Every piece of jewelry that I build starts out as a silver ingot. It is then rolled out to the desired, or specified type of wire or flat plate. it is then soldered together by hand, and formed on either a mandrel or wooden stump. I use various types of stamps on my work, as well as my own texture designs that I came up with. The inlay is done Genie machine by hand and the final piece is then polished on a buffing wheel.
