I’ve added two new items to a new weddings section, a Moissanite and sterling silver engagement ring and the birch bark ring as a set. I’m very grateful to the customer who first ordered a Moissanite set in the pine branch- because it’s something that I guess you need to see to experience- it’s very brilliant, which is a great contrast with the organic setting. So I ordered several of them and I hope to offer the 4.5 mm moissanite stone with other twig textures soon. Also coming soon is a larger and thicker version of the birch bark ring. I plan to offer it in two different widths to best accomodate larger and smaller sizes. I’m working on another new item, a pine cone, something I’ve been trying to accomplish for a long time. Hopefully it will be in my shop by the end of the January.

I was so excited to be featured seller on Etsy for two days this week (10/27 and 10/28). I think I’ve had around 150 orders since then- it was a challenge to get everything shipped out since I don’t have any help, but most orders shipped the same or next day. I’m just lucky I had more pieces ready to ship in preparation for the holidays!

Here’s the honeycomb ring in its final version. I thought about making it a wide band, alternating rows of 2 and 3, but this way it’s much more comfortable for every day. I will probably make some pendants too.

Preview of a new item- the honeycomb ring is made of fused argentium sterling silver. My favorite part of making this ring was fusing the band to the top. This one has mistakes- the rings fused incompletely or opened up (which I like) but the final version will be solid. It’s labor intensive to get the honeycomb section perfect so I’ll be making these in limited quantities.

water casting + enamel!

What could be better than water casting… water casting with pool blue enamel? And a few little hammer marks.

birch bark cuff
Originally uploaded by esjewelry
I remember when I found the bark for this one- I just knew it was “the” piece of birch bark! Birch bark cast in sterling silver is sort of a contradiction- something so fragile, made fairly permanent. To really make the indentations stand out, I did some selective polishing to remove some of the dull gray surface texture, giving it a pearly white matte glow in contrast to the dark markings of the birch bark. It’s a large piece and something I don’t expect to sell many of, but I’m happy with the results.
