The following is a show of the stages in creating a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.

Custom Jewelry

Following the process of making each facet of the project they are joined together  with  durability, character, and natural effects in mind to create a  finished piece that will hopefully bring satisfaction to one seeking to enjoy the beauty of all that nature  has  given to us.  

After removing the model from the

casting clay  an open form is left  

for the pouring of molten sterling.

Using natural shapes such as this

 sea shell is much easier than

having to make a model.

Making models of 

clay and baked in

the oven to harden for

casting in sterling.

Carving and polishing until

you feel the objective has been

accomplished.

I hear many artisans say they look into the material and see what is inside wanting to come alive.  When  I first saw this gem of African Colla agate I can say that I could see the ocean waters and foam in the waves. It is all hypothetical at first until it develops as one continues

to bring it all to life. You know, waves, dolphins, shells, starfish, perils, they all take their place in forming a real life scene.
