My jewelry is always evolving. I love the lush colors of gemstones and like to find creative ways to display them. I took some metals classes recently so am incorporating some of the soldered/hammered textured features of copper or sterling in my creations. I use good materials and test the strength of a piece before I finish it. Sterling is my primary metal and it is in most earrings. I also use gold filled or copper or natural brass. All are non-allergic for most people.
