Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Jordynn May Edaakie

All jewelry is handmade with sterling silver materials such as 26ga plates,#9 beaded wires, #5 half low dom wires, #10 square wires, 20 ga twisted wires, and handmade stamped leafs. The necklaces are stringed with sterling silver #9mm handmade beads. Silver is hand cut, and molded into shapes that is desired to our designs. All pieces are soldered together using yellow flux, and silver solder, using a propane hand torch. Items are place in the acid for cleaness. Then set with hand cut semi precious stones(Turquoise,Red Coral,White/Yellow Mother of pearls,black pinn shells, blue lapis, just to name a few.) The stones are grinded into shapes and placed one by one to create a intricate and ornate designs. Next process is to sand down the roughness of the stones using 220 grit sand paper to smooth it. Final process is to buff the pieces using yellow bobbing compound on white muslim wheel. For a bright shine I use green Zam. All items stamped with sterling silver, our name, and Zuni tribe.
