Handcrafted Semi-Precious Gemstone and Silver Jewelry with a Modern, Organic Style
The creative process of making a piece of jewelry is so rewarding to me. The thought comes into my mind about what I want to make, or how I envision a stone in a finished piece of jewelry, and then I go about making it. I am primarily self taught, so most of what you see here is the result of learning from trial and error. I've used on line video tutorials to learn metal smithing techniques, but the best way to figure this stuff out is to fire up that torch and practice!! I love the fact that there's always some new skill to master.
I adore semi-precious gemstones and believe in their healing qualities. Stones are not only beautiful, but they bring comfort, health and well-being to the person wearing them. My favorite metal to work with is silver because it is so beautiful when it has been manipulated by heat or texturing, then oxidized and polished. The finish is gorgeous. The beauty of making handcrafted jewelry is that the possibilities are endless!!
I am very happy you are visiting my shop. I hope you enjoy what you see here. Thank you for visiting!
