Degrees
|
|
100% self taught through 20 years experience in jewelry design. With one exception, one man who taught me how to do a very basic wire wrap for a crystal I owned. It was that one moment that sparked my passion for all things metal. And if I can spark that moment for you, wow how great that would be

My Expert Service
|
|
I have been designing jewelry for 20 years. I mainly concentrate on wire manipulation, through techniques as simple as making your own findings, to making your own bezel cups and setting stones. I am an expert on heat soldering with precious and semi precious metals, and all supplies needed and companies to find supplies. Also with finishing a project, which includes pickling, polishing, and techniques to create different finishes on your metals, and the tools to do them. And especially if your on a budget. I have traveled throughout the US showing and selling my designs. I am deeply passionate about jewelry design and sharing my knowledge with others that have a desire to learn this amazing craft. It may also be possible to do a step by step lesson via webcam

Also I am well versed in the business aspects, such as displaying your wares, wholesale companies to find your cheapest silver and gold, and displaying your jewelry. I am also a student of crystal qualities and characteristics. Meaning I can guide you in choosing stones or gems for their specific characteristics and healing abilities.
