My first metalsmithing practice run, two malachite round cabs set in sterling silver

My first finished practice pieces, I hand fabricated, and soldered. A matching ring and pendant necklace set with small Malachite stones. They were inspired by a ring I made in the metalsmithing class I took as a senior in highschool at OSU, but later lost. I was so excited to be able to redesign similar pieces!

My first sold metalsmithed piece, a redesign for a pendant

This was the first metalsmithed design to be made and sold out of my studio! A customer brought in a green glass piece and asked for a custom frame after the bail had broken. I so enjoyed this project and being able to make it wearable again!

September

 Introduction to lapidary arts

The start of my lapidary journey, a small seed that was planted somewhere in colorado by a Master Gem Cutter who told me I could do it when he sold me a slab of lace agate in the summer of 2018. I work at Prarie Arts Center in Stillwater using their equipment to cut stones and I can't wait to finish and share my first collection, coming soon!

  • I used to make jewelry when I was young. Learned silversmithing and loved it. Keep up the good work.
