrical, without adding or removing any materials.

09.01.2022 Recently, I finished off the wedding band for this 2018 engagement ring. Just that, it’s not quite a traditional band, as R was after something organic, assymetrical and completely unique. With Ceylon Sapphires and a total of 11 diamonds, do you think we ticked off those boxes? . . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #ceylonsapphire #engagementring #weddingrings #diamond #whitegold #diamondsareagirlsbestfriend See more

09.01.2022 Going back to basics today with little shape earrings. So this is what 9ct yellow gold looks like before it is filed, sanded and polished to perfection. I know it’s not conventional, but I kind of love the inconsistent texture and colours of the oxidisation. Which is your fav, shiny or raw? . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #yellowgold

08.01.2022 Couldn’t settle with just one image of this ring, as every angle shows a brand new look. J sat down with me and we planned a completely unique ring, using the Ceylon Sapphires from her mother’s jewellery and adding a little extra with some diamonds. . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #yellowgold #semipreciousstone #sapphire #diamonds #yellowgold See more

08.01.2022 Took some pretty pink-peach sapphires to my client for her soon to be engagement ring. Which would you pick? . I have been a little absent on socials recently - apologises for this. There really no reason why, just that the craziness of life right now has meant it hasn’t been my biggest priority.

06.01.2022 This pair of earrings are extra special. Not only do they feature gorgeous trilliant cut amethysts, the stone of February, and just under half a carot of diamonds. But they were commissioned by my grandmother (who is not a big splurger), as a 60th (#sorrynotsorry) birthday present for my mother. As you can imagine, this is one of the most sentimental pieces I have made as a jeweller. I have so much love for these incredible women, but most importantly for my forever supportive, patient, understanding unofficial marketing consultant/business card hander-outer/gym buddy/bestie/mum on her special day . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #yellowgold #semipreciousstone #amethyst #diamonds #60thbirthday #earrings

06.01.2022 Workbench Wednesday: Sometimes, depending on the job and what is required I work with wax, not metal. Using similar files and techniques, I determine the design of whatever I’m working on in wax, which then is sent off to be cast into metal. It’s a super quick way of getting results buuuut I just have to remember not to press so hard - wax isn’t as forgiving! . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #waxsculpting #lostwaxcasting

05.01.2022 (A-not-so-usual) Workbench Wednesday (story): Recently, my high school contacted me about interviewing for a ‘where are they now’ article. This was both humbling and significant, as high school was where I made my first sterling silver ring and sparked my love of the industry. The problem was, I needed to provide a photo of myself at work, and after scrolling through over 2000+ images on my phone, I could not find one! So here is a rare selfie at the bench, (trust me, someth...ing that took some time to achieve!) that I think shows an honest representation of me at work. A view of the workbench from the other side! . . . #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #shamelessselfie #ilovemyjob

02.01.2022 Workbench Wednesday: Jewellery is all about repetition. People sometimes ask how I turn a basic piece of metal into an engagement ring (a valid question, but a tricky answer ) This is the first part of the process, working the metal down using the rollers to the correct thickness, annealing - or heating - the metal along the way. I tend to find this part quite therapeutic, what do you think (has it got you in a trance)? . . .... #jewellery #jewellerydesign #caitlinboydjewellerydesign #australiandesigner #madebyhand #artisianjewelry #emergingdesigner #sydneydesigner #workbenchwednesday #workbench #durston #repetition
