Making a jewelry collection with gems I found in North Carolina

Come hang out & watch me make a jewelry collection with some of the very first gems I found rockhounding in North Carolina 💘

Okay… I can’t post this without saying a little something here. I am in the process of teaching myself silversmithing, and even though I’m getting better at it, I can’t don’t have time to make all my own settings by hand. It still takes hours for me to pull together one silversmithed piece, and I’m just one person! I work with a lovely jewelry team in Canada that makes solid silver & gold settings using CAD designs, and they are the best. Working with them to make settings saves me so much time and allowed me to focus on my true passion - FACETING GEMS!
All that to say, I hope you all still enjoyed this video even though I’m not technically making every part myself. Putting together a collection this way is still a fun process, and I wanted to give you all a little look into it.
See you in the next one!

Outstanding work, they look great! And smithing soft metals is a very rewarding process, I wish you luck!

Thank you so much!! It seriously is. I was over the moon when I smithed my first ring even though it took a full day and looked kind of awful 😂
