So…. I didn’t have time to work on my one of a kind bangle designs yet, but I did manage to get some fusing done and create prototypes for several bangle styles that I hope will become staples of my jewelry line. So far, I’ve made them using three different sizes of wire (16, 14, [...]

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 [...]

If you have metal scraps and are looking for a way to recycle them, you might want to try water casting. It is really easy to do and all you need is a torch, scraps of metal, something to hold the metal while you melt it, and a dish of water (I used a large [...]

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, [...]

This fun pearl ring was an experiment I did in making rings with thinner wire for the bands. I love how it turned out. I made it pretty small, actually about a size smaller than I intended, so it’s now a lovely pinky ring for me. Sometimes slight errors mean I get to keep a [...]

I love this new silver-and-pearl ring I made, so much I’m tempted to keep it for myself, except that I need about one size smaller to wear it on my ring finger. This ring is made from argentium silver wire with cultured freshwater pearls that have been color treated to look like black Tahitian pearls. [...]
