Materials Used:Sterling Silver, Natural various Turquoise, natural Mediterranean Coral, other natural gems/stones - Pink Conch, Druzy, Lapis, Spiny Oyster, Peridot, Aquamarine, Amethyst, Ruby, Tourmaline, Citrine, Moonstone and others.Description of Process:The majority of the work I do I use the repousse technique. I layout the design of the piece being created on silver then I bump out the design. Once the design is bumped out, if the piece will be inlaid with stones I make the bezel for the stones, solder the bezel on the piece. Once that's done I file and buff. Once it's buffed I apply the patina on the pieces. After that I use the wheel to shine up the bumped out design so it stands out. I leave a lot of patina on my pieces to give it the antique traditional appearance.
