I am always amazed to read about the people behind the work as they never seem to be what I would have pictured; which is exactly what happened with this talented artisan! Picture a man that spent years in the US Navy (thank you for that service!) and then moved on to work in construction […]
I love copper jewelry don’t you? It took me a while to figure out how to slow down the tarnish and the proper way to clean my favorite metal safely. The best way to keep it nice is to always store your jewelry in a separate plastic zip bag.(silver too) I prefer natural methods over […]
I was thinking and decided to try a twisted wire project. I took three strands of 18 gauge round soft copper wire and twisted them together into one strand. Showing this to my wife, she said, why don’t you use silver. I would like something done with this in silver. I took three strands of […]

My Mother kept her jewelry in the top drawer of a high dresser. I’m not sure if she did this out of convenience or to to keep her valuables away from little scroungers like me but regardless, her efforts were in vain. I still remember the many times I dragged her vanity stool over […]
