Yeah!!! So after the last set I made I decided to rephotograph them as the old color was one I was trying to fade out as a background color in my shop - so i changed it to white since they are wedding rings and I thought " hm... wouldn't it be great to have it in white for a wedding themed treasury... or front page even!" and it made it! I am so incredibly excited anytime I make it on the front page, but extra excited b/c I love these rings so much. And it makes it even more special to love making wedding rings. It wouldn't be any fun to not love making a symbol of love now would it? Also very interesting was that I was making a set today, two separate single ones, and working on designing a new set of wedding bands to offer! Love just must have been in the air! Thanks Etsy and DIY Bride for including my rings on the front page and in the Storque Article!

This was one of three rings I made for someone to chose from - I think this is my favorite! All fused and hammered argentium sterling silver. I haven't made any of the rings in a long time and I'm hoping to get back in to making them!

I love this texture! I started doing variations of it when I was still in school and 6 years later I still love it! After the first commission to do a set of wedding bands, I decided they would make a great addition of made to order pieces in my shop. This is the most recent pair and I'm loving them more than ever! I think its best to put lots of love into wedding rings - and these are full of it! They can be done in yellow or white gold as well.

I made several of these last year and then like usual don't really stick to making one style. I'd like to come back to making them as I love how they turn out! the organic twist and turn of the fused and hammered "ribbon" - and I love carnelian with silver, especially silver w/ a bit of patina.

They are quite challenging as well, as every bit is fused, no soldering at all. The band is fused and hammered, the bezel is fused to the backplate and then those two pieces are fused together. Then the ribbon of the two fused wires is made and fused to the back of the ring - it all gets tumbled and then the stone is set - and then the ribbon is formed over top of the stone. I was super happy with how this one turned out, especially because it was a custom piece!

my newest favorite piece!! I started making these sweet little rings b/c I like wearing little rings and realized that I usually just make larger rings! I've been doing vine and leaf motif rings for years and it was only natural to have a little tiny vine and leaf ring! I wear one all the time - so tiny it doesn't get in my way, so I just never take it off.

Its handmade in wax and cast in sterling silver - all in my studio :) Each one is unique, not from a mold, I like them to all be a tiny bit different.

My sweeties and my initials carved in to my tree bark texture and cast in sterling silver. Aww, I love it. Custom ones are available in my etsy shop if you want a personalized tree bark of love!

Share the Love!

This special ring is one of the first pieces I've entered for any show or publication in a long time. I'm really excited and hope that it gets in - the show will be at the SNAG conference in Savannah this year and then will travel around the country. How fun would that be?!

This lovely pendant was made on request, but there is still another available in my etsy shop! It is of course, the constellation Sagittarius - a different take on zodiac inspired jewelry - I love the actual constellations!
