• Simple Spinner

  Posted on Saturday February 14th, 2009 at 14:59 in ring, etsy, sterling, jewelry design, curly girl glass jewelry, spinner ring

  I finally did it. I wanted to make a spinner ring and here is my first go at it. Back to a very simple, almost stark, design. It has a very Scandinavian quality to me with plain band and the squared spinner. Sometime I think things just don't need an...

  Talk about evolution! The original design for this ring looks nothing like how this turned out. It's sort of a mish-mash of that design and my trying to figure out spinner rings. (A friend had left me her spinner ring to fix, so I got some "huh, how ...

• Exclaim Necklace

  Kinda says it all. Or most of it anyway. Angry, happy, excited; all expressed in a little symbol. I'm thinking I like the simplicity of punctuation. Might have to do others. The exclamation point I call Exclaim Necklace and it's available in my Etsy...

• Pursuit Chain Necklace

  Posted on Monday November 24th, 2008 at 14:12 in etsy, sterling, necklace, chain, jewelry design, curly girl glass jewelry

  Maybe with the economic "downturn"*, I've been going back to basics. Here's a simple, elegant design, but a bit heavier/chunkier. Sterling rings linked by 3 lengths of rolo chain. It's long, 32", so it slips right over the head and doesn't have a cla...

  A new design!I love the industrial feel and thought it looks like something that would be in a factory. I call them the Miller Necklace and the Miller Earrings. The balance between the chain and the metalwork really work. The brushed-back oxidation i...

  My first real foray into men's jewelry. I have, in the past made a pendant (on the right), that was based on a more feminine version I was selling, as a custom order. And I recently made leeettle earrings for a male friend. But up to now, nothing in ...

  The links in this chain necklace are based on the links in my Cipher Necklace. Cut short on one side, I solder on an open ring. The ring is fed through the drilled hole in the "tail" of the next link and then the ring is soldered shut.Filed clean, th...

• Jewelry: Evolution or Intelligent Design?

  Posted on Monday March 3rd, 2008 at 12:49 in jewelry making, process, sterling, necklace, chain, cascade, jumprings
