Description This works as a choker or tiara (but it's really heavy!).
All fine silver (99.9% silver).

This one was largely experimental, testing my skills with flowers.

Lovely metalwork! They look delicate despite being made of metal... as if they'd rustle in a strong breeze. Nice photography as well.

Simply freaking amazing....I'm completely in awe. Is this sheet silver, or art clay? *bows down* I'm good, but you are astounding.

Klyph In reply to MoonlitReverie [2006-05-12 20:15:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, this start out as silver pellets, I melt them to make sheets and wires. the sheets become the roses and leaves and the wire... well, you know what the wire is for.

I make the leaves and roses into pendants before I put them together. This gives me some 'insurance' - if you will - in case the piece doesn't work out, I can take it apart and still use the leaves and roses in another piece.

Finished your ring today! I re-made it from scratch. All that's left is to make it black and give it a final spin in the tumbler. 2.5 inches right?

How did you do the rose petals?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Klyph In reply to diamondwhitewolf [2006-05-11 06:23:12 +0000 UTC]

When fine silver first comes out from the machine as a sheet, it's rather soft, and I use a pair of metal cutters to cut it into the shape I want, then pliers and a hammer-and-rubberpad combo helps shape the petals before welding.

It's fun to figure things out like a jigsaw puzzle.

diamondwhitewolf In reply to Klyph [2006-05-11 06:28:04 +0000 UTC]

ok, wow. yah i took Jewery (basic, and a casting class) and we got our silver for a ring that we had to make. and we had a jewelers saw to cut it and then file the edges down etc etc. so when you said you did it all in 5 hours i was like WHA! and by welding do you mean soldering the things together?

PS:thank you for answering my questions!

Klyph In reply to diamondwhitewolf [2006-05-13 08:56:05 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I meant soldering. My uncle calls it welding - whatever works. hee hee.
I make the roses and leaves as separate charms before putting them together with wire. The actual choker doesn't use any solder at all.

i love your leaves but need a few witches thrown in, with a cat,moon,sun......and about 9 inches so it moves everywhere and makes a bit of noise.....earrings would be a combination , ......you are the artist...you know what you do well.....i will take your piece to a few exclusive shops here in hollywood florida, where i live and see if they want to carry some of your things...,if you want....give me a approximate price so i can save up my millions, ha ha, and when it might be completed.....around august woud be perfect.thanks for responding....
