I design and create beautiful cluster jewelry using sterling silver plates, wires and natural or stabilized turquoise and sea shells. I use an acetylene with a torch tip as fuel to heat and solder the silver together. I use hammering techniques to shape ring shanks, curve bracelet/cuff rib or plates, and pop out round disc for handmade beads. I use the annealing technique to heat the thick gauges of silver and I let it cool so it is easier to work with. I also use a hammer to stamp several repousse designs onto the silver plates. Pliers are used to shape the bezel cups, saw blades of varies sizes are used to cut out the design and files of varies finest are used to smooth edges. Stones are set and bezels are pressed and crip down to hold the stones in place. I use a buffing machine with buffing wheels, bobbing compound and white rouge to clean and shine my jewelry.
