My jewelry is organic and draws from nature in both form and texture. In nature there is the balance and opposition that mirrors all of our lives.
Artisan Crafted Sterling Silver Jewelry with gemstones and precious metals. I am a maker of handmade wedding rings and sets,alternative engagement rings, promise rings, commitment rings, and gemstone jewelry. As I child I spent lots of time at Art Fairs, I was in awe of the talent and the beauty but could never afford to bring any of it home. I always thought artists were a special breed of people
that were born with some special talent that sprouted forth whole. I started this journey as a potter for a hobby. Clay led to metal clay and when I found that limiting I took a metalsmithing class and then I fell in love. you see, I always thought I would be a collector and not a maker but once you find the medium that speaks to you the need to be a maker is overwhelming. When I first started working in metal I felt instantly at home. I feel very lucky to be able to fill my days doing something I love to do & I hope it shows in my work. We are all artists and we all can develop that talent that is born within all of us. It is important to me to make things that are affordable and beautiful so that everyone can bring a piece home. Everyone deserves beauty in their lives, especially little dreamer girls wandering art fairs. I want to be certain that you my valued customers know that the jewelry I make is handmade by my hands. I use two methods to create my jewelry. One is a traditional metalsmithing - such as sawing, soldering, forming, using hand tools such as saws, hammers, and mandrels.etc. The other way I create jewelry is the lost wax casting method. This method starts with a piece of wax I have shaped with my hands into the form, or sometimes an organic piece such as a pod or branch. These pieces are invested in a plaster type substance and are burned away (ie the "lost" part of the name) and molten metal is shot into the cavity that is created, I use a centrifugal caster to be specific. Please feel sure that these pieces are created one at a time, with love and care, by my and only my hands. Etsy has decided to allow manufactured items on this platform please be certain of what you are buying if you are looking for a handmade item and be sure you are getting full disclosure from the seller you choose.
