About my Silver Jewelry
Most all major components in my jewelry designs are hand made with Precious Metal Clay (PMC). This clay is made up of pure silver particles along with a binder that burns away after being fired in a kiln. The pieces are .999 pure vs the .925 content of sterling silver.

I polish and oxidize my designs to give them a pewter patina finish that highlights the detail in the designs and gives a timeless and distinct look. (See image at right)

I use a combination of fine silver and sterling silver wire on connections and sterling silver jump rings. I solder most all ring connection points. I work with semiprecious stones, freshwater pearls or lampworked glass beads as highlighted in each description.

Stainless steel, sterling silver, and copper chain is utilized as noted in each description. Hardware chain is used when it is not noted. This chain has a pewter patina finish that will not tarnish or change color, solders well and has an interesting shaped link unique to my designs.

All pieces are designed by me and made by my hands. I will create more than one piece of a design, but because my silver pieces are not casted, but made individually, every piece is an original. No two will be exactly alike. And because the semiprecious stones I use are made by God, no two of them are alike either! So please understand that your piece may vary slightly from the photo or from each other if you order multiples. Some designs are not available in multiples because of uniqueness of a found object or availability of a particular stone or bead.

About my Fused Glass and Silver Jewelry
The fusing process with fine silver gives unpredictable, sometimes unexpected and always interesting results. And because the glass pieces are cut by hand and the fine silver is also either painted, stamped or layered by hand, no two will ever be the same! Bubbles that happen are part of the process. Sterling silver bails are glued onto the glass. Sterling silver chain, leather or rubber cording and stainless steel or nickel ball chain is used as noted in each individual description. Some designs are not available in multiples because of availability of glass or hand dyed silk cord. Please remember: these are glass and will break if dropped or banged on hard surfaces.
