Here's my first post of the year and I'll start it off with a pair of elegant sterling silver, amethyst and rose quartz earrings.

She saw the earrings that I made for my mother and had to have them. I made her a necklace to match. Each head pin is individually flame formed, cleaned, buffed and polished by hand. The complete set contains 77 clear Swarovsky crystals with all metal being sterling silver.

Made with 1mm sterling round wire that I wrapped in a ball then flamed until it reached the desired effect. I then set a sweet n lustrous 5 mm round freshwater pearl in the cavity of the tumble weed like ball. Like all my pieces, no two are alike. More so with this piece because of the nature of fluid metal. I've made more of these tumbleweed balls without the pearl. This one is pictured with a gold chain but can be strung on any other chain. Now that I think about it, silk ribbon would be fab.

I finished this ring today. This ring is made of three thin hand fabricated sterling silver bands that have been stacked and soldered together. I then took 14k goldfill wire which I partially hammered and wrapped around the sterling bands. The gold is secured onto the sterling band with solder.

I made this ring from square sterling silver stock and faceted mookite rondelles (Jasper family of stones). I brushed it to a matte finish.

I made these earrings out of round sterling silver wire which I beat and contorted into submission. I photographed them on an unfinished painting that I will NEVER complete.
