Fusion Hoop Earrings

Fusion Hoop Earrings

I know just about everyone has either heard me say, I don't
like sculpting earrings because I hate to sculpt two of them...
a left and a right but these were worth it. I wear a pair of these and i love them,
 nice weight and our fusion two-tone colors, black and silver is perfect for this design.

Charlotte Fine Arts Show Demo

Charlotte Fine Arts Show Demo

This was my first lost wax demo at the Charlotte Fine Arts Show this past weekend...it was pretty awesome talking to so many people who had no clue that my jewelry was made using sheets of wax that I hand sculpted.
I started out by sketching out a leaf necklace and made individual leaves and added them to my wax wire. I had wax sheets, wax wire and all of my tools including my favorite Wax Pen. They could touch the wax, handle the tools...whatever, it was great!

A Wedding Gift for Kathy and Wynne

Completed!

Two Matching Pendants for Kathy & Wynne

New Fusion Ocean Cuff


While waiting on a new mandrel to come in for Diane's Starfish Cuff I finished up a new Fusion Cuff...It will have the fan coral fused into the cuff with the starfish dots. This cuff will be only 7/8" wide, Medium to Large Cuff which is rare for me to do...I usually start at 2" I'm hoping to do a three-tone finish of 18k gold plated finish on the fan coral and Sterling Silver Dots with a Black Rhodium Finish or just a very dark antiquing.

The piece will take on the Fusion design once completed...dots and all too!

Our very own model...

My daughter-in-law, Sandra Simms has graciously accepted my request to
model some of my jewelry so that you can see how they look on a person,
with a dress etc. Sandra is about 5'6", slim and beautiful blue eyes.

Here she is wearing a Fan Coral Necklace from my
Ocean Reef Collection. It's Sterling Silver, Solid 14k gold and three
small accent diamonds.

Here is a perfect example of what I wanted to accomplish having
Sandra wear my jewelry. This Starfish cuff fits a medium wrist which Sandra has.

...another perfect example, Sandra wears a size 7 ring and
although she doesn't have short fingers, she doesn't have
extra long either.

I have 43 photographs showing different pieces and I have left every photo in full size format so that you can see the detail of the jewelry. Check out our "Model Jewelry" Page to see additional model shots.

Starfish and Fan Coral Cuff

Wow, talk about still being in the rough on this one, three days of work
and it still looks like this. Oh well, my family has given it a two thumbs up so
in a couple of day (Monday or Tuesday) I'll follow up on some new updated photos.


Width: 1 3/4"

One side done, now the other...

Time consuming but worth it.
