So it's time to put money where my mouth is and produce some jewellery. In my Flickr link you can see the first few pieces that I have made. The stacking rings are simple, they look handmade but in a finished and polished way and they have an elegance to them. I got so much satisfaction from making these that I will try more in different finishes and sizes. I love wearing them instead of my wedding band and they go with everything.
I have also tried my hand at some repair/remodeling work for a necklace that did not hang right. I made a link to match the chain and took a size that would fit all three chains so they still had freedom to move. It was my first time mitering with such a small piece and although time consuming it was very satisfying.
I have made some earrings to match the necklace from a request by the customer and I have played with some silver wire to create a front fastening, customizable necklace. Simple and effective. I wear it all the time to advertise!
All in all a productive few weeks and with the green light for the company given I hope it will not be long before I have a shop set up on the internet.
So...time for some research on what is in fashion for spring 2010 and get my designer head on to produce my first ever spring line!
