Dazzling Sky Pin Brooch – Argentium Silver with Sky Blue Topaz

At last i made a pin brooch ! The enthusiasm to try this when i was ask by my student to teach her to make brooches. I try figure out what are the best brooches for her to learn (as she is at a beginner level), i came out with two designs, one is pin brooch (as per above) and the other is designing brooch using ‘ready made flat back’ pin (nickel silver). As for this brooch, i construct it from scratch by using hard Argenitum silver wire with Sky Blue Topaz and i hardened it more (prior stitching the stone) by tumbling it. I enjoy making this as it is very simple, elegant and unique!

The Mystical Eyes Ring – Argentium and Fine Silver with Gemstones

I know i had left my blog too long without updating anything even my (with Katrina) current Lex Bazaar last Saturday. It had been very hectic weeks that full of classes ( gems setting) and customized orders (though i won’t be able to update that, pity me).

I made this ring two months back but i never had the chance to photograph it. This ring is my private collection that i keep for myself and i’m using the techniques in my Majestic Ring tutorial. The stone that i used is called JayJay or JJ (could not find the description of this beauty over the net) as i was told by the seller and if you can see that it has white smoke trap inside the stone that makes me fall in love when i saw it for the 1st time. Actually i had another two more of this that i will use in my next stone setting project. Stay tune for more exciting pieces ! » Read more: The Mystical Eyes Ring – Argentium and Fine Silver with Gemstones
