Rhodolite Garnets with 24k Gold in Sterling Silver Brooch This piece came together in an effort to use some odd shapes that I had left over from other designs. I have made pieces before that were feminine clothing so it was a natural to do another vest! I seem to like making those best! Two mirror sterling pieces connected with textured sterling wire that has 24k Gold bonded using the primitive Asian technique of keum boo. Two rhodolite garnets accent each side. The pin is held in place with swirls at the vest top. This was made in a class I taught and we all had so much fun creating…

Aqua Chalcedony Sterling and 24k Gold Pendant Sterling silver pendant (about 2″ long, 1/2″ wide at the bottom), hand cut and textured. Handmade bezel captures a 6mm aqua chalcedony cabochon – I cut the back out under the cab so the light will shine through. The bottom of the pendant is kissed with a touch of 24k gold foil, which was applied using the ancient Asian technique called Keum Boo. The handmade Sterling bezel is riveted on with 16g Sterling silver wire. Sterling 1mm cable chain and spring ring finish the piece. Overall length approximately 18.5″. By Lisa.

Heat Patina Copper and Turquoise Dangle Earrings Playing with fire is a favorite thing of mine to do and heating copper to bring out rich colors is so, so awesome! Ok, details. The triangles at the bottom are about 1″ at the widest part. They are slightly domed to give dimension. The top disc is about a half inch in diameter and are also slightly domed. The copper pieces are lightly textured along the edges and have been protected so as to keep the wonderful patina. A 3mm turquoise bead of outstanding color is wire wrapped to connect the copper pieces. Handmade Sterling ear wires add the finishing touch. By…

Silver Woven Puff Heart Necklace I do not own a hydraulic press so this puff heart was achieved using acrylic as the form. It’s a fun process and could be done with any material that you can cut or carve a shape into. The silver was put through a rolling mill first to impress the lovely texture. It was then formed and cut. Sterling wire was then shaped around the heart and they were woven together with more Sterling wire. Riveted bail holds the pendant to the chain and a tassel swings freely below the heart. Approximately 19 inches long. Sterling heart lobster claw secures it around your neck. By…
