All Metal... 925


Wrapped, woven, hammered, coiled...  Just some words to describe these earrings and wires.  Someone presented the "all metal" idea, so I made the metal spheres vs. stone dangles.  I made the ear wires and also wrapped the tiny coils around those.  I've used quite a bit of sterling wire in three different gauges for this pair.  Patina added, patina removed...  You know the drill!  A simple thought and easy design, but all hand built and pure fun.

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.
