OK, I know most folk have been ‘blogging’ for a long time now, but  I have been doing other things! However, I have finally succeeded in getting a blog up and running.   How successful it will be is another question.

Had the pleasure to work on this very old watch chain bracelet. Customer wanted two links added. Every link is stamped 15.625. Which calculates at 15ct. New one on me. I used 18ct to make the new links. And added a safety chain.
My new bestest friend Jake semi- rescued. He’s been with me 4 months now and will not leave my side. I’m very flattered. ❤️
Blast from the past. Met up with the very talented Bruce Welch (ex-Shadows) at the 100 Club Oxford St, London a few years ago now. I hadn’t seen Bruce since 1971 when he popped into the TV Studios to see Lonnie. A really nice guy.
My dear friend of over 40 years who died suddenly after complications following brain surgery. Jon Hiseman playing #Auto-Tune drums Frankfurt fair 1978.
Not on bread alone doth man survive. Isn’t nice when a customer takes the time to write about the work you did for them? 👍
My very first record date in a real Studio. Decca Records June 1963 I was 21. 😳🙃🤩
I was 13 or 14 years old on a two week holiday in Butlins Holiday Camp in north Wales. I just sat on the front edge of the stage every night listening-to the Les Douglas Orc. And watching the drummer Kenny Duff. At the end of the season my great uncle asked if I could have my pic taken behind the kit. Kenny was a lovely guy and gave me some great advice. He gave me a pair of Premier sticks and told me to buy the Buddy Rich drum tutor. It wasn’t until 15 years later did I come to meet him again, I was thrilled and wanted to thank him for his good advice and for being so kind all those years ago. Unfortunately, he wasn’t so pleased to see me as, I was brought in to play for a visiting star at a Sunday night concert at his residency in Morecome as they said he wasn’t good enough from previous concerts at the venue. I was so sad and angry at the people who had booked me. I tried jogging Kenny’s memory but I had the feeling he had already decided we weren’t gonna be friends.
Gazed....have you ever hit thumb with a bloody great hammer? 😂😂

I thought this 18ct y/g Puzzle ring was gonna give some problems. The lady customer needed it upsizing 3sizes. As it happens the six piece ring was no problem at all. Anyone guess why? 👍. #jewelleryrepairs #madeinwales #atthebench #markantonyjewellery #puzzlering
All become clear! My bristle brushes do not have galloping hair loss!😳
White nylon bristle brushes. And a really bad bunch, all the bristles are flying out. Never had this before.
Meeting HRH Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh and our Queen’s husband. This was at a fundraiser in about 1987. Fond memories of days before the dreaded MS struck down my gorgeous wife.
Just a couple of pics from recent jobs.
My new buddy Jake. He had walked me 7 miles this week. I think that’s more than the whole month before he adopted me. Love him to bits. 😊
Remember the gold bangle with the broken charm? Ok, so finally finished and packed ready for the customer. 🙃 Phew!!! #markantonyjewellery #jewelleryrepairs #atthebench #hswalshandsons #madebyhand #madeinwales
From the sterling ingot given to the customer by her grandfather, and into a bangle. Her design and words engraved on the inside.
This is Jake. He joined our family yesterday, initially for a trial period but I think he’s wormed his way into our hearts. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
A repair to a 9ct y/g bangle. The ball which was made up of tiny hearts had broken. Customer wanted it removed and with some of her other gold, s. New ball made to match existing.
Sterling Torque bangle made to customer’s exact spec. Made from a 100 year old spoon, textured, LoS.
