FAQ

Q: What is in the metals you use? Are they alloys or plated? How much silver is in Sterling silver?

A: Click here for metals information.

Q: Do you make all the jewelry on this site?

A: Yes. A few components such as beads and some of the clasps are made by other jewelry makers.

Q: When did you start making jewelry?

A: I started in 2002, stringing beads and assembling necklaces. I didn't do any jewelry making for a couple of years and then I resumed jewelry work in 2006, and learned how to weave chain mail in November of 2006.

Since then I have taken courses in general jewelry techniques including soldering (brazing), riveting, texturing, metal clay, and stone setting. I have also fallen head over heels in love with pearls!

Q. How can I see your jewelry in person?

A: Come to an event or open studio! On the News page, you will find the next one. Hope to see you there!
