These pieces were custom designed using cabochons from my customer. I created a sterling bezel for each stone, and then made a pendant and earrings. All of the sterling pieces were handforged, with the exception of the two small balls on the earwires.

My friend Amber (ThatBeadGirl.com) just started making fused glass, and this was her first piece. She sent it to me, to make it into a custom pendant. I created a fine silver bezel around the glass, soldered all of the pieces together, and handcrafted a sterling silver bail. Working with a larger piece was a little tricky, but it was fun working with a new material!

My newest piece ~ completely handcrafted by me, with the exception of the boro & 2 little round spacers on the focal.
I bezel set the focal; handcrafted the butterfly charm, the toggle, and then endcaps; and I also cut the rings for the chain. This took many hours to create, but I am so proud of how it turned out! It's definitely the most work that I've ever put into one piece!!

I taught myself to solder today, and this is what I came up with! I've wanted to make a bezel on a bead for a long time, so I finally did it. I also handcrafted and soldered the side pieces, as well as making the clasp and rings.

A new design, where I've handforged heavy sterling wire to form a headpin and bail. These are my new favorites :)

This is a new ring design for me, where I soldered the band, and riveted on the top components. The bead sits upon a domed disc, which was hammered for texture. The bead and disc can spin around for a little added fun!

I love to create unique earrings from sterling silver. Earwires are also custom made, to suit each individual pair.

This was made by soldering a bezel to fit the bead, and then handforming a headpin & bail with heavy guage wire. I love how it turned out! :)

I love having one beautiful bead as the centerpiece of a bracelet. I designed these bangles just for that purpose! The curved sides keep the bracelet in place, and the bead on top, where it belongs!
Several of these were custom made for friends who are lampwork artists. They made the beads, sent them to me, and I made the bracelet for them. So FuN! :)

Handcrafted bangles created on heavy gauge sterling wire. Extremely sturdy, due to their unique construction, and very comfortable to wear!

These bracelets display beautiful chains that I handcrafted. I love to combine chunky Sterling chains with gorgeous lampwork, and other beautiful beads!
