I got together with friends to play with enamels. Made the round copper enameled piece, used a stencil to make the design and some gold leaf. Put it together with a long rock I drilled holes into.
Shard Pendant
I finally got around to cutting up an old mug to use pieces in my jewelry. The middle swirl is a piece of the mug. The top piece is a polished stone, not sure what it is, maybe mookaite??

Christmas Tree In April
I had to make an ornament so I did this sterling silver tree with beaded wire, soldered onto copper.
New Bracelet
Couple Of Rings
This ring is a remake. I wasn’t loving the original so I removed the bezel and replaced it with one that is patterned. I thought it would be too busy but since the stone is a simple round stone, I think it looks better.
Practice Piece
After taking Joanna Gollberg’s class I wanted to practice what I learned. This was supposed to be a bracelet but it turned out really chunky and I lost one of the stones and a setting. So I turned it into a necklace. It’s still chunky and I would like to have more stones which I might add at a later date.
I’m happy I’m getting the hang of soldering several points without melting anything.

Box Bead Necklace and Other Things
Finally got around to making a silver box bead necklace. Had to add some glass beads too.
Also finished another message locket pendant.
I used a glass bullet cab on the top and domed the bottom.
I wanted to practice what I learned in Joanna Gollberg’s glass so I did a prong setting for the lavender CZ. The cabochon is glass with enamels and frit on it.
Joanna Gollberg Class
I took a class with Joanna Gollberg. I learned a lot. Here’s some things I made in class.
Earrings. I added the bows to cover up the jump rings since I made one in class and the other at home, I used different size jump rings. Oops.
Little pendant so I could try the double decker setting.
Drusy ring. Sorry about the blurriness. Couldn’t get a good picture.
