Shiny Silver

These were just finished in a tumbler for about 7 hours and came out very shiny. The picture doesn’t quite capture it. When they catch the light it’s a little bit blinding.
new work, etc.

The silver on the peach moonstone ring is left bright, and for the gray moonstone ring the hammered band is oxidized. The peach ring in the picture is a size 7, and the gray moonstone is one I’m keeping for myself. It’s a 6 3/4.
This is an item I’ve started making again, only this time they’re concave…
I haven’t had much time to post or create any new work after blog features in February (design*sponge, modish) sent some heavy traffic to my etsy shop, but this weekend I had some time to create two new pieces. One is a small (4 mm) pink pearl bezel set ring in sterling silver, and the other is a fine silver birch bark ring made from precious metal clay. I made a little mold of a strip of birch bark, rolled the clay to an even thickness, and let it pick up the surface texture of the birch bark. It’s oxidized lightly to help reveal the texture of the bark and left in an organic, overlapping shape.
This new lariat necklace makes me think of spring, when the apple petals fall. It’s made of a 24″ sterling silver cable chain with three keishi petal pearls wired at ends.
