Carving Silver

I have figured out how to use a combination of engraving and sculpting to replicate the look of chasing and repousse but on a much smaller scale, achieving details that I wasn’t able to get with just chasing.

Chasing and Repousse vs Engraving and Sculpting

As I continue to strive to reach the vision I have for my jewelry, I keep trying out new techniques. These projects compare how chasing and repousse on a very small scale looks compared to engraving and sculpting.

Radio Silence and Update

While I’ve been absent from both social media and my blog, I’ve been busy trying to focus my business and my direction. I’m very excited about my upcoming new work!

Hand Engraving vs. Chasing and Repousse

I have been working to incorporate my new engraving skills into my work, trying to figure out exactly where it fits. I made the same pair of earrings, one using chasing and repousse and another with engraving, to see the difference side by side.

Rings, Rings and More Rings!

People love rings, but I’ve always been hesitant to make them. I like small, but to make rings, one has to work very small. And, since most of my work focuses on chasing and repousse, I really hadn’t figured out how to make them and stay true to what I do.
