D R Cruickshank, plain silver ring, London, 1972 (Ref S+2317) SOLD

D R Cruickshank, a plain silver ring, London, 1972, stamped ‘DC‘ for D R Cruickshank, of rectangular box like construction, finger size N leading edge (Ref S+2317) SOLD

I believe this to be the work of one David Cruickshank. He obtained a Scottish graduate Diploma in Silversmithing and Graphic Design, in 1963. Studied in Denmark, silversmithing and enamelling before returning to London. Post graduate Art Teachers Certificate. After several years teaching he opened his own business in 1971 then moved to Australia in 1982. Over the years he retrained himself as a jeweller and took on all sorts of work, though still doing the occasional piece of silversmithing.
He supplied shops and galleries with both commercial and artistic work. I developed a range of titanium and 18ct gold rings, in the 1980s. He is now producing a range of titanium ear drops and pendants double cut on a lathe to produce a moire effect and then heat colouring them.
