I’m having so much fun these day playing with fine silver wire.  I found that I just love to work with fine silver – fusing, forging, tumbling… what fun!  Here are a few pictures of my fine silver creations in the past few weeks:

These new earrings I made are so fun and go with everything. They are made from 20 gauge sterling silver wire that is shaped and hammered for an interesting texture and to harden the wire. They slip easily into your ears and are approximately 1-1/2 inches long but can be ordered in other lengths. These are priced at just $15.

I’m so excited about this latest cuff bracelet that I’ve been making. I LOVE this bracelet and my customers have been ordering them like crazy in various color schemes. This particular bracelet is 1-1/2 inches wide but I make them wider as well. You can custom order one of these bracelets for $35 plus shipping. Just let me know what color scheme you would like!

Valetine’s Day February 12, 2009

I continue to love shaping wire and hammering it! Just something fun about pounding (hee, hee)!  This is my new favorite design just in time for Valentine’s day. I can make this design in sterling silver or non-tarnish silver colored copper wire (shown here).  The price would increase a bit for sterling.  Have a wonderful valentine’s day!

 

My New Favorite Bracelet December 3, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — designzbykate @ 6:14 pm

I just finished making this new bracelet!Teardrop Hammered Wire Bracelet $18

It has become my new favorite design. I love to bend and shape wire. But, I really like to hammer. It so fun to watch the look of the design change. Plus, it’s just fun to do. Hammering has another benefit, the wire actually gets stronger when hammered. This design can also be made into a necklace. The bracelet sells for $18 and the necklace in the same design would be $32.
