Hammered Rings …Customized

Written March 25, 2013

 I am often asked to add some flare to a hammered band with a gemstone so I work with my customers to customize.

This ring is in 14K White Gold and I set the customer’s diamond that she had me take out of an older ring.

A 14K Rose Gold 3mm hammered ring with a 6mm yellow citrine, this ring was made for a customer that already had a matching rose gold wedding band.

Here is a 6mm ‘satin finish’ Tiger Stripe hammered ring in sterling silver, the customer requested a cushion cut white topaz be set in a thicker bezel.

London Blue Topaz set in a tapered Regular Hammer ring. My customer had bought this stone many years ago and it had been sitting in her jewelry box so she was happy to finally use it.

A 3mm sterling silver with garnet Tiger Stripe hammered ring. I have used so many different gemstones over the years!

And a smokey quartz cushion cut gem set inline with the hammered band.

Happy 2013 New Year!

Written January 5, 2013

 I have taken a small break from the jewelry making to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with my family and friends.  However I am back in town and will be diving right back into the jewelry bench.  Right before I left for the holiays I made a beautiful turquoise bracelet with 6 strands of Nevada mined turquoise with a sterling silver clasp that I recently designed.  I will be offering more bracelets with this clasp with various gemstones.

I am endlessly updating my website with new work.  First I design and fabricate the jewelry— then I photograph it in my special light tent— then I crop and correct the images— then I upload the information and images and then…ta-da…it’s online!  It can be overwhelming to run my own business and tend to every task, including sweeping and mopping the floors, but it is rewarding because I love my work and it makes me happy when my customers appreciate the jewelry.

Customized Hammered Rings

written – July 03, 2012

I often customize hammered rings to my customers’ desires.  Here is one I made this week, 3.5 mm Hammered 14K White Gold ring with four flush set apatite stones.

Also a recent custom order was a hammered ring that tapers in back and has two star-set stones in a slab on top. My customer wanted a one-of-a-kind unusual mother’s ring. The two stones are turquoise and lapis lazuli and the ring is sterling silver.
