Ahhhhhhhhhh! The Holidays are here!

The holidays are here and retailers are ready to take your money!!! If you are going to go out and spend some of that hard earned money of yours, don't forget to check out your local shops and artisans.
Locally made products are always available without long lines and additional costs like shipping. Not to mention, you usually get a well made, original and authentic product.
Patronizing local shops and artisans can benefit you also by extending competitive prices and knowing that you are directly helping our much hurt and deflated economy.
We all know that we all hit the Targets and Walmarts and dept. stores in the mall, but if we make that extra little effort to buy at least some of our products (or produce for that matter) from the locals, EVERYONE benefits.

Handmade Holiday Hooplah - December 9th - Wine and fun!!!!

old stuff

Here are a few older pieces that just may be brought back....

Melting silver

I have always prided myself on working my projects from scratch. Now that's not just picking up the phone and ordering sheets or wire stock and then on with it. I usually melt down raw silver and then hammer and anneal it till I reach my desired shape.

Just my latest design for the guys. Now the chics can style it too, but it was meant for the dudes.
We have 18k rose gold rings and 14k solid white gold curved bars connecting one another. This gives off a conservative look while maintaining a feeling of style and class.

Well on with it.

Welcome everyone and anyone who is here reading what is to be a long and hopefully continuous rant about designs, jewelry, inspiration and one's inhibitions to have the balls to say it like it is.

I guess a little about what I do. I make and design my own jewelry line. Yep that's about it. Now I do also dabble a bit with watches, but that's because it's like crack for me. I am my own one man team. I create the idea, sometimes sketch it, but usually jump into it with both feet.

A new creation generally starts with a hunk of melted gold. At that point I start the hammering, rolling, annealling, etc until I come to the desired shape or form. I have made rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets, generally using 14k and 18k ( but on the ocasion) using sterling silver. Most of my pieces have a earthy or organic feel to it. I love allowing a new creation to take a life of its own.

I will have to admit, a lot of my pieces (more often than not) the first intention of the piece or my main idea will take a turn and end up in left field of someone else's backyard if you know what I mean. However the end result is usually exactly what I didn't know would come out, and it looks good too!

On ocasion I will start with an idea and end with the same idea. Usually for special orders. However I really enjoy where the other projects lead me.
