I am excited to introduce the Hammered Horseshoe Ring. Now available in silver (and gold is coming soon). I cold forged this lucky horseshoe and added a hammered texture so that it glitters in the light. It is now available on my website in the Rings category. 🐎 #horseshoe #horselover #luckycharm #goodluck #luckyhorseshoe #silverhorse #mendocino #outsidelife
I carved this super unique jade thin enough to allow the translucency when held to the sun. It is sage green with mossy black veins throughout. I sourced this jade from Wyoming where it is the state gemstone and carved the rock in my studio. ✨This pair of earrings is available for purchase on my website in the Handcut Stones section.✨#Jade #NephriteJade #WyomingJade #Lapidary #Handcarved #MetalSmith #NorthernCalifornia #CraftsPerson
Introducing Hammered Hoop Earrings! Glittering in silver. One by one I sculpt each hoop from a straight piece of wire. I use my hands and tools to shape the initial circle and then I slowly add the texture with my hammer. These are about 1 1/2” wide and each one is unique. ⚡️They are available now on my website www.isabeljewelry.com in the Earrings category. (Link in bio)⚡️ And for fun, that is the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco city and bay in the background of the video. 🌊 #sf #goldengatebridge #gogiants #hoopearrings #hammer #silversmith #customjewelry #onebyone #artistmade #americancrafts
I’m making ingots out of silver scrap that I will roll into wire. First I gather the scrap, then I melt it in a crucible, once it is molten I carefully pour it into an ingot mold, and then upon opening that mold I get to see if I succeeded (not always this beautiful!). It makes a thick round rod that I now will roll through my rolling mill and once small enough I will draw through a wire plate to the desired gauge. I will be making various thicknesses to use in hoop earrings (coming soon!!!) and for ring bands. 🔥🥳#SilverSmith #metalwork #metalsmith #silver #ingot #madebyhand #crafted #mendo
Ancient Egyptians believed that amethyst was a powerful protector especially against drunkenness. Other cultures have also found it to be a protecting stone and a symbol of love. Amethyst is a precious form of quartz and can vary from light pale to royal purple. I set this amethyst in gold on top of a silver ring band. It is available on my website www.isabeljewelry.com in the Rings category. (Not your size? Get in touch for a custom order.) 🌊 There’s an exciting swell today and the powerful waves were crashing on the rocks and whipping the sea into white foam. 🌊 #FortBraggCalifornia #Mendocino #MendocinoCounty #AmethystRing #FebruaryBirthstone #CustomJewelry
I recently custom made this gold and lapis lazuli pendant to make a matching set with the gold and silver lapis lazuli ring. It looks so pretty wrapped in gold because often lapis lazuli contains tiny specks of golden colored pyrite. This stone is like the sky on a stunning, starry night. #lapislazuli #bluegem #customjewelry #goldsmith #fortbraggca #superhandmade #crafted
