I have been experimenting with bending and pounding sterling silver wire of various gauges (thicknesses) and I am really enjoying every step of the process.

  • coming up with theshape for the wire
  • creating the shape in wire
  • pounding the wire flat
  • then using that form in a piece

Here are some examples of my work:


These earrings all use a sterling silver wire hand formed piece:


This necklace uses several different sterling wired hand formed pieces:
