- New for January -
This first new collection of 2024 is made up of wintry whites, frosty pale greens, and icy light blues. Along with these cooler tones, there are also warmer accents of gold. The stones that are featured are rainbow moonstone, turquoise, and fresh water pearls.
-
As with most of my collections there is a mix of larger statement pieces as well as daintier everyday designs. Teardrop, circle, and oval shapes are incorporated into many of the pieces. I kept most of the textures minimal and smooth this month to let the natural beauty of the stones do the talking.

In this photo I have finished hammering and doming gold and silver discs. Now I will attach the discs to handmade earwires.

Here I have just soldered bezel settings onto long wires. After cleaning the silver, I will hammer, file, and shape the metal to create turquoise cuff bracelets.

In this photo I've just finished soldering golden brass granules to this ring. The brass appears black now, but it will be shiny gold once I remove the oxidation caused by soldering.

It's almost time to set these stones! I've given the silver a pre-polish before setting the stones. I'll give the silver a final polish after the stones are in place.
