Sometimes whatever I’m working on just doesn’t seem to take shape. Like this one. But I’ve learned to work around challenges. In this case, I had to use my hammer to do what my fingers couldn’t. It all worked out in the end, and I have this beautiful piece to show for it. Now I just can’t decide if I should put it on Etsy or save it for my market booth. What do you think?

This is why I make jewelry. Reviews like this make every hour at the bench worth it!

Getting ready for market season. It starts in September and I want to have lots of new offerings, so I’m sitting at the workbench every day and trying to make at least one new piece. These are two that I finished up today, a sterling silver bar necklace with a tear-shaped kyanite and a sterling silver fidget necklace with some copper and silver balls. So much fun to play with!

I LOVE Moissanite! It’s a synthetic diamond, and I feel that it has more flash than an actual diamond. There are 8 of them in this sterling silver crescent moon pendant. I just love it! Don’t you?

Just finished these two sterling pendants today. The left one has cubic zirconia and the right one has larimar. I’m saving them for my outdoor markets, so they won’t be going in my shop. Feel free to get in touch if you’re interested in one of them.

Just finished! Flower pendant with cubic zirconia gemstones.

Sterling silver and chalcedony necklace. I finished it up today. The wave is about 3.5 inches long and the chalcedony is 10mm.

A fantasy starfish pendant made from sterling silver. I haven’t decided yet if I should put this in my Etsy shop or sell it at my weekend markets.

For the artist in you. And yes, I did spend hours filing and carving a small piece of wire into a paintbrush.
