Featured Etsy Shop Series: SilverSmack

Creating with silver and wire is the passion of this jewelry artisan whose shop is SilverSmack.etsy.com . She loves to see what her silver wire can do and creates wonderful jewelry with it, like the pendant necklace below.

                                     

She calls her creations hammered silver wire wrapped inspirations, and they are very creative. The earrings above resemble a bean or pea pod, with the gemstones of aqua amazonite and lavender lepidolite within. The wrapping style is the ancient technique of Herringbone Wrap.

Beautiful  wire wrapped briolette pendants and earrings, and designs involving hammered silver rings are some of this artisan's current favorites to express in wire and silver.




If you want to have some custom jewelry made just for you, this artisan is happy to work with you. And visit her other shops MoonMystic to see more gemstone and pearl jewelry, and SuperiorStones for beach glass and stone jewelry.
