Some new jewelry

A few new pieces

Turquoise heart

Turquoise heart - back (duh)

This heart is sterling silver and turquoise with little spirals and copper accents around the rim of the base. I love to add some dimension by raising up the spirals to the same level of the cabochon. It gives the whole piece a much more substantial look.

Ocean Jasper necklace

back view

The Ocean Jasper on this pendant is a lovely creamy color with sagey green lichen like spots. It’s very earthy and peaceful.

The metal base is fused copper and sterling silver that’s been textured and shaped into a sideways figure 8. Next photo will show this…

Sun with 18K gold

This is my latest version of the Sun signature piece. It uses a technique called Keum Boo where the gold is fused to the surface of the silver. I’ve oxidized the whole thing to further bring out the textures.

The rays are a mix of sterling silver and copper and the rim around the sun center is brass.
