Here they are, my latest earrings, a hoopy style that is worn like a hook: They come in four sizes (so far) ranging from 1 cm circles (a bit less than 1/2 inch) up to 23 mm circles (2.3 cm or 7/8 inch). The hooks all come down slightly more than an inch in back, [...]

Thought I’d share some progress photos from the new jewelry series I’m working on…the finished pieces may or may not resemble these photos at all! It’s a very experimental series for me and I’m having a blast working out the process. This first one (above) is closest to being finished. It is made from fine [...]

A lot of the jewelry designs I have in mind include silver circles – so I made a whole bunch in various sizes. The process I used is very similar to how band rings are made from wire. I start by cutting wire to the length I need, and filing the ends til they are [...]

One of my favorite techniques, which I hadn’t played with in a while, is using a torch to sculpt fine silver into interesting, organic sculptures. I used the torch a little bit making my Random Knot earrings recently, and it gave me the idea to make some fire-sculpted earrings. The result is this pair. The [...]

I made a couple of argentium silver rings recently. I can’t decide if I should send them to Exhibit One in Oklahoma, take them to ProArts in Oakland, CA, or list them for sale in my etsy shop…

My old digital camera (a Sony Cybershot that I had for almost 4 years) broke, and since I’m running a business that operates partly online, I really needed to replace it quickly. I liked the old one a lot – it was easy to use, and took pretty good pictures of my jewelry, as well [...]

I just sent off a few new pieces to Exhibit One Gallery in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Here is one of the necklaces, a one of a kind piece that will be for sale there in January: It is made from Argentium sterling silver, a type of sterling silver formulated to resist tarnishing longer than regular sterling [...]

I just can’t decide if this fused piece is finished or not. It is scraps of Argentium sterling silver with a freshwater pearl dangle. I actually did the fusing months ago, and wasn’t sure what to do with the resulting piece of metal. Yesterday at my studio, I decided to drill two holes – one [...]

I enjoy making my own silver head pins by melting a ball of metal at the end of a piece of wire. It’s fairly easy to do, and enables you to always have the length you need in the gauge you need for a project. I use a slightly different technique depending on which type [...]
