Stick It In Your Ear - an earring focused workshop. Full price $595 due April 30th 2027
Earrings are such an essential part of making a jewelry collection and to so many people’s wardrobe.
Whether a pair are studs, post and dangly components or dangling from ear wires, earrings are some of my most highly selling type of jewelry. Making matched pairs out of slightly different sized stones can be a challenge and getting a mirrored pair looking just right. Or purposefully making mismatched earrings that still have a balance and work together can be a fun project in its own right. The possibilities are endless! Let’s put our previous workshop techniques to the test and make something special together.
Omega clips can be another component to get larger cluster studs to sit well on the ear and a secure backing. These can also be used for clip on earrings if you or a customer don’t have pierced ears.
Let’s gather and explore one of the earliest forms of body adornment and make some jewels to adorn those beautiful lobes.

BIO:
Finding the beauty in gemstones lured me into gold smithing. The natural surfaces and crystal structures fascinate me and the never ending rainbow of colors keeps me inspired. Using these characteristics along with unique faceting and cuts gives my work a modern feel with throw back designs to the Art Deco period, but keeping a whimsical nature. Fabricating the settings for each gemstone in gold and silver gives me a sense of connection to the natural elements of my work. They take on their own life as I arrange the designs and find ways to group them into pieces using a variation of color combinations to dazzle the eye and speak to the soul. Sometimes it is the similarities of shapes that seem to work well together or it could be a total contrast of shining facets of polished gems paired with a raw jagged surface of a jewel right from the ground. Other times it is restraint of a simple design that lets the stone speak for itself. My joy comes from bringing these treasures to life.
