My newest bracelet design ~ handcrafted of Sterling Silver. Other than the boro bead, each part of this bracelet was handcrafted by me :)
This one is all mine, but custom orders are always welcome!

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.

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!!

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!!

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.

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!

A new design, where I've handforged heavy sterling wire to form a headpin and bail. These are my new favorites :)

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! :)

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!
