| Turquoise and Silver bracelets. I made these bracelets in about 21/2 hours each. I had read about a different soldering technique and I decided to try it out. It worked flawlessly. These are the second and third bracelets I have made. The one on the left is #3 and the one on the right is #2. The stones are about 3" long. |
This pinky ring is has my upper right wisdom tooth set in

for a cleaning and he filled it for free. What a nice
dentist I have!!!

This bracelet is Sterling and Turquoise It sold the
day after I made it at a craft show for $175.
The lady that bought it kept coming back and
looking at it and putting it on. She actually left
and came back about 4 hours later before she
bought it.

I bought this piece of Fischer stone to cut into a
cabochon. A friend saw it and wanted it set as it is. After
some discussion we decided on this decorative prong
setting. She loves it and gets a lot of comments on it.
It is approximately 3.5" long.

This is my first try at soldering copper to
silver. I hammer textured the copper
back and then soldered the silver bezel
to the backing. I then set the stone and
slightly domed the back.
Better photos to come.
