Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Veronica Benally

Hand fabricated sterling silver jewelry. Some pieces are stamped/tooled. All lives have my name. I cut my stones and seashell with saw and grind with a grinding belt. I use water to keep the stones cool. I use epoxy and super glue to hold my stones into the bezel. I drill into my stones and seashells using dental tools and re-inlay the blank areas with sterling silver round wire or silver tubing and other stones and seashells. I polish stones using sapphire powder. Jewelry is re-grinded with a finer grit sanding belt. Once it’s complete I buff on a buffing machine.
