This is a custom piece I made for a friend. I have no idea what the big stone is, but it has sentimental value to the owner of the piece. The other two are peridot (my favorite). Its all sterling silver and just a bit bigger than a lighter.

It's been a while since I posted any work. My house burned down about a month ago and all my material and tools were lost. Fortunately my son,wife and one of my dogs are all ok. I did lose a good friend, my dog, Rider (aka CC aka i know you dog), by far the worst part. On a happier note i'm in the process of reacquiring everything i lost. This is a piece i finished the night before the fire. My wife was wearing it to work so it survived. besides this piece a hat pin and my wifes mothersday gift are all that survived.
This pendant is sterling silver wire, sterling silver sheet and fine silver. The silver is holding a black tourmaline, moldavite, and a beautiful yellow apatite.
these pictures dont do it justice.

this is my first attempt at setting a stone. I didn't have any bezel or any of the right tools. i've been waiting to get spome. I couldn't wait though so i figured i'd try it out with some scraps of silver i had, pliers and one of those huge tipped plumbing torches from home-depot. Hopefully i'll be able to get a lot smoother outcome with the right equipment. let me know what you think about it.

I'm pretty excited to have finished this bracelet. I've never made one before so it was an interesting process. all in all I'm happy with it.I made the bracelet for a friend and the design is based off of a bracelet she had at one time. she described it to me and this is what I came up with. Give me some feedback. much love.

Made this as a self motivator. I haven't done any work at all in the past month and a half due to life events and work, so I wanted to make something real quick just to get myself back in the zone. I used scrap sterling, fine silver bezel a kyanite and a faceted garnet. Ended up pretty happy with it. Let me know how you feel about it.

So when I finally got my silver wire in the mail I was no where to be found. It was perfect. At the moment I opened up the envelope and saw the wire I was even more hooked on wrapping, which I didn't think was possible. Here are a few of my first pendants. hope you like 'em.

i dont even know what to say about this piece. i like it. it has 3 rhodolite garnets, a quartz point, black tourmaline, green tourmaline, and a yellow apetite. for some reason it kind of reminds me of a pomegranate.

Sterling sheet fine silver bezel, one beautiful green tourmaline and a trillion cut blue topaz. I'm completely self taught in this art form. most of what i've learned, I learned from checking out other peoples work and some research online. I have a lot to learn, but I'm pretty happy with my progress thus far. please let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions, let me know. much love. colin

Blue Kyanite
Black Tourmaline
Quartz
Im pretty happy with how this one came out. By the end of finishing the longer weave I felt like I had a lot better feeling for getting a smooth weave. Everytime I wrap a peice I learn a little bit more. It's the constant growth in wrapping that i love, you never know where it's gonna end up. hope you like my work. much love
