Jeweller's bench:
Sterling silver parts.
Castings came back this week. Getting caught up on some of my waxes that have been laying about for an embarrassing long time. But it’s all fun stuff, things I’ve been designing and carving for fun or practice.
Up next: Polishing and fabricating components and possibly some bead stringing!
Jeweller's bench:
14k yellow gold, garnet ring.
I love to wear lots of rings, but I hate to have them clink together throughout the day. Its a strange personal quirk I know. So when midi rings started coming back in style I was ever so happy. I made a series of midi rings in different sizes so I can wear a bunch at once. Most of them are a simple circle design in delicate 14ky wire. I couldn't resist adding some colour, so there are a few with tourmaline, a very special diamond, some fancy swirls, and this lovely rhodolite garnet.
I once heard them refered to as raspberry rhodolite garnets. I thought it was such a lovely description of the colour, that now its how I think of them in my own head.
Jeweller's bench:
Ebony, sterling silver earrings.
Been using the lathe a lot the past few days. I love using wood in earrings. I love big jewellery, and using wood is a great way to keep earrings light weight without cutting down size. I get to design my earrings as big and bold as I like.
