Jewelry Process

Mask of Ages


It starts with research and a drawing


                  
                                                                                
Then there's a lot of cutting with a jeweler's saw and soldering and filing

                                                                            



                                                 I Am the Walrus Bracelet                                                  


The Making of a bracelet.....


              

A little bit of forging

                          

Some more piercing and sawing...soldering..adding the gold bits

                                            

    

A few more parts and it's ready for the final soldering

                                                    

The scrimshaw process....you missed all the lapidary process, but I'll add more pictures of that process soon.


             

    




The Seal Hunter Bolo Tie and Belt Buckle


             

                                                                        Lots of bezeling



    
                                                        adding the stones...all custom fit








 
Hope you enjoyed the journey...these are all just peek-a-boo looks into our process.  There is so much more then this involved in the making of our work.  Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. 


Sincerely,

Denise Wallace and Ohana
