I’ve been using Argentium silver wire for some time to make earring wires, but only recently learned it can be fused together without solder. I’ve been having some fun lately incorporating this new-to-me knowledge into my designs. I used 14 gauge jump rings from Rio Grande jewelry supply, in both 10mm and 8mm sizes on… Continue reading Fused Argentium Silver Jump Rings

I may have a vague idea or sketch, but usually, I just let the beads… Continue reading Blue Quartz and Crystal Collection

I finally gave in and invested in a quality phone. I have not even scratched the surface of what it can do! I did take a few photos of jewelry of course, and also recorded myself making a couple of pieces. I am not happy with my camera placement, but you can see some of… Continue reading Red Garnet and Gold Bracelet

I’m really trying to keep up with posting and updating! Today I created a showcase of various recent pieces and added to my YouTube channel. You can access my channel by clicking Watch in the menu. Please like and subscribe!

I finally found a video editing app for my phone that seems to do the things I need it to do and I think I can actually use it! Next, new overhead phone mount so that I can get a better view for video, and possibly a new phone! I made this necklace a few… Continue reading Hammered Pewter Necklace
