Wow, thank you so much for showing me all that love on my post yesterday! I'd like to acknowledge the people who helped me prepare for the jury: @hkm_jewelry @robinmillerartisanjewelry @brookevanderzeedesigns @bpkphotography and @prettyshinybeads . These friends helped me deal with the application process, gave me an idea of what to expect at the jury, and helped critique the jewelry I chose and the display I set up. I appreciate your support so much! #sleepycatjewelry #thankyou #silversmith #metalsmith #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist #OOAKjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #hearts #feelingthelove #thankfulforfriends #njartist #haverfordguildofcraftsmen #madebyhand #madewithlove #bespokejewelry #benchjeweler #ladysmith https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc3Gljs300/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another redo, this time with larimar earrings. I trimmed off the watercast elements and removed most of the patina for a shinier look. Simplifying isn't always the best answer, but, in this case, I think it is. I think the elements I made with wire give these earrings all the extra they need and bring the focus more to those beautiful stones! #sleepycatjewelry #redo #larimarearrings #silversmith #metalsmith #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist #ooakjewelry #sterlingsilverjewelry #benchjeweler #njartist #madebyhand #opthandmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp70xWDufcZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Snowy owl flying across a snowy sky has a moonstone dangling below to represent an arctic landscape. All sterling silver metal components were sawn out by hand using my jeweler's saw. The snowy background on the pendant was created by fusing silver dust to the metal. The moonstone is set in fine silver, which is soldered to sterling silver metal. I framed it with silver wire that is balled on the ends. Snowy owls have actually been spotted on the beaches of NJ during the winter but I haven't been lucky enough to spot one. Have you ever seen one in the wild? #sleepycatjewelry #snowyowl #artjewelry #owlnecklace #winter #arctic #inspiredbynature #OOAKjewelry #arttowear #silversmith #metalsmith #jewelrydesigner #jewelryartist #benchjeweler #njartist #makersofnj #opthandmade #ladysmith #madebyhand #riojeweler https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn17BHxNQ1p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
