turquoise pretty*


a client of mine has asked me to make her a ring, with a turquoise stone I bought a while ago. Very unusual turquoise, its greeny- blue and has many interesting markings on it. The client wants twisted wire around the tube, have only done this one other time with the twisted wire.. but it looks good so far.

silver pendant, with opal


I made this pendant for a client of mine,it was a special otder.
She wanted an opal pendant for her daughter and I found this tear drop shape opal which had beautiful colours. Some opals can be very boring and plain, but this one had pinks blue's green's and purple's. We decided to go with a shape that would flow off of the stone, so I made an oval base for the stone, attached the tube, jump ring and then made the V-pieve in proportion with the pendant.

rough around the edges


I am making silver earrings, with individual squares of different thicknesses soldered onto a round base. Im wanting them to look a bit rough and different.

I will attach a silver frame around each, and hope for the best :)
Let's see how these turn out...

plain oval top ring


I recently watched eclipse, the 3rd twilight movie and loved the character Bella's engagement ring. I decided to make something similiar in silver, and it turned out to be very sweet.

cute & round..


These silver earrings tuned out to be very cute. I made two flat silver rings, I then domed silver disks and soldered them together.

This is a sterling silver ring I made, I cut out parts of a thick band, and filed angles to form the shape of this ring.
