I'm a huge fan of David Neale's jewellery. There is a thoughtfulness to his work that I really admire.
"When a piece is successful; when it seems to be more than what I've put into it - this is the most enjoyable part of the whole pursuit." From Davidneale.com.au
A beautiful ring made from a scythe.
He sometimes even goes out and pans for the gold he uses - that's pretty dedicated. It reminds me of why jewellery is so precious, the best of it has a symbolic value above and beyond it's monetary value.
