SilverSmithing

Aspecial word of thanks to photgrapher and journalist Leticia Verdi for these fabulous photographs. She has been able to breathe some fine detail life into these pieces. Have a good look.

First up my signature leaf wing origami earrings.
A real modern flash when on posts of different lengths.
Made with 999.99 fine silver and 950 silver posts and backs.

Pedro, Pedro.
Yeah.
950 silver, deep brushed texture finish on the outside.
Depending on the angle of the cocktail shaker you can just catch a glimpse of these fifty two zircons set on the inside rims. Set by my friend and master stone setter Richard Oschenko.
Thank you Richard.
Thank you Pedro.
Yeah, that's fifty two working weeks in a year you know.

 Leaf ring.
999.99 fine silver.
These ladies have their act together in a minute.
I take the fine silver flakes direct from the refiner and form the ring in the fire. Magical.
Push, pull, hammer, size.
Polish the inside, buff the outer.
Simple and unique.

Celtic warrior bracelet.
This is a real power piece. Over seventy grams on a tiny wrist.
Hollow work, the weight comes from all the chunky granulation.

 Cristalinas Native. 950 silver and deep red lodite quartz. The stone was sourced locally by my friend Charles, cut by his father. Cool, solid two prong setting. LIke a photograph in a stone of earth's history.

Aine's ring.
No other known title ;)
This ring is fun, modern, serious and of powerful presence, like its owner.
Dendritic quartz in 950 silver.
A crazy setting, the whole top is a single piece of hammered, folded silver sheet, which is soldered onto a free sizing  base ring.

Trancoso Coral. With special thanks to Eliana F. Collected from the beach, Trancoso Bahia 2010. Found coral and a simple twisting line of 950 silver.
Bouncy, irreverant.

14k gold and 950 silver.
Inspired by Toru Iwatani, thank you.
Some historical controversy here.

 
Summer Band bracelet. 950 silver.
Leaf wing origami earrings, long posts. 999.99 silver and 950 posts.

And last here, but no way Jose, not the least! It's one of the bugs!! Pendant
950 silver, amethyst cabochon.

Thank you buyers, lenders, inspirers, contributors, swappers and universe, thank you.
