I use sterling silver and sometimes 14k gold in my art in jewelry. Techniques used would be inlay, cobble inlay, hopi overlay designs, stamping and setting stones in bezels. These techniques go into bracelets, cuffs, rings, and bolo etc. In my jewelry I use natural stones ranging from onyx, all types of turquoise stones, Sugilite, coral, black jade, old siberian jade, ivory, dinosaur bone, pink opal, opals, and Lapis lazuli etc.
