Now that I have plenty of time to make jewelry and the holidays are upon us, I am gearing up for the season! I'm mixing metal and gemstones for a beautiful look. I will primarily be using sterling silver but occasionally I will be making some pieces with copper to help keep the cost down.

This sterling silver bracelet is one of my favorite new pieces. It started out as a simple piece of wire and has been transformed into a pretty nature-inspired bracelet. I texturized both sides of the bracelet and then soldered on the sterling silver flying sparrow. I then wirewrapped a beautiful faceted teardrop Chalcedony briolette. Check out my Etsy shop to see my other new creations!
