Sterling Silver Celtic Cuff Bracelet

This was a great project to practice precise soldering. I used two different gauges of wire and it took three stages of soldering. The circles are lightly hammered, and the whole thing was oxidized.

My First Cabochon



This stone is a local jasper, and it's my first attempt at cutting and polishing stone. I think I did pretty good if I do say so myself! (I would have polished a bit more, but it was getting late) It's a large shield shape, about 1 1/2 inches from curve to point. I can't wait to do more!

African Sapphire and Sterling Silver Earrings

Two different styles with the same materials, sterling silver and African sapphires. Both pairs are about 2" long from the top of the earwire.
The sterling "wave" type earrings were hard to photograph, the silver really catches the light as they move.

Silver and Copper Earrings

I'm going through a phase of making silver and copper organic feeling earrings, with a bit of a modern/contemporary flair, a lot of oxidized and brushed finishes as well as circles and curvy flowing shapes, I hope you like them!

Sterling Silver Circle Set



I used 16 gauge wire to make the larger rings, (about ½” outside edge to outside edge) soldered and hammered and 20 gauge for the chain, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

Here is the same ring from my earlier post but I have given it a patina to look a bit aged.
I might oxidize the blue set, but I'm not sure yet. :)
