Wow, thank you so much for showing me all that love on my post yesterday! I'd like to acknowledge the people who helped me prepare for the jury: @hkm_jewelry @robinmillerartisanjewelry @brookevanderzeedesigns @bpkphotography and @prettyshinybeads . These friends helped me deal with the application process, gave me an idea of what to expect at the jury, and helped critique the jewelry I chose and the display I set up. I appreciate your support so much! #sleepycatjewelry #thankyou #silversmith #metalsmith #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist #OOAKjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #hearts #feelingthelove #thankfulforfriends #njartist #haverfordguildofcraftsmen #madebyhand #madewithlove #bespokejewelry #benchjeweler #ladysmith https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc3Gljs300/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Oooh, I 💗 how this turned out—I'm gonna call it "Wave Ring." I love playing around with wax and seeing where it takes me. This one's already promised to someone else, but DM me if you'd like something similar. 🤗 #wavering #jewelryartist #beautifuljewelry #organicjewelry #benchjeweler #bespokejewelry #cooljewels #customjeweler #customjewelry #customjewelrydesign #customrings #customweddingbands #everydayluxury #finejewelry #silverlover #handmadeluxury #instarings #jewellerystyle #jewelrydesign #jewelryobsessed #jewelryofig #jewelryofinstagram #jewelryaddict #jewelryjunkie #jewelryoftheday #jewelryporn #jewelrywithmeaning #waveartist (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnU-mi5yIIn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The next part of my current jewellery course is the construction of a hinged bale. A bale is a loop that holds a pendant on to a chain, and if your chain is particularly heavy, the base may need to be hinged to hook it on to the chain. This whole process is incredibly fiddly. The whole piece is about 1.5cm long, and the small tubular section where the hinge will be built is only 5mm wide. Anyway, here’s some progress pics…. .

Ethiopian opal is believed to be an emotional intensifier, enhancing the true nature of those who wear it. Some say it strengthens the will to live and shields the wearer against negativity, burning off karma. Practitioners of energy work say it activates the base and sacral chakras, although other base colors of this opal can be used with corresponding chakras if needed.

Another redo, this time with larimar earrings. I trimmed off the watercast elements and removed most of the patina for a shinier look. Simplifying isn't always the best answer, but, in this case, I think it is. I think the elements I made with wire give these earrings all the extra they need and bring the focus more to those beautiful stones! #sleepycatjewelry #redo #larimarearrings #silversmith #metalsmith #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist #ooakjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #benchjeweler #njartist #madebyhand #opthandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp70xWDufcZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Happy Valentine's Day! I made this knuckleduster ring ages ago. I loved it, but...it never sold. So I deconstructed it and made it into something totally different. In the coming weeks I'll show you what I did. In the meantime, what are you doing to celebrate? #benchjeweler #knuckledusters #bespokejewelry #customjeweler #statementrings #customjewelry #customrings #everydayluxury #finejewelry #gemlover #geminspo #goldlove #goldlovers #handmadejewelry #handmadeluxury #instagems #instajewels #heartrings #instarings #jewelrydesign #jewelryofig #jewelryofinstagram #jewelrywithmeaning #lorinczijewelry #showmeyourring #unusualgemstones #pinksapphires #heartjewelry (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqDQpDy10_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
