This is a completely hollow sterling ring. It features an inlayed stone at the top, and is very comfortable to wear!


This piece here is made from two separate pieces. The first is an inlayed stone pendant the second is a pierced sterling charm that fits over the inlay. You can wear it separately or together. When they are together, the layers correspond with the spaces between the clouds in the charm, giving it a "sunset" effect. <3

This piece here has a bezel setting holding a nice cabachon I made. The setting flips around on that bar that it rests on too!


These are three pieces of jewelry that I made for one of my classes. The first was hand formed from 20 gauge sterling silver sheet metal, as was the second one. The third is made from 13 gauge sterling wire. I cut and polished each stone from a rough slab, and gave the pieces a high polish to them.

Even though I did these myself, I put around 70+ hours into these, so I wouldn't exactly call them easy DIY. I'm also majoring in Metals at my school so I have access to all the fun hammers and torches and other metalsmithing equipment. I just wanted to share my pieces and maybe inspire someone else if I could. Thank you!
