These are the earrings to go with the brooch posted earlier. It may be old fashioned in a way but I like making a set, though in this case it was challenging to do earrings like this. Despite planning ahead for how to set these enamel pieces the dimensional shapes were finicky to add ear wires to, so I am pleased they turned out. #vitreousenamel #enamel #enameljewelry #earrings #oneofakindjewelry #theenamelistsociety #fsg #snagmember

Like last night’s sun on the Boston Harbor, these etched earrings have many drops of golden sun—18k ones. Edgy and shimmery at the same time. #etchedearrings #etchedsilver #sterlingsilverjewelry #mixedmetaljewelry #18kgold #leafmotif #silverandgoldearrings

Blue Moonstone Studs from the Primary collection – made, like the accompanying necklace, from Argentium silver.
'How to texture wax' is a 28 min. tutorial on how I create textured wax sheet and wire to be used in lost wax fabricated jewelry. I plan on teaching in-person waxwork and casting classes here in the studio beginning in the fall, if you live in Western Maine.
