Jewelry Making

I got into making jewelry as an unexpected consequence of learning metalworking techniques that I originally intended to apply to my work in wood and glass. It only took me a short while to realize that I really enjoyed designing and making jewelry and it has become my primary focus.

After sometimes many drawing iterations, I scan the drawing into my computer, scale it to size, and print a sheet of outlines. I then glue an outline to a sheet of sterling silver using rubber cement and cut out the design using a jeweler's saw with a very fine blade.
