I feel like I needed to round out some jewelry making skills so I tried my hand at stringing beads. Each strand is 16” long with a sterling silver chain so it can be worn at longer lengths up to 18” long. hand-forged charm made by yours truly. Made with a sturdy secure clasp.

Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
