Sterling Silver Cuff and Ring


I took the plunge with some sterling silver on this project.  I ran some sample copper pieces through the mill for this gauge of metal and had it set just right.  You only have one pass through and with the cost of sterling, it's a big commitment.  There were two pieces I trimmed off the sheet for rings.  I made a wrap out of one piece and will make a band with the other.  The designs are on both the inside and out of the bracelet and ring.

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
