Robert West Portfolio




If you need something custom made, either personal or corporate, please feel free to e-mail me at rwwest@telusplanet.net  anytime. Custom Diamond Engagement rings and wedding bands are my specialty. If you have your own ideas, I would be happy to make them a reality.

Expert and Professional Jewelry repairs are also available.



If you would like to see my Automotive line of Jewelry (WrenchHead Jewelry) or visit my car hobby site (My Love Of Cars), just click on the appropriate link on the right.



The Tanzanite and Diamond Pendant below is reversible. It is finished on both sides to allow the wearer some flexibility.































































































































































































































































Pictured below are a pair of my hand carved waxes in progress. This is the first stage of a custom piece. As you can imagine, it can take many hours to get the details just right. The owl weighs 35.0 grams of 18 KT yellow gold finished. A pair of bezel set black spinels into the eyes to replicate pupils was an excellent choice. This mount has a personality of it's own when seen in person.



The second wax is my interpretation of an Ancient Celtic Harvest symbol. The original wax was flat, but I domed it to give it depth. It is presently cast in Sterling Silver as a master model, and will be moulded. After it is moulded, the pin/pendant will be cast in 18KT Yellow Gold.
































































Here is a new one for the avid Horse enthusiast. I carved this model just recently. An updated photo will follow upon completion. With a blue sapphire or a diamond in the eye, this classic brooch would make an excellent gift or wonderful family heirloom. It will measure approximately 1 1\2 " x 2" upon completion. If interested in purchasing this item in 18Kt Gold or Platinum, please contact me at the e-mail located in my profile.



This beautiful 14 mm Tahitian Pearl with Diamonds set in 19KT White Gold, was conceived and sketched by a local customer ( Akhila ). Her drawing made it easy to produce a wax model for her approval. This was truly a great experience for me. I wish all my customers entered this process with such enthusiasm. What we have here are a few photos taken at different phases of completion.













































I have recently been engaged in developing a new line of Automotive, Sport and Trade Inspired jewelry ( WrenchHead Jewelry). This is a new direction for me, but something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. I have always been an automotive enthusiast. I now have 15 pieces in my line and will be marketing them in the near future. I also have an E-bay store showcasing a few items. These are truly unique and not available in Retail Jewelry Stores anywhere.

Below is a picture of one of my carburetors . It is highly detailed in two tone 14Kt, and weighs approximately 25.0 grams.




This is my Goldsmithing Shop. Beside creating items of the calibre portrayed above, I also provide all jewellery related services to my clients.
