@bluenmwjewelry ・・・ I have had the honor to make this pendant/necklace for the woman I have considered my best friend since third grade...almost 40 years! Sterling silver lotus flower with lapis lazuli. My entry for July’s #metalsmithchallenge “intricate sawing” @metalsmithsociety . The most intricate sawing I have done to date. 😋 #metalsmith #silversmith #ladysmith #etsy #estyseller #etsysellersofinstagram #jewelryaddict #handmadejewelry #handmade #lotuspendant #lapislazuli #sterlingsilverjewelry #riojeweler https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tm0BqB4Wp/?igshid=ewkpxooap7od

Which one is your favourite? After crafting the first bees' box for April's #metalsmithchallenge (@metalsmithsociety), these bee necklaces have become one of my favourite designs to craft! They represent resilience, strength, power, but also gentleness and femininity - all qualities that the bees know well! • Would you like to see a few more of these in July? • None of these pieces is currently available, but I have only two custom order spots left if you want to get yours ♥️ (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byii5HZo_3g/?igshid=suvn2n35f14f

❌ The Honeycomb ❌ I just thought I'd share a close up of the piece I introduced in yesterday's video! This honeycomb box necklace was my take on this month's #metalsmithchallenge and I couldn't be happier to have put my skills on test! The most challenging part was probably creating a closing mechanism 🙈 you guys know when you have super clear in your mind what should work, but then in reality it doesn't?! 😂 So, after about 10 failed tries, I came up with that little hinged hook with 3 amber beads dangling below like spilling honey drops 🍯. One very fun part of this piece was making the little hexagon amber cab! A few months ago I dropped one of my oval amber cabs and.. of course it chipped - 😭! Broken hearted I just put it aside hoping to find a use for it one day. And yesterday I got this idea that maybe I could turn the cab into a different shape! Since amber is a very soft material it wasn't too complicated to shape it with my saw, files and Dremel, but I think the result is pretty cute, and reminds me so much of a beehive cell filled to the top with glorious orange honey! 🐝 • ❌ Available on April 15th at noon pst ❌ • • • #silverbox #opthandmade #honeycomb #beesjewellery #amberjewelry #handmadejewelry #silversmith (at Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo7CbFhQ4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nq6uuz2doj6p

❌ The Swallowtail Butterfly ❌ My pride and joy. Usually I'm not tempted to keep the jewelry I make for myself. But this one makes an exception. Maybe because of that stone. Maybe for the happiness of finally completing this design smoothly. Maybe I just love it for no rational reason. But I've decided that it wouldn't be fair for you to just keep it for myself. So I'll upload it on the shop on Monday together with all the other pieces. And if it doesn't find a home within the first couple days, I'll have to keep it... You guys have been warned 😂! • There are still a bunch of finished necklaces that I haven't shown on here yet - so keep your eyes peeled in the next couple days! Unfortunately I won't be able to make all the designs you suggested, in time for Monday. But I'm working on sketches anyway and, who knows, maybe a part 2 of the collection could find life around springtime.. ❌ Available this Monday February 11 at noon pst ❌ • • • #hairaccessories #sonorangoldturquoise #metalsmithchallenge #turquoisejewelry #greenturquoise #turquoisetuesday #swallowtailbutterfly #handcrafted #opthandmade #handmadejewelry #turquoiseoverdiamonds (presso Viterbo) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoJjqIIPfL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rysf257u9jxa
