This is an experiment in making beaded jewelry.I like to explore materials and techniques, I have chosen some of my jewelry to share with you. I like to work with silver but I often mix in other materials and stones.

A broach, earrings and bracelet in sterling silver with patinated copper riveted on top.
A silver pendant with an aquamarine faceted stone, pearls in the chain, and lapis lazuli beads. It has a Moon/Water/Fish theme. This is quite a dramatic piece of jewelry.
This is a collection of Jewelry with Garnets.
This is a Mokume pin. It was made by soldering six separate layers together. Copper, Silver and Brass were used. After soldering I cut the block in 2 and resoldered one piece on top of the other. I rolled the block to bring it back to thinner size. When I had about 60 layers, I punched the back to dent the front. I then ground the face to cut through the different layers. I polished it and patinated the surface.
This group is an experiment in using various plywoods. These are died, and there are stones or silver bits riveted on the pins.
