What I do
Handmade Jewelry Made With Love
Jewelry making is an intricate craft that combines artistic vision with a deep understanding of materials. As an artisan specializing in handmade jewelry, I employ wire weaving and beading techniques to create unique, detailed pieces. The process involves selecting high-quality materials such as sterling silver, gold-plated wire, copper, brass, and a variety of gemstones, each chosen for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Understanding the properties of metals, such as the softness of pure copper for intricate designs or the structural integrity of half-hard wire, ensures that every piece is both beautiful and durable. I also take into account the potential for skin sensitivities, avoiding materials like nickel, which can cause allergic reactions. Gemstones, ranging from semi-precious to lab-created, add depth and character, with each stone meticulously chosen for its color, cut, and clarity. This dedication to materials and craftsmanship reflects my passion for jewelry making and commitment to educating others about this art form.
