Jewelry

I like to make jewelry…here are a few of my favorite pieces.

This is the piece I’m currently most proud of. I made the glass cabochons at a fused glass workshop, and I was thrilled with the way they turned out. The silver pieces are also hand crafted—cut on a jeweler’s saw and dapped to give them a little dome. In the end, this piece took me around 10 hours: cutting, sanding, brazing, etc. It’s my bragging piece.

This is made with faceted Rhodochrosite coin beads, Rose Quartz, and dyed pink pearls. It’s probably my heaviest piece, largely because of the Rose Quartz. I think it looks really nice, though. It was my bragging piece before the silver and glass necklace.

All the links in this chain are hand-made. I love millefiore, and I wanted to make a necklace that features these beads and makes other people notice and love millefiore, too.

Pearls. Who doesn’t love pearls? These are graduated strands, each one hand-knotted with a different color string. The color is extremely subtle, but it’s a fun approach to a classic.

These are some hammered silver earrings. They were dapped and then pounded with a tiny ball-peen hammer. Lastly, they were tumbled to make them super shiny!
