I love the colorful crud after soldering. When I started metalsmithing, in high school, I used to cover my pieces in lacquer after soldering in hopes of maintaining this color. FYI, it didn't work. It would rot from underneath and dissolve the lacquer. Lessons learned.

Men's or woman's brooch or lapel pin with black and gold.

These days we are brooch crazy. A style like this is perfect for a lapel. It is sterling with matte black and 24k gilding.

We are on our way home from @gasparillaarts. Thank you Tampa!

I love the glow of the 24k gold leaf. Can you see it?

I am in love with this new brooch. It is made with a lab grown opal which I broke. Because I am a klutz and toss unset stones on concrete floors. So I did what I do - which is seam it with gold leaf. See how the color changes when you move it! 🥰😍

New one of a kind work on the bench. I am leaning heavily into the lab grown opal right now. We all need a little (a lot) of sparkle these days. Am I right? ✨

This ring is a little hard to capture in photos. The dark stone is called Purpurite - a manganese phosphate mineral. It is very dark, almost black and then flashes an intense deep purple color when you least expect it!

Gorgeous labradorite and amethyst ring. The labradorite reminds me of a butterfly wing. 🦋

selection of handmade silver cuffs and bands.

Melted some metal and stocked up on these solid silver cuffs made with all of our silver scrap. We use a combination of sterling, argentinum, and fine silvers. These are hefty sand cast pieces that will last longer than you will. Perfect hand me down pieces!

I have corralled them all together on our website so you can choose a specific pair to give a forever home to. They need your love! 💖

So this ring is kind of like that other ring I posted last week but instead of curves it is angled. Thoughts? Which one do you like best? Scroll to see the first.
