Very excited to meet you and share my knowledge about jewelry with you! I am a silversmith and enamelist as well as a registered gemologist. I have been making jewelry for a few years now and really like to play with different ways of incorporating color and metal. There is so much to learn and every instructor comes with new and unique ways of doing things so I am always taking classes and continuing my education in this field. I mostly work in copper and silver but recently did my first piece using scrap gold and repurposed diamonds.
