Ivan J Howard, I started making jewelry in 1992, I received a bonus check from SBS Engineering, I took the check an bought jewelry tools. A good friend of mine Arland Ben showed me the basics of making jewelry. I�ve been making jewelry since then to present day. I continue to improve everyday, I�ve also, tried many jewelry styles. When I make jewelry it�s a form of therapy an I loose track of time. I fabricate my jewelry using Gold, Sterling Silver sheets , Fine Silver bezel and high grade turquoise. Through the years I�ve tried different jewelry styles and improved every time. I take pride in my jewelry designs an continue to improve every day. I use traditional jewelry making techniques using old style and high grade materials. Through the years I�ve continued to improve my jewelry techniques and style. I pray for my jewelry that it heals people that wear my jewelry.
