Designs by Lisa V ~ Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry

Welcome to my gallery page! I am a Self Representing Artist, designing unique & exquisite jewelry. I take great pride in my craftsmanship--using precision & attention with every detail.

Working with Sterling Silver is my main passion, but I also love to incorporate handcrafted Bali beads, Hill Tribe Silver, Artisan crafted Lampwork, gemstones, and Swarovski Crystals into my pieces.

Soldered Bezel Focal Bracelet

Soldered Bezel Focal Bracelet

I taught myself to solder today, and this is what I came up with! I've wanted to make a bezel on a bead for a long time, so I finally did it. I also handcrafted and soldered the side pieces, as well as making the clasp and rings.

Paisley Box Clasp

Paisley Box Clasp

I made my first box clasp!

I cut out silver sheet to resemble a paisly shape. Then, I handforged and soldered each piece in place. After lots of filing, sanding, and polishing ~ this is my result. For a first try, I'm pretty happy with it!

I think I will add a patina to finish it off, but I wanted to share it with you anyway. :) I can't wait to make more!!

These are completely handcrafted from sterling and gold fill wire. They are very time consuming to create, but are worth every bit of effort!!

Handcrafted Sterling & Boro Bracelet

Handcrafted Sterling & Boro Bracelet

My newest piece ~ completely handcrafted by me, with the exception of the boro & 2 little round spacers on the focal.

I bezel set the focal; handcrafted the butterfly charm, the toggle, and then endcaps; and I also cut the rings for the chain. This took many hours to create, but I am so proud of how it turned out! It's definitely the most work that I've ever put into one piece!!

Handcrafted Bezel Set Cabochons

Handcrafted Bezel Set Cabochons

These pieces were custom designed using cabochons from my customer. I created a sterling bezel for each stone, and then made a pendant and earrings. All of the sterling pieces were handforged, with the exception of the two small balls on the earwires.

Bezel-set Fused Glass Pendant

Bezel-set Fused Glass Pendant

My friend Amber (ThatBeadGirl.com) just started making fused glass, and this was her first piece. She sent it to me, to make it into a custom pendant. I created a fine silver bezel around the glass, soldered all of the pieces together, and handcrafted a sterling silver bail. Working with a larger piece was a little tricky, but it was fun working with a new material!

Soldered Bezel Framed Pendants

Soldered Bezel Framed Pendants

These were made by soldering a bezel to fit the bead, and then handforming a headpin & bail with heavy guage wire. I love how the bezels frame the beads and give them such a finished look! :)

Handcrafted Sterling & Boro Ring

Handcrafted Sterling & Boro Ring

This is a new ring design for me, where I soldered the band, and riveted on the top components. The bead sits upon a domed disc, which was hammered for texture. The bead and disc can spin around for a little added fun!

Thank you so much!
If you are referring to the top gallery picture ~ the center of that bangle is actually more than 30 pieces of sterling wire, handwoven together. I think it took around 9 hours to make that part alone!
