I’ve had an obsession with circles for the past six months or so. They pop up in almost all of my jewelry designs, and when I don’t have a new idea I sometimes make a bunch of fused circles just so I’ll have them on hand when inspiration strikes. It was just a matter of [...]

Two of my favorite techniques to use in jewelry making are fusing and sculpting abstract shapes with wire. A while back, I was experimenting with ways to combine the two, and came up with a technique I call fire sculpting. It’s a little sculpting wire, a little fusing/melting, followed by more sculpting, and I think [...]

As you can see in the pictures, when worn, all that is visible is the textured silver bar, but when not being worn, these earrings look like the letter T. Both styles are up for sale in the [...]

I love how a really beautiful bead can make a fairly simple design *work* so well. One of my favorite simple earring designs is to dangle a great bead or two from my oversized hook earwires. When I got my latest shipment from Artbeads of Swarovski crystal beads (and yarn! they make yarn with Swarovski [...]

These cute little spiral earrings are completely handmade from Argentium silver wire. See the little space at the bottom? That is so I can add dangles to some of them (or, if you are a jewelry maker yourself, but don’t like making earwires, you could customize a pair easily for a more fancy look than [...]

I wasn’t planning on making any new jewelry designs in June, but…then I got a request for a custom order, and started making some options of earrings with gold colored freshwater pearls. I really love how these turned out: Buy a pair for $20 + shipping: My customer likes them, but the look she’s going [...]
