I am always attracted to unique and unusual crafts. I have been a lamp work artist and jewelry designer for over 15 years, selling locally in Calgary, Alberta Canada. ( I also hand carve eggs, which you may see posted here from time to time). I have recently stepped into the world of electroforming and have fallen in love with the chemistry of it. My goal is to create unique, one of a kind, fine copper wearable art.
Electroforming is the process of covering something with metal (in this case, copper) using electricity and chemicals. An item is placed in a special chemical bath and current is applied to it, causing a strong thick coat of copper to form over the object. Once a thick copper coat is applied, the object is removed and then buffed to a shine. A patina is then applied to the copper to give it a unique look and to discourage tarnishing.
All my jewelry is made by me, from start to finish. Each pendant is individual and unreproduceable. They have been paired with a chain that I feel best reflects the piece. All chains are high quality PVD 14-18 karat gold/ rose gold plate or 14 k rose gold filled, with a surgical stainless steel core. This is the most cost effective alternative to solid gold available, and the next highest quality to solid gold. My prices reflect this quality.
I can custom pieces, however often times the patina and the piece has a mind of its own, so it is difficult to precisely match a request. For this same reason, I rarely have earrings available, as pieces will often not match. Your pendant is as unique as you are. each one is lovingly handcrafted, and will never have a duplicate.
The leaf jewelry is made from real leaves and is therefore seasonal in nature. If you are looking for specific leaves for purchase, the majority of my pieces will be made and available in the summer months and early fall. Check back in the summer to find my updated stock, or contact me directly. I may have items not posted that are available for purchase.
The majority of my work is set aside for wholesale. Please contact me directly if you are interested in purchasing over 10 pieces.
